Fattack
Likes to eat
Some weeks I find myself REALLY hungry and have difficulty staying within my points (including those earnt from APs!).
Other weeks, like this one, I'm just... not as hungry and struggle to eat my 18, never mind my APs on top of it.
Now, I know I should try to eat all of my points, bar maybe a couple because I earn APs, but I'm finding it extremely difficult this week.
I don't really choose "low fat" food - I live with my parents whilst I save to move out, and we just all eat low-fat food (plus I'm cheap and don't want to buy full fat yoghurt for example when we have 30 non-fat ones that are just as nice sitting in the fridge!). Plus, I actually LIKE skimmed milk and lower fat versions of mostly everything.
I do love a bit of booze, and would spend my excess points on that at the weekend, however, I weigh in on a Tuesday, and alcohol makes me retain water like nobody's business and it takes usually about 3-4 days to shift it :/
Does anybody have any advice? I want to eat more of my points but I don't want to be unhealthy with it! Yesterday I was quite shy of 18 points (my daily allowance) so ate a skinny cow lolly and a bag of low-fat crisps and to be honest, it felt quite unhealthy (i'm not really a fan of processed foods but I make do because they're fast and because I get up at 6am and don't get home til 9:30pm).
Sorry for the long ramble!
