Sisters Getting Slim

One BIG reason I have gotten to where I am weight-wise is because I NEVER let myself get hungry.  The past couple of days, I have felt hunger again.  Funny enough, it’s been so long since I’ve experienced real hunger that I couldn’t figure out why my stomach was cramping up….it wasn’t cramping up, it was hunger. Honestly, I think learning to recognize hunger and satisfaction is a big key to successful weight loss.  I saw on Oprah (where else?!) that an effective means of losing weight for many people is to go to bed slightly hungry.  Back in the day when I was a size 4, I went to bed a little hungry almost every night.  I totally think that was a big reason why I was able to keep the weight off.  Going to bed full — the kind of full where you are *still* full the next morning — spells disaster when it comes to losing weight, in my experience at least.

Here’s how today went:

coffee, yogurt, cereal, blueberries — 4 Pts
mini bagel and peanut butter — 7 Pts
South Beach diet pizza — 7 Pts
M&Ms — 7 Pts
Tall NF latte — 2 Pts
Run 2.5 miles — 3 APs
Pita chips — 5 Pts
brussel sprouts, lean pocket — 7 Pts
30 Day Shred — 2 APs

Total: 39 - 5 APs = 34 Pts

I’m sure the question you’re asking is “how the heck was she hungry after eating all of that food?!”  I think it’s because of those 12 points of JUNK I had between the M&Ms and the pita chips.  I’ve gotta get rid of that junk and replace it with more satisfying, filling, less sugary/carb-laden food.  I’m happy overall with today though!
