Tuesday 10/12/10 - In Control

It seems that I have finally gotten control over my eating with Weight Watchers.  I thought about this on my way to work as I was eating my breakfast.  Which by the way consisted of a toasted bagel thin with 1 tbs peanut butter and 3 pieces of turkey bacon.  I found a turkey bacon made by Oscar Mayer that only has 2 points for 3 pieces.  This was a very filling breakfast and I was satisfied and full.  I ate an apple about 8:30 and a cup of watermelon just now for my morning snack.  I try and eat something about every two hours and this seems to keep my energy level up and keeps me from pigging out. 

Lord knows that I have tried every diet known to man kind.  I have done diet pills and soup diets.  I guess I was always looking for the over night cure and there is not one.  I came to realize that no one can do this for me.  Weight Watchers is not just a diet for me anymore it is my way of life.  I will have to do this the rest of my life, because I have an eating problem.  I know this and accept it, but I will no longer let that eating problem control me or my life.   So I write in my journal and I weight every day and I measure everything that goes into my mouth.  It is no longer a hassle, but a habit.   Lets hope this weeks weigh in reflects it this week. 

Now for the exercise and the fact that I am not getting enough of it.  I went home yesterday and walked up and down my driveway 3 times.  I know that does not sound like a lot, but my driveway is 1150 feet long so I walked 6900 feet.  It took me about 20 minutes and then I cooked supper and got on the wii for 30 min.  Hopefully I can keep this up and get this to also become a habit for me.  We will have to see with my work hours being so crazy if I can keep it up.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Here is yesterday's food journal and I will be posting a new receipe on my blog this weekend so look for it.   Have a great day and I am going to go and read some posts..
