I think yesterday went fairly well. I stayed within my points range, but at the end of the day I was still pretty hungry. I'm thinking I will adjust as I continue on the program, especially once I learn healthier, more high fiber choices that will stick with me longer.
This morning I looked through my information and had this breakfast, which i'm SO excited about:
2 packets instant, plain oatmeal (1 cup) = 3 points
1 tbsp blackberry jam in oatmeal = 1 point
3 egg whites, as an omelet = 1 point
2 slices of turkey = 0 points
1/4 cup mushrooms = 0 points
Total = 5 points
And I am completely satisfied right now. It was VERY yummy, filling, and I'm not left wanting more.
ME LIKEY! Let's see how today goes with better choices ;o)

I'm not sure how it works out point wise with weight watchers, but I found that if I ate every 3 hours (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner) I stayed full and didn't feel hungry throughout the day. My portions were smaller since I was eating more often and found myself full after one serving where I would eat at least 2 servings when I would eat before I started. If you want to read a good book that helped me and helps you get down to the root of over eating, Dr. Phil's book on weight loss is really good. I'll be rooting for you!
Theresa, that's a great idea. I've been finding (and have known for a few years), if i go too long without eating (usually longer than the 3 hours), I feel AWFUL! I can feel when my blood sugar starts to plummet and THAT'S when i make AWFUL choices! One of my friends who is also a nutrition consultant told me yesterday that even if i don't feel like i need a snack between breakfast and lunch, to still eat a small one to keep my blood sugar level. Makes so much sense too!
I love Dr. Phil so I will definitely check this book out! Thanks so much! And THANK YOU for your support!!
