Day 15 thru to whatever day it is now

I'm pretty sure it's somewhere around day 19. I'm not entirely sure....  The last few days have seemed to run into each other forming one big, long, continuous want for Mr Potato Chip.

During the last few days, I thought I would tempt the fates and buy a bag of Fruit Jubes, just to test the whole notion of whether or not I could stop at the 5 pieces for 2 points....half an hour later and the bag empty I guess that answered that question. Works out to be 16 points for a bag and although it satisfied the craving for something sweet, it was neither filling or healthy. I think I would have been better off scoffing a whole box of Rich Toffe Bars... at least they're 12 points for a box. Now before anyone says.... "But there's only 5 in a box so thats 10pps." They're cumulative in points. I would have saved myself 4 points and actually been full.

So as I sit here eating my fifth apple for the day... it really makes me wonder why the bloody hell I did that. I knew I wouldn't stop at just 5 pieces.... maybe 5 handfuls. I mean... I have two hands... why let one feel useless by not filling it with the same as the other.

And No Ali I'm not trying to cut out points just to lose the weight. I'm actually growing acustomed to apples.

Now the reason why I said that is once upon a time, usaully over the christmas period when work was a little thin on the ground due to holidays, I'd put on a couple or 5 kilos. To try and counter that I'd try and not eat for a couple of days each week or skip meals. Nothing hugely noticable to those around me. I'd usually use the excuse..."Nah I'm not hungry" or "I'll grab something later"  Once work started up again it'd be all on. no pantry was safe, well... when I had the time to get to it. Nothing really healthy about that. Which is one of the things I quite like about WW. As I learn more about the program I'm learning that there are a LOT more foods out there that actually wont make me fat...well ok fatter, (Probably not the right analogy, but it's late, I'm tired and it makes sense to me)  Like Apples.....FRIGGING APPLES. As far as I was once concerned EVERYTHING had the potential to make me gain weight. When in actual fact it wasn't everything at all.  Just certain things, well most things that I was putting into me weren't exactly high on healthy scale. Salads for one never passed my lips. I'd even take the lettuce, tomato and carrot out of filled rolls.
