sy eating lol. Okay so when I went on my "I'm not going to eat like crap" rampage Monday night through Ultra foods, I grabbed some Progresso soup. Hey it's supposed to be low in points right? A lot of WW's swear by it and WW endorses it...but you know what...I guess it would be low in points if over 2/3's of the dam can is BROTH! I had this Italian Meatball soup and it was like these tiiiinnny meatballs (like the ones they but in Spaghetti O's lol), lots of chunks of carrots, and smaller chunks of unidentifiable vegetable like stuff, all floating in a tomato flavored chicken broth......Ewwwwwww! Dudes I am chili, stew, and chowder girl through and through. Something hearty because in my opinion soup and salads are not meals they are starters! Because they have no substance they don't hold me so I have to be creative. Like this winter I've made at least one soup this winter. I just made a 6 can soup the other day but I had to throw a cup of rice in there to give it some substance. And because of that yes the points are higher but now I can get a filling meal for 7-10 pts (depending on how much I eat lol). It still has all the nutrients the broth based version has but now it has some substance. Yes it adds carbs but dam we do need some carbs to produce energy! I'm not gonna be wolfin down bowls of pasta like Michale Phelps anytime soon but, I feel like the swap is worth it cause after I ate that Progresso soup I continued to eat for the REST OF THE DAY. Candy, nuts, licorice, anything all because I wasn't sated (I even tracked it all too...I know yay me...yay for the tracking not the constant eating lol). I had a belly full of this broth crap and I guess I was full but again, it was like as soon as I peed that was that lol. I have a can of Progresso Sante Fe Chicken soup which is exactly like my 6 can soup. So, I will hold off on that but when I do eat it, I will cook some rice or whole wheat pasta to throw in it! And I know this all sounds like an excuse to eat more carbs or "unhealthy" but my first and foremost habit I need to break is distorted portions. But that means that whatever portion I eat has to be filled will filling foods that will keep me sated so I don't binge eat like I did Wed! One step at a time, one step at a time...! Phalbs-o fun!

Soup DOES NOT = A Meal!
Dudes, I totally forgot to write about the catastrophic lunch I had the day before yesterday. Probably because I was too bu
