Ouch.
It's only 10:40 am, and I've already eaten my breakfast and snacks. I never realised how filling yogurt was until today, and not having that as part of my morning routine. I've got the munchies something serious.
I've already had a Fiber Bar, an apple, banana, and my packet of 100 calorie sun chips that I was going to save for the afternoon. Oh well. Lunch isn't far off, and if I still feel like I need something there are always rice cake minis to munch on, instead of dipping into the wine gums and chocolate easter eggs currently in the candy dish on my desk. Oh, the temptation. :)
Chewing gum helps as well, and drinking water, but somedays you just...feel like you need to be snacking. It's odd. :)
Had a good weekend, however had pizza. I don't feel guilty. It was a nice treat, and I was really good all week and still had all my bonus points. No, I don't feel guilty. It's part of the lifestyle change, to learn to add some of the fun/delicious/fatty things (such as pizza) without overdoing it. And according to the scale this morning I didn't gain, but lost another pound from my weigh in three days ago.
I think this is what I like the most about weight watchers in comparison to, let's say Atkins of Jenny Craig. You actually learn something on weight watchers, you learn to change your lifestyle, you're not just on a diet, you're not eating nothing but protein, and avoiding carbs, or spending $ on pre packaged food, that the instant you stop buying the food, you revert back to your eating habits and gain the weight back. Weight Watchers is teaching me something, I guess is the bottom line, somethign that I wish I would've known a lot earlier, somethign I wish I would've been taught in school. But I also suppose, it wouldn't have been the right time in my life to CARE. I care now.
I keep seeing on the news, all this stuff about how you shoudl have a waistline (for females) less than 35 inches to avoid heart disease etc. Where do they come up with this stuff? Waist size is important, where you carry your body fat is important, sure, but isn't it more important to be fit, even if your waist migt be slightly more than 35 inches around? The scientific basis for that widely reported piece of 'fact' doesn't seem all that factual to me. I'm not taking it alltogether seriously, although I do want to ask my family doctor about it when I see her. But right now I'll put more stock in lowering my body weight, to get out of the 'obese' category (I hate that term..hate it. loathe it) and paying attention to my bodies needs. My waistline will figure itself out.
Hope every one had a good weekend.
