scale detox
Posted by gottahavefaith on April 13th, 2008
Not weighing myself is an odd experience, but I think this is good for me. The fact that stepping on the scale feels so tempting is evidence of why I need to do this. I need to get it through my head that I am not a number.
I’ve been eating well the past few days. Today I went to visit some friends out of town and ended up eating some cookies, but I didn’t binge, and I compensated with a light, healthy breakfast and lunch.
I have a new cereal find! I am typically very suspicious of cold cereal…it just doesn’t hold me as long as the cooked stuff. But sometimes it is nice to have a fast breakfast option for a hot day. My new stuff is Nature’s Path Flax Plus Multibran cereal. It’s tasty, high in fiber and low in calories. Plus, the addition of the flax seeds gives it a good dose of omega 3s. It does have some sugar in it, which normally makes me bypass cereal, but the overall sugar and carbohydrate content is pretty low. The fiber and fat seem to compensate for the sugar…this stuff holds me much longer than most breakfast cereals I’ve tried.
