Re: Re: Day 2/anne

[Guest guest]

To be honest, I think that you may be over thinking this whole thing and making

more work for yourself.

Eat from the allowed foods list and have all the veggies you want/need to make

you satisfied...not full.

Are you getting in 64 ounces of water?

Re: Day 2/anne

Well-- that makes TWO OF YOU who are saying the same thing. So maybe you're

right.

I felt full when I finished eating the various meals that I ate yesterday.

it's just that I got

hungier faster afterwards than I had been before. OR OR OR OR OR -- OR --

maybe

BEFORE I could just go grab a hunk of bread, or some chips, or crackers, or

something and

eat a few, and that would tide me over to the next meal. In Phase 1, the

snacks cannot be

carbs, so that means I either have to WORK (slicing, cutting, reaching in the

vegetable bin

and washing something) to eat something healthy (I cannot even grab a few

carrots!!!!)(Do

you detect a " poor me " tone here?), or else eat more protein, which, of

course, comes in

various forms, some of which are easier to grab and eat than others.

I made beef jerky for my son and thought THAT might make a snack ,but then

read that

you can't eat it because it has too many sugars. SUGARS???????? Does meat

have SUGAR in

it??? I sure don't add any to the recipe. Just a little garlic salt and some

peppers and

spices and things.

Maybe I am still in the WW mode where you can eat only so many points. I

am now used

to trying to watch portions (with the exception of veggies) and keep the

points down. I

can't believe SBD allows you to pig out.

I honestly felt FULL after eating what I ate. But then later got hungry,

which is unusual

considering I was also eating protein.

Thanks for the response, ann--
