OK, so just looking for the one epiphany, but the the plural scans better!
I am having breakfast issues: the issue being that I keep forgetting to have it - that's not good is it? Don't get me wrong, I mean to have it, because I know its an important meal when trying to lose weight, but life quite often takes over. If I am not ravenously hungry when I get up, it can go out of my mind until the hunger pangs take over about midday-ish.
It doesn't help of course, that I am easily distracted and can start a job, only hours later (usually in the middle of something else) realising I haven't finished it!
Ironically, I remembered I hadn't had breakfast as I was typing this, and dutifully went off and grilled two rashers of bacon, tomato, and two slices of ww malted danish toast - yay me.
I never forget to have my coffee in the mornings, black coffee, two mugs on the trot, which is my only caffeine of the day, unless I treat myself to a Costa Skinny Latte, which I don't count toward my caffeine intake. Its best not to get me started on how I reason that out!
I drink (preferably organic) 'herbal' teas for the most part, the current favourite being Pukka's Aniseed, Fennel and Cardamon, although I also enjoy Nettle, Chamomile, or Mint depending on my mood. I just cant get on with fruit teas, they seem wrong' somehow....
I try to drink the requisite 2ltrs of water a day, but I usually fail, despite liking to drink water!
But I digress (no change there then...)
Is it OK not to have breakfast do you think - as long as points for the day are used or would it be better to try and train myself to remember to eat it? Epiphanies on a postcard please....
Its probably a good thing I did my breakfast this morning, as I now have to go shopping again....at least I wont be tempted to buy stuff I don't need*. I promised to introduce my sons to the delight that is the soft tortilla spread with houmous and filled with roasted vegetables, and the BNS I thought I had in the fridge, isn't!! That'll teach me for being a domestic (kitchen) goddess at the weekend, although a domestic goddess with good memory would help!
* yes, I did type that with my fingers crossed!

can only comment from my experience... i dont really do breakfast... at least not in a proper way.. I often dont eat till lunch... and i've lost 32lbs in 12 weeks!
ReplyDeleteI think the main thing is to not eat too much later in the day and use all (or at least almost all) your daily points - even if like me you need to see it as a weekly total most of the time!
thanks for that Angela - its good to learn from other peoples experiences.
ReplyDeleteI suspect I will end up having to tweak the eating later in the day thing - it makes absolute sense.
I try and ignore my activity points altogether -purely because I already struggle to use the points I have, although I am sure that will change once my points allowance goes down (and I start goign to the gym regularly), and have a 6 pts surplus this week, which I am going to lose tomorrow so I'm hoping I am on the right track.
I'm not sure what you mean about seeing it as a weekly total - can you explain that to me, and I'd be really interested to know how it helps you.
thanks for your comments and support, it means so much to me.
