I survived the munchies!
Posted by Lois Anne on April 26th, 2008
I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days now, but I had that attack of the monthly munchies I talked about in my last post. Lately I’ve been just giving in, not counting the points, and just starting fresh the next day - or at least trying to. This time I counted my points, and only let myself pig out on low point foods - weight watchers ice cream sandwiches, etc. When all was said and done, I hadn’t used up my flex allowance for the week, and I didn’t feel like I was in a sugar coma the next day. In fact, the next 2 days I only used about half a flex point each day.
Maybe by giving in to full fat ice cream and potato chips I made myself crave those things for the next couple of days - ’cause eating crap tends to make me want more crap. By pigging out on the not so bad stuff, the munchies didn’t hang around and ruin a whole week for me this time. I only have one more day to get through before I start a new week, and I still have 5 flex points for tomorrow. That feels really great!
