Today was the first day since I started that I didn't have a good eating day. A friend of mine and I went down to the States, and having had only a yogurt all day, I was starving by 6pm. so, my friend and I went to a Mexican restaurant, and I had a veggie taco salad - made note of everything that was on my plate, ate it all plus an enormous margareta and it was awesome! However, when I got home and plugged everything into weight watchers, the outing cost me 41 points. My daily allowance is only 28! Luckily I only had a yogurt in the morning and I hadn't used hardly any of my weekly points allowance during the week this week.
Today, consequently, was the first day that I felt "full" since I went on the plan, and I have to say that the "full" feeling isn't as great as I remember. I didn't enjoy feeling bloated and stuffed afterwards. It was very uncomforatble. Before I started weight watchers I would eat until I could hardly walk I was so full, and now I can't understand why I would make myself so uncomforable from eating. It was a real eye opener today as my understanding of the phrase "eating to live, not living to eat" went to a whole new level.
I am always super jealous of my skiny friend who can eat mounds of sour cream and cheese and still stay a size 6! When I got home and entered my 41-point dinner, I ran to the gym and did 110 minutes of cardio with the help of my watch-a-movie-on-my-ipod-while-on-the-machine trick. I am determined more than ever to get below 220! Stepped on the scale when I got in and it showed 221!!! So close. Going to work extra hard to get rid of those last two pounds before the official weigh in on Monday. Better download some more movies on my ipod...
Hey. I'm just starting to read your blog (I love it, by the way). I noticed that this is the second time you said something about watching Skinny friends eat whatever they want. I had this issue to. So frustrating. But from the message boards on WW, I found two things people shared really helped me: 1) just because your skinny, doesn't mean your body on the inside is healthy...hello heart disease. 2) This isn't her battle...This is my battle, and it must be done by me and can only be done in my own way.
