Weight Watchers advice!

[Anonymous]

so I started going to weight watchers yesterday morning.

i stayed for a meeting and everything.

i got my calculator and books and all the stuff!

i just feel like I'm eating too much. even though I'm eating all the points I'm suppose to have!

and I'm really scared I'm gonna gain weight by my next weigh instead of lose!

does anyone have any advice, tips or recipes!

This is what is different.

We as americans are used to eating lots of food that is light weight but calorie dense such as candy, chocolate, soda, burgers and fries. These are high in calorie, low in nutrients, and ultimately don't fill us up. So, you eat more and more to feel fuller or you are just always hungry.

So, weight watchers has you eating more nutrient rich (as opposed to calorie rich) foods like veggies and lean meats that are heavier and have more weight but are lower in calorie.

Just eat from smaller plates, it cuts down portion sizes.

keep a food diary of what you eat through out the day

eat fruit instead of sugary snacks

you also need to exercise, perhaps get one of those inflatable pilates balls, The are rather inexpensive and are good for exercising at home, in case you don't want to go to a gym, you could also take up dancing as a way to keep fit, which is fun
