The bottomless pit that is. I did much better with it today but, MAN, between 3pm and now I just wanted to eat again. Thank GOD the husband finished off those darn cookies! ;~)

Roni-
I’ve been having the same “bottomless pit” problems that you’re talking about… and it’s all been since I started lifting weights again. I’m not a big fan of using APs, but lately I’m thinking that thery’re not just there as a reward for exercising… I think I might actually NEED them! I’ll eat a perfectly healthy meal, rich in fiber and protein and an hour later I’m famished. I’m finding that nutrition bars are actually helpful in curbing my appetite… Snickers makes some good ones (I posted about them in the Product Review board.) Good luck filling “The Pit” let me know if you find any other satisfying foods… :o)

Are you like me, where you go in cycles? Some days the pit doesn’t seem to be there as bad, and then other days it is INCREDIBLY empty. And then back again.
Fruit. Yes. I need fruit. And not the fruit shaped candy on my boss’ boss’ boss’ desk.

Hey, go easy on yourself your metabolism is probably trying to adjust to your new workout routine! I’ve been having problems with not knowing when to stop but my point counts are MUCH higher than yours. How do you stop yourself from engaging in an all out destructive binge? I.e. eating lots of high point foods? Any advice?

Hey, I have been doing weights and more cardio and you have to eat more. I know it’s hard - old “fat” girl thinking, eat more, gain more. But really eat more. I should eat about 26 points a day - I had to move up to 32. I have good proteins, carbs and fiber - not the bad stuff. Good luck. The scale flew down when I started eating more.
