Today was my first day of really counting my weight watchers points. I must say I did rather well for the most part. Sometime around 4:30p I became ravenous. I daydreamed of mocha frappe's and Little Debbie cakes. My mouth watered as I imagined raiding my cabinets, and in a hunger induced panic, binging on whatever I could grab.
I ate a banana.
And I felt like a Friggin' rockstar. I swear I heard my fat particles cry out as they slowly died, screaming in frustration over losing the battle they fought so hard. I had a nutrigrain bar for breakfast, a pb&j, fresh bell peppers, apple slices and a cheese stick for lunch, snacked on fruit and veggies all day and then sabotaged all of my hard work on dinner.
How sad is it that eating right is deemed as "hard work"???? That alone speaks for the condition my thighs are in. It shouldn't be hard work to watch what I put into my mouth. Food addiction sucks. And I'm not even close to joking. I'm dead serious. I'm addicted to food and it makes life hard. I laugh about it, because it's ridiculous and what else can you do, but it seriously it is a soul sucking demon and I hate it.
So, I did well all day until dinner. My entree portion size itself was decent. The ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and pasta? Not so much. The garlic cheese bread alone most likely used up the 26 points I had left for dinner. At least I ate a salad. But it was most definitely cancelled out by the Ben & Jerry's I followed dinner with. Even if it was a super small portion. By bedtime tonight I was hungry again and ate another cheese stick.
I'm not going to call my first day counting points as a failure even though I wasn't even able to get through a full day. I have bonus points and if I stay strict the rest of the week I may surprise myself and lose. Tomorrow is a new day!
Great now I have Jennifer Hudson singing in my head...
I have a long road ahead of me. Why can't this be easy?

It's hard work remembering to 'eat right'! I did really well when I was pregnant bc of the gestational diabetes. Since I had the baby though, I was back to the carbs fast! I'm ready for baby #2 now so I can 'have' to eat healthier and really watch what I eat.
Good luck! At least you are starting on the right path. :)
Don't eat a Nutrigrain bar for breakfast! I'd be ravenous too! I used to eat a big bowl of oatmeal made with vanilla almond milk & topped with strawberries, blueberries and bananas. It's super filling!
I have lots of yummy WW recipes if you want some :)
very tough. today was supposed to be my first work out day. although i didnt do a traditional workout, i did pretend i was christina aguilera as i shook my booty to moves like jagger 5 times in a row (the song is 4 minutes so that was 20 min.)
i am using sensa and it SEEMS to be working but i am thinking of counting weight watchers points with it. MAYBE.
