It's really tough, this "dieting" thing. Ok, I'm not really dieting, I'm making a lifestyle change. I really am. It has come down to a necessity to improve my health. Now. Before it's too late. But darnit, this is hard! I'm obsessed with food. I think about food from the time I get up in the morning until I go to bed ... even when I've gone to bed if my tummy is talking to me saying "FEED ME WOMAN" I find myself thinking about what I can eat for breakfast. Pathetic, I know. At least I've never gotten up in the middle of the night to raid the refrigerator, I like my sleep too much ... but if I ever start sleep-walking, there could be a MAJOR problem ...
I've gone from eating enough food to fill an aircraft carrier to barely eating enough to keep a fly alive. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but I'm sure you get the point. I'm hungry! My WW pocket guide states that I need to eat more "filling foods" ... foods that keep me feeling fuller and satisfied longer. And guess what 3 are on that list? Asparagus, beets and wax beans ... my 3 biggest mortal enemies as I stated in last week's blog. Further investigation into the "filling foods list" does supply some good news ... apples! bananas! skim milk! sirloin steak! I just need to make a conscious effort, when I need to snack, to snack only on these "filling" foods ... and continue to add them to my meals so I feel less hungry.
So my WW pocket guide has become my BFF since Saturday's meeting. My BFF with my FFL to keep me from EBS (my bestest friend forever with my filling foods list to keep me from eating bad stuff) Man, I need to get out more ... WAY more ...
Thanks for reading!
