Joy dot: first hummingbird of the season yesterday

I was a three meal a day person who also ate snacks. The first thing I worked on was making my meals more substantial and program friendy. Then I made my snacks program friendly. And then I worked on eliminating the snacks, although I still need them when I exercise.

On the step 3 list, in the files, there is a list of nano steps for step 3, and what is often helpful is to look at it and start with what is easiest. For me, working on my meals first was easy because I was already eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I wasn't eating enough protein or enough food, so I worked on content. For someone who is used to nibbling all day, something else might be easiest to start with.

: I've been feeling very solid on Step
: 1 and have been breakfast-ing (all
: 4 parts) for about 8 weeks. This
: Saturday will mark one month of
: journaling. I'm starting to
: consider Step 3 and I'm curious...

: What are the signs to look for or the
: questions to ask myself to know if
: my Step 2 is solid? (It 'feels'
: solid to me - I do it every day
: throughout the day. It feels
: comforting to collect data. I
: haven't done much in the way of
: review yet, other than the
: exercise in PNP where you look at
: times and patterns of eating. I've
: read here that the real learning
: from my journal will come later in
: the steps.)

: When it comes time for me to start
: Step 3, I'm not really sure where
: to start. It feels a little
: overwhelming. Will you share any
: suggestions or experiences? I'd be
: really curious and happy to hear
: from you all what kinds of
: nano-steps or approaches you've
: taken with your Step 3.
