I am still trying to get a hang of Weight Watchers and what is worth what. Here's what I've learned this week... if you bite it write it. Sounds simple right? I was biting a lot and eating a good 300-500 extra calories a day that I didn't even realize I was consuming. I'd grab a handful of veggie straw chips (they are made from veggies they must be better than eating salt and vinegar potato chips), a few crackers, a cookie, a Starbucks venti latte, a few left over french fries, etc. And before I knew it I had eaten my days allotment of point and calories in junk. I was still hungry and unsatisfied.
The invention of the iPhone has saved me with my food journal. I have the Weight Watchers app downloaded and I document all day. If you are looking to document with out joining WW there's a My Fitness Pal app that also keeps track of your daily food intake, there's SparkPeople, and there's the old fashioned pen and paper way. You have to find what works for you and do it. Take a week to write down what you eat you will be shocked at the end to see how much you do consume.
This week I lost 1 pound. And while I was hoping for more a pound is a pound and a loss is a loss.
