So, I quit Weight Watchers for what I wanted to be a couple of months. But, that didn't pan out so well. Within the first 2 weeks of that, I noticed my shirts were getting tighter, and decided I wasn't having it. I've since joined back, but still gaining weight. I still couldn't figure out what it was that I was doing wrong.
This morning, I was eating my Fruit & Maple oatmeal with and Iced coffee from McDonalds, and started to feel sluggish, like I've been feeling lately. So, I decided to check out their website, and look at the nutritional info on both items. The oatmeal had 32g of sugar with the brown sugar (mind you, the healthy serving per day for adult women is 20g, which is equivalent to 5 teaspoons), 18g without. Then I checked out the coffee. I get the one with the sugar free vanilla syrup, and even tho it shows 0g of sugar, I'm still convinced they put it in there.
I've been addicted to sugary stuff for a while: chocolate, cookies, ice cream, etc. I know now that I really need to monitor my sugar intake now. The last thing I want is to end up with diabetes or worse. So here goes nothing!
