Stuffed

Let me start off by saying that I am still OP. I have 15 WPAs left for the rest of the week. However, here I sit, nauseous and uncomfortable. This is the price I pay for only paying attention to how many Points I had left to "spend" and not paying much attention to how hungry I was.

After a light lunch and a nice afternoon going to the movies and the bookstore with my fiance, we decided to go out to my favorite Thai restaurant. I had the points and a serious craving for their Yellow Curry Chicken. I suppose I ought to have strategized to eat half, or something, but I just knew that I *had* the points to use and I wanted the food so I ate the whole thing.

Upon coming home, of course I wanted some snacks and treats that I was in the mood for. But on top of my heavy dinner, all of this food is not sitting well with me. I've eaten 42.5 points today which is just simply too much. At least for today it was.

But I'm learning. 30 points really is plenty of food. There needs to be a balance between using the points that are meant to be used, and learning to listen to cues from my body. And to not be quite so greedy when faced with a food that I love.

On the bright side, I did do one sensible thing at dinner. I love to order a Thai Iced Tea, however, at 7 points, I decided to skip it, and got 0 point unsweetened iced tea. Go me.
