Sorry, I lied....

Ha Ha, well I decided to make one more post today but I'm going to make it more personal. So, I have been trying really hard to stick to Weight Watchers and go to the gym consistently but I didn't do that great last week and this week is going better but still not perfect. I'm really hoping that combining what I'm already doing and what I'm going to learn from this book will finally help me become healthy emotionally and physically and finally hit my goal weight! But, I decided to talk about a realization I had about portion size. So, last night I was helping my mom make spaghetti for the family and I was being really good and measuring everything out so that I could count my WW points, and I was really surprised to find out that the noodles were three points for two ounces, which when reading the box seemed like plenty but when I actually put the noodles on the scale I realized that it was smaller than I would have ever guessed, so I decided to put a little more in there and just add some points. Then I found as I was eating the spaghetti when I had the meat and the sauce on there I couldn't eat all of it....I remembered back to the time when I would have eaten about 4 or more times then what I had portioned for myself and then just keep on going back for more. It made me realize that I really need to be careful about portion sizes. After reading in my book about how my brain really doesn't know when to tell me to stop I need to make sure that i have the right amount on my plate to begin with and I think that simple little action will help a lot :D I hope you are all enjoying my posts and if not I'm enjoying writing them so that's all that matters ha ha!
