Just wondered how everyone keeps track of their points? Do you write EVERYTHING down, do it from memory, keep it in your calculator or what?
I personally write everything down and last night reinforced why I absolutely have to. Was writing down something Id just eaten when I realised I seemed to have a lot of points left. Then I vaguely remembered scooping something off a plate with my finger tip and finishing off 'something' But what something?
I swear I spent 15 mins working it out. Checked the fridge for clues, looked in the cupboards everywhere. Came back in and like something out of CSI examined the plate for clues lol
Then I remembered, Id had a bagel, cream cheese and salami - 4.5 points! THEN I remembered Id had a yoghurt while I was waiting for dinner - another half a point!!
Thankfully I was still well within my points range but it was a real shock to realise that potentially I had forgotten about 5 points in one day!!
Just reinforced to me how easy it is to go over the points every day and totally screw up your weight loss.
When my mum was talking about what she eats in an average day it seemed fine til she remembered shed finished off my dads chicken goujons, oh and had the remnants of my nieces lunch, my mum is a total picker lol Not that youd realise it to look at her - she looks amazing She wrote everything down for several days and was shocked at the extra she ate lol
My trusty old notebook is now firmly at my side again
