Simply Filling/Core - I Learned Something Last Night

Yesterday I wanted to cook some SF/FF pudding for dessert. But told myself no because I didn't want to make a habit of it. So I didn't make it. Well as I sat and watched tv in the evening (snack time on flex) I was craving something sweet. So I finally gave in and popped some popcorn...........Nope that didn't do it. So I had a bowl of shredded wheat.................Nope still munchy. So I finally went to bed to read so I wouldn't munch anymore.

I would have been so much better off making the dang pudding. I would of had it, been done and satisfied. Minus all the other stuff.

So guess I'll be cookin some puddin when I get home tonight :lol:

Shel: heya, just remember everyone's weight loss journey is filled with trial and error. It takes time to find the right balance so no worries, just say it was a learning experience.


Cheers!

I love those puddings too and try my best to be good when I make them. Next time you can always make some have little and then give the rest away.. my kids will eat it up faster than me so that helps. :)

Yeah, sometimes caving and having a limited amount of the thing you REALLY want is better than spending the night snacking on several OP foods and never feeling satisfied - been there - done that! :lol:

Oh I only eat 1 serving of it. I just didn't want to get into the habit of having them every night like I did on Flex when I would have a dessert every night. See when I was on flex I would always have 2-4 pts for a snack around 8:00 every night. After reading Core I figured well if I didn't "NEED" it then it's just a habit and you shouldn't have it.

But it's so much better to just have it than the 5 other things you have in it's place trying to make up for missing that snack.

I guess I discovered last night that I do "NEED" that night-time snack.
