Satisfaction

So, when dieting in the past I always felt dissatisfied and then I'd take a bite of something not on the diet and that's all it took -- I went hog wild.  One taste of something sweet was usually all it took.

So this time around, I'm surrounding myself with better options so I can be satisfied without going off my "diet".  Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches, Weight Watchers fudge popcycles, Weight Watchers deserts.  All favorites, really good tasting, and keys to keeping me satisfied.

I went out of town for business this week and was really worried that I'd have trouble.  So I brought bananas, celery sticks, and baby carrots for the ride and my time in the hotel.  Luckily so many people at the meeting were on Weight Watchers we made good choices for lunch and dinner.  But it didn't matter, I was counting points no matter what.

So, how did I do this week?  (drum roll please!)  Down another 2.2 pounds!!!

Weight:  246.6
Total loss: 8.4
Measurements: Waist 46.25 Hips 52  Thigh 31.50 Upper Arm 16  Dress Size 20
Mood: Feeling Good - motivated
Exercise: Not as much as I wanted, but I kept moving.

Another week gone and I'm doing good.  I'm looking ahead, trying to plan and make sure I have the right tools and foods with me to make sure I'm satisfied.  I have the biggest sweet tooth in the country and to me, having sweets on hand that are easy to count and still taste good--I'm golden.

How do you keep satisfied when you are dieting?  What keeps you on the right path?

Til next week - be healthy~
