Where is my willpower?
I hit the door this afternoon starving! But I forced away any binging and started on Tom’s supper. He has been begging me for a big ol pot of homemade veggie beef soup. So I started on it to occupy myself. I cant stand the stuff, can you believe that? I know I could eat a ton of it and still be eating low points but its just not for me. I’m not a huge veggie fan to start off with but when they are all mixed up together like that, it just yucks me out!
So I finally settled on a 2 point 100 calorie snack pack of Lays crackers. The overpowering craving to eat everything in sight has passed…for now. Wonder why certain days are such a struggle? I am even trying to incorporate the new filling foods into my diet but it seems like that makes me more hungry. Does anyone else find when they up their intake of fiber it increases their appetite? I can eat a bag of popcorn and be starving an hour later, I mean literally hear my stomach growling. I dont get it. I ate brocolli with both my breakfast and lunch today and was hungrier than a bear by 4 pm. I wont be doing that tomorrow.
I am gonna attempt to get on my exericse bike tonight. I just hate that thing! But my elliptical is squeaking like crazy and I hate to use it uless I am home alone. Tom is gonna have to take it apart again and find the joint making the noise. I know you have to grease them as you go along but it gets to be a hassle.
I really need to quit being negative. I think I will be ok once I eat. Hunger makes ya mean I think!
I think my willpwer has returned…I guess I just needed to bitch for awhile~

Glad you have somewhere to let it all out . . . I have found that with my increase of fiber I have to increase protien, and even the healthy fats to keep myself full. I find that a single egg with low cal toast in the morning keeps me full for a long time. Just a thought . . . I know it is a struggle. Keep up the good work!
Ha Ha Ha. My sister is a BEAR when she is hungry. Whenever she is super crabby, I ask her, have you eaten cause I think your blood sugar drop is causing you to be a super beepppppppp! Hee Hee Hee. Hope you ate so you feel better
Can you send some of that soup this way? LOL! I made a huge pot of veggie soup last week and was the only one who would eat it. If it doesn’t have meat, my hubby won’t touch it.
I get crabby when I’m hungry too. You didn’t really sound negative to me, just needing to vent a little. Oh, and I don’t like the bike either. It hurts my butt.
Hunger makes me mean…and unable to think clearly! I think there are certain high fiber foods that last longer than others for me. Sometimes honestly…I think it just depends on the day.
Good for you on not giving into the hunger in a bad way!
Thank you guys! Glad to hear I am not the only one who gets a little cranky (see I didnt say bear LOL!) Zilki, thats funny that you mention eggs and toast, that is what I eat for breakfast everyday! Two pieces of lite-high fiber toast and 1/2 cup eggbeaters. And it keeps me happy until lunch.
LissyKeeper, come on over…in fact you all come over for soup if you want. I have way too much left over!!
