    I noticed once I added more fiber into my diet I was full easier... a fiber one bar (oats and chocolate) and bottle of water and that helps. Just as alil snack attack!

    It is so true though. Fiber rich foods definitely help you to feel fuller for a longer period of time. Helps me get through my day for sure!

    and I forgot to add I learned that from Tam! I wasn't trying to steal her spotlight! lmao! Tam got me hooked on fiber one bars. Also Thomas Whole Grain Light English Muffins with laughing cow cheese and a bottle of water... Learned that from Tam as well... heck none of my ideas are my own but the darn bottle of water! lmao :laugh:

    I know what you mean. I've been having a really bad 8 days. One day I do great and the next I do horribly.
    When I first started MFP I used to write down everything that pissed me off in a journal (every night). then I started written down all the good things and I eventually stop writing cuz everything seemed so good in my life. Well, I think I need to start using my journal again because I'm falling into my negative ways again I need to pump some positive vibes back into my life.

    I guess my point is that I tend to eat a lot when I'm down, upset or kids are driving me nuts.

    Lots of luck and stay strong!! We feel your pain!

    Yea, I've had those days before. I just eat. It's very seldom that I have a really hungry day, and it generally happens after I've been lifting hard and running a ton without a break for a long time, so when it happens I just go ahead and refeed. Same clean food, just more of it, and generally higher in carbs to refill glycogen. It generally results in a 1-2 lb gain in glycogen in water, which I lose again in a couple days. No harm done. It's just a part of an active lifestyle.

    Thanks girls! glad to know I'm not the only one who has these days.. The Fiber and Journal ideas are great ones! I know ..for me ..when there is a lot going on the only thing that seems to satisfy me is eating...so that is something I need to watch..And there is definitely a lot going on right now..especially this week because my 10 yr old is going in for surgery on Friday..and we went to the Orientation/tour of the children's hospital today so I think that played a big part emotionally.. Along with I am in the process of changing jobs.. ( mind you I have been a stay at home mom since the age of 18..taking care of other peoples kids to bring in some money..so as real job... sounds soo scary right now!!)
