Hi Sharon,
It sounds like you've already had two non scale victory (NSV) by not going back for seconds and
tossing half of your mall meal out. WW isn't a good thing/bad thing sort of diet. It's a way of life
where you're constantly making adjustments in the things you do to become healthier. Yesterday was a
normal day for you where you happened to eat out twice.
Scales: It depends on how you want to weigh. Some people get upset when they see their weight
fluctuate daily. Some people can only weigh once a week. I suggest taking your measurements because
sometimes measurements are better milestones than anything the scale tells you.
As far as munchies go, just have snacks around the house that you know the point values of or you
know are lower in calories. I find that chips and salsa are a much better substitute than say chips
and a sour cream or mayo based dip. I personally like celery and peanut butter (ok, pb isn't low in
calorie, but it satisfies a lot of cravings for me). When you weigh out the peanut butter and only
use a little at a time you can really get a lot of celery in you.
I've been fighting off my munchies when I come home from work with salad in a bag because I
generally am looking for something crunchy. I'll count the points from the dressing and go to town
with the lettuce. Then if I eat the whole bag I don't feel guilty for eating over a thousand
calories or whatever.

worst thing about prednisone is the munchies! And I won't be going off meds.
I ended up so totally wacked out eating yesterday, and once I started, the whole day was lost. Bad
thing -I ate two meals out. Good thing - I
didn't

Quoted message said:I threw over half away instead of taking it home. Then I got home and got the munchies. Little of
this, little of that. Sure adds up fast.
So, I start over this morning. 1/2 bagel with low fat cream cheese.
Hmmm,
Quoted message said:not too bad (even if it's not what I had yesterday morning).
I bought a set of scales yesterday. Do you weigh daily, or once a week,
or
Quoted message said:three times a day ;>😉. Do you think it helps? (Probably should have
asked
Quoted message said:those questions before I bought the scale, huh?)
Have a great day!
