I overdid it on the bread today, and I feel like I ate a TON, but I'm within my "points" range, and don't actually NEED to lose weight, so whatever.
By the way, if I see it and it has sugar in it, I will eat it. I have to pour water on things so I won't eat them!! Weird, I know. I was given a box of chocolates for my birthday, and I promptly ate 4--then took them home and ran them under water so I wouldn't polish off the rest. I know this sounds insane, but it is the only way to stop myself. I would dig them out of the trash, I'm ashamed to say!
So water is good for me for more than just it's hydrating benefits! ;-) (Please note that I am not so extreme that I think I can't have some chocolate every now and then--BUT I cannot stop at a moderate amount, so it is best not to have any junk around.)
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: 1/2 pita w 1/3 c. egg substitute, 2 Tbs mozzarella and some salsa, stuck it in the toaster oven--YUM (4 pts)
Lunch: 1 apple and 1 c. artichoke and pasta salad (has artichokes, spinach, tomatoes and pasta)(4 pts)
snack: 1/2 pita w/ some spaghetti sauce, 2 Tbs mozarella, 1 oz shredded chicken breast, a few olive slices and sundried tomatoes (about 4 1/2 pts)
dinner: 1 serving weight watchers beef stew (carrots, celery, green beans, tomatoes, and beef)(6pts)
1 cup spinach, 1/2 tomato and 2 tsp. Gingerly dressing
snack: 1/2 cup fat free pudding (1 pt)
1/2 pita with 2 tsp pb&j (3 pts)
Yugh. That is not a typical day for me. I usually have grape nuts for breakfast with fruit and skim milk, usually salad with pita and chicken or tuna for lunch, always an apple or other fruit, dinner I almost always have more veggies than that. I also usually don't do 86 pitas in one day!!
I like to inclued lots of beans, veggies, fruit (but I like summer fruits so much more than apples and oranges!!). My biggest downfall is ice cream and eating out, and I've really cut way back. I am really trying to limit my portion sizes of everything
