Confessions of a Bulk Eater

Seriously, it’s time to buckle down. Time to stop screwing around, stop making excuses and just DO IT. I’ve sabatoged myself for almost 6 months now and it’s ridiculous! How many pounds could I have lost in that amount of time? I could have been to my goal by now.

Okay, enough looking back… time to start looking forward. I started again today. I have decided to do the Weight Watcher Core program. I’ve done it before and it does seem to work. There is no counting points, just basic “rules”. And you can eat as much as you want until you feel SATISFIED!! That’s the trick. I’ve done this before and gained weight, but I ate too much. It’s as much as you want until you are SATISFIED. So that’s what I did today… so far at least. I have awhile to go until I get to the end of the night.

Here’s the breakdown so far though:

Breakfast: mini shredded wheat cereal (NOT FROSTED) and f/f milk: all core. I didn’t even finish my cereal. I was still feeling full from last night’s slaughtering of the cow but had to eat before i left the house for work. I ate a few bites and was done. Didn’t push myself to finish the bowl.

Lunch: salad with lettuce, tomato, kidney beans, corn and fat free ranch dressing: all core.

Snack: pear - core

I’m doing okay so far. I have an hour and a half left before I leave work and that is usually the worst time. I am chewing gum though to try to keep the munchies away. I do have an Alternative Bagel in my drawer if I can’t hold out. It would only be 1 point. I MUST run when I get home, or at least while everyone else is eating dinner, since I didn’t go last night.

So I did it!! I stuck to plan ALL DAY and I ran. I came home and made dinner for the fam and when hubby got home, I hit the pavement. Then I ate when I got home. I sort of feel bad about doing that, but really, no matter when I decide to exercise, it’s never a good time. And I’m feeling like I’m not getting support from hubby because of it. He has never said anything, it’s just the vibe I pick up from him when I do go exercise. It’s always been like that. I’m like “Dude, your dinner is on the table.. what else do you want from me.” Ugh, men.

Snack when I got home: banana, 2 celery ribs

Dinner: Skillet Gardener’s Pie from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. If you are looking for something healthy and delicious for dinner, I wholeheartedly reccommend Susan’s site.
