Surviving on peanut butter sandwiches has pretty much been the deal the last two weeks. They have satisfied my hunger and the unsatisfiable sweet tooth I’ve had since that chocolate cake. I’ve probably consumed more than a healthy share of it. Seriously, I polished off one container and working on another. The small ones though, if that makes it any better. Truth is, we’ve been a bit under the weather around the house and I haven’t felt like being bothered to cook.
I haven’t done a weight watchers update in a while. Probably to do with the fact that I’ve been living off of peanut butter, and of course other unmentionable things. I think I’ve lost my way on this journey. I had been trying to do so well and change our habits. I did, well kind of. I got caught up in the easy to grab and eat things. I found myself picking up sugar free/fat free things that I didn’t want to eat even before I started weight watchers. Remember I’ve talked about wanting us to have a more whole foods/real food diet in general and I sped off with convenience so fast that I failed to notice. I guess I didn’t notice because it wasn’t exactly like I pulled up to every fast food window type of convenience. However, I could have made better choices.
I should note that I have lost 18 pounds so far. Which I am so very happy with and is giving me the strength to keep going. I see that is is possible, it really does work, I feel better. I’ve just stalled the last two weeks with a -0.2 and +0.2, but I know why. I’m so happy they weren’t so much more with the amount of peanut butter I’ve wallowed in.
So to help me get back on track, I’ve started to re-read Real Food. It’s helping me to put my own goals back into perspective. I remember now why I didn’t want to have fat free, stripped from it’s orginial state food.
I may still have my beloved peanut butter sandwich from time to time. Just not every day.
