Getting the most Bang for my Points
I joined Weight Watchers and have been following it since I got back from my cruise. Last week I had two cheat days… which was bad. I was planning on only one but then two ended up coming out of the blue. Mainly because I went to lunch at work both days I worked last week. And that ends up giving me too many calories.
So anyway I can eat 21 points a day. At about 50 cals a point (that is not exact, the formula depends on fat and protein too) that’s not a lot of food. I am not really hungry, though. But I need the structure to follow or else I end up eating way, way too much. If I don’t write down what I eat, at the end of the day I don’t remember what I ate at the beginning of the day and so I eat more than I should.
I’ve been quite good at eating only my points. And my weight is dropping, yay! So now instead of eating a piece of toast with butter and jam for 4 or 5 points, I think heck, I can fill myself up a lot more for the same number of points if I eat a huge salad! So I am learning about how to fill myself up with less food.
Tomorrow will be hard, I’m going to my parent’s to make Marzipan. And I love that stuff. My sister will be there, though, so hopefully she will help me not eat all that yummy stuff! Ugh!
eek ! I was hopin’ you’d keep ME on track! see ya in a bit XO
It’s great that you are watching what you eat to lose weight. Are you also exercising on a regular basis? I have lost 25 lbs by eating fat burning foods combined with daily exercise and cardio.
