Toni-Ann -- that sounds like a good day!

 

[CdnBuzzFan]

I honestly think Chocolate should be a food group - I love my chocolate too - can't keep it in the house, I even eat the chocolate chips in the pantry

Lately I too have considered skipping my weigh ins, but somehow I still go and face the scale as ugly as it is - I'm hoping for a lose this week to make up for my 2 previous gains. I guess it's better to face the music, than not know the truth!!

Hope you have a great day, sounds like its going well so far!

Oh, I had forgotten about the chocolate chips! I could have eaten those too! I have semi-sweet, chips & chunks, white, mint, milk chocolate, butterscotch and peanut butter chips in my cupboard! What a feast that would have been.

I know I should have weighed in but I was afraid that seeing the damage I had done would have been enough to make me keep eating. I felt the best way to get back on track was to start over like nothing had happen. I like Wednesdays. It's a new beginning for me, the start of a new eating week and I didn't want anything to spoil it for me this week. So far, so good.

It seems to me that if you think about why you're doing something (or not, as the case may be), you're making a rationale decision for yourself. It's sort of the same thing with actually thinking about what you're eating. Good decision for you.

Toni-Ann, your plan for eating today looks great. You've inspired me to think about my whole day a little better. Right now I have a standard breakfast and lunch, but my eating gets out of whack when I get home after work. If I planned it out in the morning -- like you did -- I'd probably do better because there wouldn't be any thinking involved at the end of the work day. Thanks for posting your 29 point day!

Another great looking day, Toni-Ann. I like how you've included snacks and dessert. Being prepared should help you stay motivated and organized and keep the impulse eating under control. How did your plan work out for you yesterday?

Perfect because I planned out EVERYTHING, there was no mindless eating.

I'm curious to see how this "Wendie Plan" (having some high point days and some low point days) effects the scale.

 

[BabyTigger99]

If anyone is interested, I started a journal on the WISH Journals sections. Any input is appreciated!!

I've done the "Wendie plan" and it worked out great for me...hope it does for you also!!

I love it when you post your daily meals! It always inspires me to stick to the plan and track my PPV too. thanks!

went to Target yesterday to pick up some things for our trip to WDW next week and I tried on a pair of shorts. I picked the larger of the 2 sizes I can fluctuate between and they were too tight Granted I was bloated yesterday, but man!

I think it was the kick in the butt I needed to get back in control(hopefully!!)

Thanks for posting - I love to see what over people eat - we need to do more of this.

Do you know that 1/2 of egg beaters is only 1 point as well???

Great job and great attitude - erase the mistakes of the past and start out fresh!!

PS. - sorry I reminded you about the chocolate chips - I add pb to mine

I think we need a "kick in the butt" smiley on here (lord knows I need it) - keep that picture of the shorts in your mind - it will motivate you to stay on track. I have a cute summer skirt hanging on my closet door - it is a size 12 and I'm in a 16 - I am determined to wear it by the end of the summer

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who skips meetings sometimes. I *try* not to because I always feel more energized and motivated after the meeting even if I have gained weight. For me, it's often better just to take my lumps and go back to it recommitted.

I've done the "Wendie plan" and it worked out great for me...hope it does for you also!!

I just can't plan my meals that far in advance to try to eat so many points on my day and so many points on another day. I wonder if the real success in the "Wendie plan" is ... well ... the planning.

yes, for me, the part that made a big difference was actually counting and sticking to the points each day, whether it was a "big" point day or a "low" point day, at the end of the week, I didn't go over the weekly points allowance. I liked the varying of the points; it helped me to not feel deprived if I could actually indulge a little on my "high" point days

 

[mrzrich]

I have to say sitting down and really planning what I will eat ahead of time is really forcing me to look at my menu and helping me to get those good health guidelines in. I looked at what I typed this morning and didn't see 2 dairy servings. So instead of the WW Ice cream treat I had a cup of FF milk.
