Fact: People don’t care what you ate or plan on eating today
I read this once – OK so maybe it’s not a fact per se. just the general consensus.
Whatever. I need to write it down. I need to figure out the points values based on Weight Watchers here in the Netherlands. Today is over. I’ve cried over my frustration, my half-assedness, my tiny little pound lost in the last two weeks. I want to give up. Yet I don’t. So, it’s nearly 11pm and here I’ve prepared my food for tomorrow:
B – egg and laughing cow sandwiches – 6 points
2 HB egg whites
2 triangles Laughing Cow
4 slices of bread
cucumber slices
wee bit of Hellmans Fat Free dijonnaise
apple

Attitude: snarky but awake
I was casually glancing at this post when all of a sudden I realized your lunch sounds REALLY really tasty to me! Tuna pasta salad! I need to make that very soon, clearly ;).
and I just looked at that again Hilary… I haven’t had that in a while! I think it’s time to make it again :-)
Hey, I like how you broke up the meals and told what was in them. Also, love the new look of your blog.
Hey, it worked this time. Go figure…
As a rule, I’m not too interested in what folks eat. I eat what I eat, you eat what you eat. I’m more interested in the mental aspects, what’s going on inside the blogger’s head and why they’re doing this.
It’s funny, I can usually tell from just two or three posts whether that person is going to be successful. You get a sense that there’s no stopping them.
Hey Katie, thanks. I think I’m going to stick with this blog theme for a while.
and for you and Jack – sometimes I write what I eat, especially if I’m having a hard time staying on track. I also find it interesting every once in a while to see what others eat, especially when they are on a losing streak. That said, even when I’ve tried different things it doesn’t necessarily help me to eat like other people. So yeah, I get that :) The mental thing is so much bigger than what you actually put in your mouth anyway so …
Thanks Jack – appreciate you saying that!!
