It has been 3 months since beginning Weight Watchers, and so far I have lost 14 lbs. I must say as time has gone on, it is harder now to keep up with the points. I started off just eating a few things all the time, but then one of those things (frozen egg rolls) became a highly sought after item, and I pretty much haven't had them for a couple of weeks, and may not have them again. I have found that salsa and small round Tostitos corn chips is a very tasty and low points snack. Also I try to limit the amount of breads, starches, and chocolates I eat.
Yes! Chocolates had been a favorite staple in my diet from Thanksgiving through Christmas, thus I got to be where I was by January. Although I am not giving them up completely, I'm just eating less, and unfortunately, much less. A few times I have made my own chocolate when we didn't have any in the house. Sometimes it tasted better than others, but to go to all that work just for a little snack really keeps you from doing it all the time. Also I would use Splenda when I made it, usually along with less sugar. That helps, too.
For breakfast I usually have a banana and a couple cups of foo-foo coffee. For those of you who don't know about foo-foo coffee, I'll tell you it's not the black kind. I like it with vanilla and hazelnut creamer, which is sadly high in points. I sometimes like it black, but it just tastes better with sweet flavors.
Well, I'm about half way to where I want to be, weight-wise, so I'll openly share this with the whole world as a type of accountability to keep me sticking with my plan. Over and out.
