Makes you think ...

I read something in the latest ww mag that really inspired me. I thought I would put it on here for you guys (hope ww doesn't mind)

"Stop picking and save yourself up to 12.5pts! Yes, all that nibbling at leftovers really ads up. Without even knowing it, you could be eating around an extra two-thirds of your daily intake. We asked a Member, a mum with three kids, to let us take a look at her tracker for one day. This is what we found:

POINTS VALUE TRACKER


8am:

Half slice of toast left by toddler at breakfast, 0.5pt

Corner that fell off a block of cheese while making school lunches, 1pt
10am:

Lick of biscuit mixture from bowl, 1pt
10.30am:

Piece of leftover chocolate biscuit, 0.5pt
12.30pm:

Lick of peanut butter from knife after making sandwiches, 0.5pt

End of iced finger bun left by toddler 1pt

Lick of foil lid from full-fat creamy yoghurt, 0.5pt
3pm:3 broken biscuit peices while unpacking groceries, 1pt
3.30pm:

Handful of potato chips, left in a bowl by son, 1.5pts
5.30pm:

Few crumbs of cheese clinging to the grater, 0.5pt
6pm:

Dollop of leftover macaroni cheese, 1.5pts
6.30pm:

Lick of teaspoon dipped in golden syrup and small spoonful of crumble mixture, 1pt
8pm:

Glass of wine, 1.5pts

Total:

12pts!!

Reading this really hit home to me. I don't think it is exagerated and so often we wonder why we didn't have a loss. I am guilty of a few of the above things almost on a daily basis ... especially the cheese one!

Makes me realise how honest we have to be with ourselves, if we really want to get to goal!

Well that's my inspiration for the day... not much else to tell.

Catcha!
