hello there loyal reader peoples. how the heck are you on this lovely but cold march afternoon?
me? well, thanks for asking. i'm frustrated.
i am still doing the weight watchers thing and am glad i have it as my guide. but for some reason, i seem to be sabotaging myself lately. wtf is up with that? let me explain.
up until now, i have been fantastic about being within my points and all that. but these last few weeks, i have not eaten as well and i know fully well that i am doing it. i'll start off well, but then have a snack attack and eat a bunch of stuff that is so NOT part of the menu. and then i feel like shit after i do it. yet i will go and do it again at a later time or another day.
then i sit there and try to analyze myself and figure out what is causing me to do this. my answer so far is emotional. of course, the job sucks. i've gone off the pill and my hormones seem to be a bit wacky as they are adjusting. if i am reading my body signs correctly, i may be close to getting my first period off the pill (so not looking forward to that). i have also been more tired and less organized when it comes to getting meals together for work and having the right snacks on hand.
so, i've figured that i need to get more organized and prep meals and snacks during the week for work. i also need to have some idea of what i am going to make for dinner for myself each night. it just gets so hard when i'm exhausted and would rather take the easy way out so that i can either sleep a few more minutes in the morning or go to bed a few minutes earlier in the evening. then there's the fact that my brain shuts off as soon as my ass hits the couch around 6 pm.
yeah, so being more organized. i can work on that. but does anyone out there have suggestions for stopping the sabotage snack attacks? i can be totally not hungry, but just feel this urge to snack on something......and i give in. it's like i HAVE to have it. so there's that strange craving, then the indulgence and then the guilt. yet, i still eat it. HELP!

Toasted whole wheat pita with hummus. It tastes like a total indulgence - SO good! It's super quick too - just pop a pita in the toaster, then dip. If you have some extra time, toss on some peppers, tomatoes, and/or avocado - but if you just want something NOW that doesn't feel healthy (but is!) just go with the toasted pita and hummus.
I say don't stop the snack attacks, just eat pita and hummus when you get them. I don't know the point system with weight watchers, but perhaps tortilla chips would work too - the ones with 3 ingredients: corn, oil, salt.
Sorry - that's really all the advice I have.
