"Not a lot of food" follow-up
OK,
After four days, I am nowhere near the allotted points yet, as I'm unwilling to start feeling deprived because honestly, it kicks up all sorts of unhealthy and wacky emotional stuff for me, and I end up eating more, not less. This has got to be fun, and feel good, or forget it, I'm better off not playing with dieting fire at all -- too dangerous, I don't want to get bigger! I'm really testing to see if this is something I can use to GENTLY and SLOWLY retrain myself, to be nicer to myself. I honestly have no clue about portion sizes, I can see that. People asked me to post my day's "menus", ha ha ha, I'm still just haphazardly grazing through what was already here (like 2 large Papa John's pizzas laying around from Friday night -- not a common event) and doing what I'd normally do, *but* keeping an eye on portions. As the days have gone by, I've been playing a little with the portions, paring them down to whatever "one" WW serving size is, and seeing when I feel hungry again. With that, here's a telling trend -- these are "Flex Points Spent" per day, from day one through today (if I just eat what I plan to eat): 26.5 (pizza) 21 (out with friends, ordered the duck) 16.5 12 I am about to go make my dinner, again, keeping the portions down, but eating what's here/what I want to eat. I'm VERY hungry, it's almost alarming, it's like I don't know what it feels like, ha ha ha. Hopefully dinner will be satisfying (steak, potatoes, corn) and I won't need a snack. Gotta go to the store and get some bananas and apples. :-) Slowly getting the point...
