Day 2 ... Maybe it is an emotional thing?
Ok here is day 2's journal
B: Chicken & Wild Rice Soup - I know its weird but i don't like breakfast food so I have to eat something right?? :) (2.5)
S: Banana (2)
L: Lean Cuisine Manicotti (5)
S: (12) Tostito Jalapeno Scoops (yum!) (3)
D: (1) WW Pita (2), 1/2C Tuna Salad (3.5) added some salad mix & balsamic vinegarette (1) ; Asparagus (0)
Total Points: 19 (wow didn't realize i was this low on points, oops!) ... had a glass of sweet tea (homemade) not sure how many points to count it as but i know its not 5 points worth, ha ha ... I am shocked that I ate only 19 points and I wasn't starving ... I almost caved and ate something small before bed but I didn't do it! Once again I stuck to my guns! ... woo hoo :)
getting a root canal this afternoon so not sure what I will have for dinner, depends on how sore my mouth is i guess, lol.
Ok, so to the emotional part - I did really good yesterday food wise but when I got home, DH and I were just not getting along, he was driving me crazy and all i wanted to do was EAT!! I went downstairs to do laundry and just get away for a few minutes and I was sitting there thinking, I just ate dinner so I'm not hungry but I want something to eat, I want that comfort of food and it was seriously just because I was peeved and not in a good mood - food makes you feel better right?!? ... Wow I had no idea that I used food as a "soother" ... I mean I know I eat it all the time just because - even when I'm not hungry but i didn't realize I used it to "make me feel better" ... and i am the one always saying my food addiction has nothing to do with emotions because i've had such a great life, lol ... i always thought i just love food! ... So as i noticed what was going on I went up stairs cleaned up the kitchen, had a small snack and then turned out all the lights in the kitchen and left the room for the night - still fighting urges until I went to bed! But I did it! ... I am trying not to eat after 7:00 pm because if not I would snack all night, so if i have a cut off point I think that will limit my mindless munching.
On a side note - has anyone had any "stomach reactions" to the FiberOne bars? I am trying to figure out if it was the FiberOne bar or the sugar free bar yesterday that put my stomach in knots! I had to leave work early because it was so bad ... I have a sensetive stomach so I really have to be careful - most sugar free products send me straight to the bathroom - TMI I know, sorry! :)
Have a great day everyone!

haha yeah, it's definitely the Fiber One bars. I used to LOVE them when I first started WW, but now I can't eat them. I do still eat the Fiber One cereal that doesn't seem to affect me in that way.
Great job at resisting the urges as well...wish I could say the same for myself!

My stomach just gets so bloated and feels like someone is blowing a balloon up in my stomach and then popping it (weird way of putting it I know.). I have to be careful and think ahead before I eat them. I have found that the target brand fiberone bars are not as bad on the stomach. I have no problem with the yogurt or cereal from fiber one but I do with those bars!
