Chubby Mommy

Yesterday went rather well, although I was hungry almost all the time. The downside of eating low-fat is being hungry about an hour after a meal. Since I’m not the kind of girl to consider celery sticks a legitimate snack (if I were, I wouldn’t be The Chubby Mommy!), I found myself tempted more than once to cheat.

I’m proud to say that I resisted, but it wasn’t easy. At one point I was so desperate for something crunch — chips, anyone? — that I ate an entire bowl of steamed Brussels sprouts. Yes, they satisfied my need for crunch and, with a little salt substitute on them, they addressed that salt craving, too. But I would never, ever recommend downing that much fiber in one setting.

The good news: I woke up a pound lighter. Whether that’s water weight or not, I have no idea. I’m not even sure that I care. I took my Alli pill before breakfast this morning, and I feel proud of making good food choices so far today.
