I was downright hungry ... no, famished before my day was done and I didn't have any "points" left in my day's allowance ("points" are assigned to each food or beverage ... you only get a set number per day); I did have "spare" points for the the week ("flexible points" you can use throughout the curse of the week), but I am saving those for party. So, I had to take a look over my food diary to find out what went wrong ...
And it's pretty clear where my error lies: I'm not eating anything that will keep those hunger pangs at bay! One of the cool things about the new program is that you are provided with a list of certain foods that are filling. Those foods are often very low in points, but high in feel-full factor, meaning when you eat them, then you won't be reaching for a snack within moments because they stick to your ribs.
I added some of those specified foods to my online diary and voila -- a special symbol appeared next to them to indicate that they were a filling food. As I looked over my first day's diary, I soon discovered that not one food that I had selected for myself that day was a filling food!
I am embarking on day three with a mission to work in as many filling foods into my day as possible and I'm going to see if that makes a difference. Here's hoping. I'm starting to envision that little orange monster from the Weight Watchers commercials is right behind me with a bowl of ice cream.
