After a year with no results and being unhappy I knew it was time to take action for my future |
I was searching for a way of eating that would allow me to eat a more balanced way of life. Something that would hold me accountable for how much I eat. Something that would allow me to have the occasional indulgence. Most importantly, I wanted something I could do forever. I know there will never come a time I don't have to watch how much or what I eat, but maybe there is a way to have it all and enjoy it and be healthy and lose weight.
I admit I am guilty of this when I deprive myself |
This is what my food selection for today looks like. So may delicious foods I can eat and enjoy And I still have 5 points left for dessert later if I want |
That was a little over a week ago, so how was the first week you are wondering... AMAZING! The phone app has made it so easy to track and check food points. Grocery shopping became more like a game, I walked around the aisles with the app and scanned bar codes to see how many points the food item was. The last week I have enjoyed, Morningstar Farms Chik patties, Sara Lee bread, Fiber One bars for dessert, and ground chicken in my delicious salads.
This was delicious! Eggo, chicken sausage, and egg whites |
So easy to make delicious and filling foods |
I had my first weigh-in this past Wednesday. I didn't think I lost anything with the yummy food I was eating, lack of exercise, and stressful weekend (more to come on that), but I did indeed have a loss of .6. I know it doesn't seem like much, but for someone who hasn't seen a loss in a long time and just spent the week enjoying food and not stressing, that loss was very exciting for me.
I will keep you updated of my Weight Watchers fun and promise to post all my yummy food finds.
This is a way of life, not a temporary diet!!
