Weighing days has been and gone, and I lost 3.3 lbs!!
Yesterday was a rubbish day, so by rights I should not be too happy. BUT all in all I am still struggling to get back on track. A friend of mine with a very sharp and analytical mind read my blog and indicates that I eat too little carbs, and there is to long a period between meals. As a reaction I start eating sweet things as my bloodsugar levels plummet.
Her advice is to eat some carbs in bewteen meals, small amounts, and as such keep my body happy and keep the cravings for sweets and food in control. Sound advice and of course something I KNOW. But after christmas am failing to apply!
Yesterday WW launches a new approach to the flex point system. Basically some food groups are now unlimited; meaning there is a fixed number of points designated to unlimited amounts of food. Be it though that I should eat till I am satisfied, NOT bloated. It applies to rice, potatoes, breakfast cereals (unsugared), lean meat, lean fish, shell fish, 0% curd and yoghurt.
It requires a slight change in thinking, because when have I eaten enough, and when am I stuffing myself. I need to eat slower to start withas the point of "enough" is only evident after 20 minutes. It will be interesting and scary to see how this will all work, and interesting week ahead. Where I am further seeking to regain control and apply a new system.

Hmmm... unlimited rice, potatoes and unsugared cereal??? That would send me into shock. Your friend is very wise. I have discovered that I feel much more satisfied and in control of my eating when I have a snack between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and a small one before bed. That's actually eating 6 times a day, which is really hard to get used to if you usually only eat once or twice (as I did). More evidence of how my own screwed up eating habits landed me in this pickle.
I have noticed that since adopting this new way of eating, the weight is coming off almost without trying. I think I may be onto something here...
Yes, eating slowly is a good idea because it is often hard for me too to know when I've had enough.
I really like weighing and measuring my food now because I don't have to worry about having too much and I'm getting use to how much is a healthy portion.
Looks as though your weight is moving down again. Congrats!!! Good luck with the new system.
