My first day was rough. I remember now why I wasn’t making an effort before. I feel like I pay so much more attention to food when I am counting points. I am eating more food in total I think, but I’m even hungrier than ever. Looking up recipes online to make a grocery list is torture, even though I just ate. It’s strange how being in better control of myself tends to make me feel very weak willed. I used every last point..and I was so tempted to grab a beer out of the fridge after my they were all spent, but I prevailed. I also managed to avoid the pizza staring at me on top of the oven that my kids and husband ate. (I had soup & crackers) :(

Today I’m going to try to keep busy and get out of the house for a bit to try to distract myself from visions of sugarplums. We’ll see if it helps. We’re doing some food shopping tonight, but I’m a little bit frustrated because I need to find things that are quick and don’t take a ton of prep since my kids are constantly in my face in the kitchen. My husband does most of the cooking here, but he is now working mostly 12 hour days. Guess I better learn how to cook since he hates the boxed food that I am famous for throwing together, not that any of it is really point friendly anyway. *Sigh*
