I’m more positive right now. Last week I made the classic mistake. I started restricting myself too much on Monday. Instead of following weight watchers points, which had been working well enough, I was eating egg whites, spinach salads, and broccoli only. So sure enough- by Wednesday I was in full binge mode which lasted through Friday. AHH why do I do the same thing over and over and expect different results? Isn’t that the definition of insanity!?

This is my second binge-free day and I am optimistic there will be more. As much as I want to lose weight quickly- I have to realize the only way I can stick with anything is not feeling constantly deprived. I have bigger problems right now than losing weight. I want to feel healthy, be in shape, and feel like I am in control of myself.

Today I ate:

  • b: oatmeal with almonds and peanut butter
  • little piece of biscotti with coffee
  • l: piece of cajon chicken breast, rice pilaf, mozz and tomato, and honeydew
  • apple and peanut butter
  • d: bowl of cereal, lots of brussel sprouts (weird dinner I know but it’s what I was craving!)

So I am trying very hard to honor my hunger and think carefully about what it is I want before I eat it! Please let this control last! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
