Hi everyone
This week was good until Thursday night. Thursday was the first time I had bread since I started on Jan 29th. I had NS Sloppy Joe and it said to have it with a roll. I had a wheat roll 80 calories and put the meat on it. I also had an oz of FF lunchmeat and some lettuce. Later I had my afternoon snack, my dinner and my evening snack. Around 10 p.m. I was hungry. Now I know from Oprah's show that when you are hungry it is a good sign that you are losing. However I went to that stupid refrigerator about 3 times. It seems like the roll and lunch meat were calling me to it. I broke down and had 2 oz of FF lunch meat and the roll with FF mayo, at least 150 extra calories. But I didn't stop with one, nor two but had three sandwiches. That's an extra 450 calories I shouldn't have had. What bothers me is that I have always had a problem with bread. I have been known to eat a loaf of wheat bread in 3 days. However I thought since starting this program I had it under control, I guess that is not the case.
The only things that made this a weight loss week was the exercise I did after midnight and staying on program 100% for the remaining week. I had 4 more rolls sititng in the refrigerator. Today for lunch I had NS meatballs with a roll. I know why do it again when you had trouble on Thursday. Two reason- one I didn't want to waste the rolls (especially when I am only working 10 hours a week and don't have much money coming in at this time) Second reason - some of the NS meals suggest bread of some kind and I need to learn how to control the impluses to over eat on this food. So we shall see what today brings. One good thing I have no more lunchmeat to put on the rolls so that may prevent me from a binge.
I will have to get on the NS and Jazzman's boards to see what others are doing with the sloppy joe meal and tuna salad, chicken salad, chickenbreast, beef burger etc. instead of using rolls. I'm sure when I express this problem to the NS friends they will have some excellent suggestions. So 2 weeks down 3 more weeks of food to go. I'm going to have to ask them also when I need to re-order for next month. That is it for this now see you next week.

Hi!!! I followed you here from Jazzman's board. I love blogspot.
Hey, I don't go for rolls. I find the most bread I can have "legally". There's a multi-grain lite English Muffin where you can have the whole muffin as your bread. With the sloppy Joe's, I make "chips" out of a whole-wheat tortilla - just rip it up, spray with cooking spray, and run it under the broiler. You can stir in some FF cream cheese or sour cream and eat it like taco dip. With the tuna and chicken salad, I have a multigrain cracker (it's kind of big and flat) and I put the salad on, a string cheese, an onion or a tomato slice, and run it under the broiler. It comes out like a tuna melt, yum.
I'm sure people have more ideas on Jazz's site. Good to see your blog!
