Hi Everyone,
I'm keeping track of the FIBER I eat today. I'm curious after our Thursday meeting just how much FIBER I eat in a day. I'm not changing anything, just eating what I normally would. I hope my experiment gives you some idea what it takes to eat at least 25 grams of fiber per day. I eat so much more fiber than I ever have. since starting on WW. I hardly ever feel real hungry or deprived. A lot of days (if I'm not eating from emotions) I 'm having trouble eating all my points because I feel full for so much longer. Do I still have days that I crave Lays or a candy bar, Yes,Yes and yes. Some days I cave into those craving or emotions but as my journey continues so does my resolve to make better choices for ME
As of my Thursday weigh in I have now lost 75 lbs. I am going to go celebrate with a new WW friend on Monday. Deb and I are going to meet, go for a 30-45 minute walk, go to a WW meeting and then out for a delicious lunch. I can't convey to you how wonderful it is to make exercise, WW meetings, and being with friends more important than going out to eat.
My life has changed so much since I started this journey August 5th, 2010. I know I will always have a struggle with food. I also know I now have the tools, friends, support, understanding and WW to give me guidance when I am struggling. Thank you all so much for allowing me to share this wonderful New Life!!! I hope this blog helps all of you in some way, because I just want to give back for all that you have given me.
The Fiber counts below are as close as I could get with the help of some online web sites. The Points were figured on WW e-tools.
