first real "hungry day"
So today is the first day, since I have started on my serious journey, where I feel super hungry. Hungry that my planned meals/points don't seem to be filling me up. This is especially weird because my breakfast this morning was a raisin crunch kind of Kashi that has something like 11g of fiber! I should be filled up!
But I'm not letting this throw me off. I do believe in responding to real hunger - I mean, I'd already had 6 glasses of water, so I knew it wasn't thirst masking as hunger. So I rearranged. I had my afternoon 3 point snack at 11:30. Not much else I could do, short of feeling deprived and bitter.
I've lost 8.5 pounds in the last month and 10 total since earlier in the summer (I found where I had written down 230 from July - scary). I know I'm on the right path and it feels good. A little extra hunger is not going to push me off track. I'm about to lace up my sneakers and head out for a lunchtime walk.
Tomorrow I officially begin WW at Work and will have my first weight in on their scale - I'll be curious to see how close it is to my scale at home. Off I go - the fresh air is calling my name.
