Scale Woes....

So whose scale do you go by? Yours or the doctors? The doctor's scale says I am three pounds lighter than my home scale, obviously I'd love to believe that scale, but I am not going back to the doctor just to get weighed. (BTW, I am a human again...6 week check up went good! And I got the official go ahead to....start weight watchers, thought I was going to say something else, didn't you!) Any who....I did start WW on Monday and I have had a heck of a time staying on it! I am so frustrated! I hate dieting! I am constantly hungry as soon as the words dieting enter my head, I know it's just a mental tactic to sabotage myself but I don't know how to get past it. Literally I can't stop thinking about food. Every morning I think, okay I am going to try this again today, but by lunch I've blown it and am frustrated and STILL starving! How is this possible? I think I am going to go duct tape my mouth closed...I'll let you know if it works!

    Tammy - Thanks for sharing your struggles :) I'll tell you one thing that works for me when I struggle in the morning - I eat oatmeal or cream of wheat (sweetened with sugar-free maple syrup and butter-buds). It sticks to my stomach and makes me feel full for a long time. Don't lose the faith - you can do it :)

    When I am nursing, I am always hungry too. I think you need to start off with a good breakfast like Carole said. I like 2 egg whites with salsa and a bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon and splenda. On WW you should have plenty of points to have healthy snacks. I know they are expensive but maybe you should try some of WW desserts. If you are feeling deprived then you won't succeed. Treat yourself with healthy treats. I love Fiber One bars. 2 points Make sure you drink all your water too! We are all behind you!

    make sure to eat snacks...but not too many. I do two snacks a day either fruit or a healthy snack bar. you just have to tell your brain that you are not hungry. you can do this tam. Youve got a great start cause you just had a baby. Drink so much water you dont even know what to do k? :)
