A somewhat successful weekend...

So as you all know, I ventured home to NE Iowa this weekend and didn't do too bad with my eating. Usually I snack waaaaaaay too much. Instead of salty chips, I had popcorn with my family. I did have a handful of Cheetos too but its better than eating half a bag. I did eat out more than usual but I monitored myself and didn't over do anything. I even went to a buffet and didn't gorge myself. I only had two plates and made sure that I visited the salad bar first to eat a bunch of lettuce. I listened to my hunger and stopped before I felt horrible. I went out with my sister too and tried to watch how much I ate. I admit it was tough though because I was starved by the time I got to Cedar Falls. I got a salad because my conscience told me too. However, I didn't get the healthiest salad....something tells me that fried chicken on top isn't great for calorie intake.

Listening to my hunger has really worked today. I was home a lot (thanks to my apartment maintenance this morning) and kept wanting to migrate to the kitchen to snack. Every time I found myself in there, I questioned if I was actually hungry. Most of the time I wasn't so my got my caboose out of the kitchen quick. I could have easily ate a day's worth of calories by snacking all morning. Thank god I didn't!.

I will be going to Weight Watchers on Thursday morning. So far my schedule permits it and I feel really determined to get that started. Anyway, my day is about to get busier so I better sign off.

Kudos, as usual. I'm excited to go grocery shopping, if I find the time, to get some healthy food. I got rid of most of the unhealthy food in my apt. So yea. Good job in listening to yourself when telling yourself you weren't really hungry. *Applause* Good luck with the rest of the week!
