Down we go...

I went to my Weight Watchers meeting today. I'm down another 3.2 pounds!! I'm so happy! I've noticed that my jeans are feeling a little less tight. I'm feeling like I have some more energy (well yesterday and today. Wednesday I slept all day catching up!) and I feel really serious about this plan! I'm loving it!

There was one day this week where I couldn't get my fill of anything. I've noticed that if I don't get a mid morning snack, I eat like a fiend in the evening. So, that mid morning snack is IMPORTANT!!! And it doesn't have to be something too substantial. A yogurt, an apple, a banana, all will satisfy that need and then I don't eat so much at night. Yes, I know I lost even with my hungry day but I attribute that to not having "my" kind of sweets in the house. I had only Weight Watcher friendly snacks. So even if I ate 2 packages of 100 Calorie Hostess Cupcakes, it was better than eating a 1/2 a pan of brownies. Which, by the way, are my FAAAAAVVVVVVVOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIITTTTTEEEEE! I LOVE Brownies. Chocolate, ooey, gooey, warm brownies. Yum! But they are a red light food. I won't even buy the Weight Watcher Brownies or the Little Debbie/Hostess 100 Calorie brownies. Nope. Not on the plan ...yet. I love them too much. It's probably like crack to an addict - I need my fix once I've had the first bite. And once the first bite is over, I need another and another. OK, I used that example but - just for the record, I know no one on crack, I'm just taking that example from what I see on TV. Anyhow, before I go on drooling...

We talked about what types of food we eat during those 'bad' moods in class today.

Lonely/Sad/Depressed = Chocolate/Ice Cream
Bored = Chips
Stressed = Fast Food

This has just put the hammer in the coffin for me. I'm never bored. Oh sure I eat chips but I hardly ever reach for those when I'm scouring the house for something to eat. Chocolate, YES! And just last weekend, I was stressed out. Getting out of work late, needing to be somewhere quick and what did I do - ran to Wendy's! Yup. So I guess what she says is true. Interesting isn't it. I'm keeping this on my blog for later reference. Great information!

Sunday, I'm walking in a Heart Walk. I'll let you know how it goes. We still haven't decided if we are doing the 5 mile walk or the 2 mile stroll. We'll see...
