Food (eat less)

When I started this Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program, I was concerned about eating healthy and finding time to eat enough. As a result, I started eating more than I previously did and ended up gaining 5 pounds. Enough to make my pants feel tighter. Pretty surprising considering how active I've been. Then I realized that I've been overeating. I was eating when I wasn't hungry, for fear that I wouldn't have time to eat later or sometimes because I felt that I deserved a big meal after working hard in a yoga class.
Since realizing that, I've changed my ways. Now I'm eating breakfast, a good (and usually home made) lunch, and a healthy snack or light meal in the evening only if I'm hungry. It is working out well and I feel nourished.
