I never realized how poorly I ate and how I have developed the worst eating habits, regardless of my weight. I know I should have made the connection but I am really good at justifying my behavior to myself. No crisis of conscience for me when there is a brownie in my sights. This past week I have really adhered to the program and recorded everything I've eaten. I've also turned my food intake upside down - I now eat more vegetables than anything else (thanks to a visit to the Farmer's Market on Saturday). I'm trying hard to incorporate more fruit as well.
One of my worst traits is my quick submission to my cravings and weekends bring out the worst in me. I added as many vegetables as possible to my meals to fill me up but it was not easy. My saving grace is that I'm not a very picky eater, so the options available to me are varied. For example, I made a vegan burger for dinner, with red onion, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and bread and butter pickles. I use sandwich thins for the bread and I splurged with a teaspoon of mayo on the bread. Very filling meal and I still have a few points left to eat some yogurt and fruit or even to enjoy some Weight Watchers ice cream.
In order to keep myself busy, I started a new pair of socks - this time using a variegated yarn. It is so hard to find a pattern for variegated yarns because the changing colors can overwhelm most stitch patterns. I started the same sock at least four times, each time making it about 20 rounds before I decided I hated it. My knitting tends to be tight, and on top of knitting with small needles, projects that require you to knit into stitches more than once really have me pulling my hair out. I'm going to start again tonight.and this time I'm going with something very easy and simple and I'm going to jump up one needle size. Variegated is pretty but not as fun as a solid.
