LOL okay still not sure how to post and fix my pictures but here are 3 more meals that are all yummy and quick n easy. The top picture is whole grain pasta w/homemade spaghetti sauce w/turkey added, total of 7.5 pts. The second pic is a lean cheeseburger made with a lean ground beef patty, 2% american cheese and an Oroweat Sandwich Thin. Plus RF Pringles for a total of 10 pts. The last is a real surprise. I found boneless skinless GRILLED chicken breasts at Jack in the Box and I added the rice and broccoli for a total count of 9 pts. These are all meals that I will frequent again and I hope they will help me be successful on my journey.
Now onto my thought for the day. Size and portion control are very, very important. I am finally realizing and ACCEPTING that. When I did WW before, I really thought I was being diligent in everything I did because I always wanted to be successful, but now I know different. Its crazy to think about how off my 1/4 cup of grated cheese was compared to what it really should have looked like! I'm not kidding, you should see how much spaghetti I can cram into a 1 cup measuring cup! lol I just recently noticed how food packaging almost always lists not only the size in cups or oz, but it also gives the serving size in grams and that is a much more accurate way to weigh your food. I have also started paying attention to the sizes of my portions when I eat elsewhere and I think that has helped me too. For example, my meat serving size should be about the size of a deck of cards and a tennis ball is about the size of a cup. I have found that the better I learn this, the easier it will be to stay on program. Its like who was I kidding when I was measuring my old way? The scale knew and it wasnt a friend of mine, it told the truth! all the time! Its crazy because I can think back when I would weigh in and be shocked and I mean shocked that I didnt lose! Now looking back at all the ways I used to try and cheat the system, its no wonder I didnt gain weight! Just silly. Now with all the weighing and measuring and being truthful, I am hoping for a much more successful journey.
