GRAZING- ( moo! )

I am grazing like a cow. Eating every hour or hour and half...just mindless snacking. No real substance. Popcorn...crackers....s/f ice-cream. Nothing earthshaking but stupid stuff- like what got me into trouble before. I'm gonna have to resolve in addition to getting into an exercise program..to start charting again what I am eating, and paying more attention to things like...oh yeah....what was that again??? Hm...Protein??? And maybe Water??? What a concept! Anyway Happy New Year my July Buddies- Gotta go watch to ball drop. Marcy -72

Hi Marcy - you are not alone. I think a lot of us got into bad habits during the holidays. Many of us have decided to 'recommit' to our WLS guidelines - focusing on protein, water and exercise. There is a thread every day to ask what you ate the day before. I have been logging everything onto fitday.com. It really helps to keep me honest and more importantly, to give me an idea of where I am at as far as protein, fluids and carbs during the day. Why not join us - we are all here to get and give support!! PS - I also found that the more carbs and sugar I ate, the more I wanted. It took at couple of days without those things to lose the cravings..... Hugs and Happy New Year, Nancy -84

I've been doing the same thing. Definitely getting back on track now that it's the new year. So far, today has been good. Too bad it's only 9am! Pamela -74
