Well day 1 is nearing it's end. I technically still have 13 points left, but I have dedicated 8 of those to a cupcake that I made today! However, evenings are the hardest time for me! I just always feel hungry, and munchy and just like I need SOMETHING. But with the new points plus plan, all fruit is free! 0 points!! So I will have my cupcake, then use up the other 5 points on something (they say you should use all of your points everyday), then I have some watermelon if I "need" something later! Feeling good and proud of my day 1!!
Oh, I did take some "before" pictures yesterday. But I don't really want to post those until I have a smaller one to compare it to. I am not quite ready for that. But I look forward to being ready for that!! Next week I am going to my mom's house. So hoping that I can keep it together and do well! It is usually easier for me there because they don't snack in the evening so I don't usually either.
When I started my diet, the first week was definitely the hardest. I really had to fight "head-hunger"; once I got into the routine, it actually became easy (I'll be honest, I turned it into a game). I do try to snack on high-protein foods to fill myself up quicker (I'm a huge fan of peanuts, and my dietician is a big proponent of eggs). I'll be doing a bunch of protein shakes after my surgery - I'll let you know if they're any good. You can do it. I'm a little over 6 months in, and I'm done around 50 pounds. If you want some encouragement from someone who's been there/still there, please email me. :)
ReplyDeleteThat should be "DOWN around 50 pounds"...that's what I get for trying to multi-task. ;)
