A bowl full of guilt
So, I started CORE about a week ago. It's my third iteration of Weight Watchers in the last three months. I started out on the full breastfeeding moms plan receiving 33 points. Then Eliza dropped two feedings, so I went down to 28 points. Then I got totally frustrated and panicked about the upcoming bridesmaid dress deadline and decided to do Core, as I lost a ton of weight on this plan a few years ago, and all in all, it's going great. I've already lost a few elle bees (love that name!) but something is torturing my poor little weight watchers soul - it's cereal - big glorious bowls of shredded wheat. Every night around 9, I start to STARVE, and all I can think of is a bowl of shredded wheat with ice cold milk (soy that is) and some blueberries. So, for the last few nights I've caved in and done it. Then I have felt terribly guilty over it. So, this morning, I told my husband that I'm weaning myself of cereal. Last night, I had a half a cup of shredded wheat instead of a whole cup. Tonight will be a quarter cup. Then I shall end with just blueberries and soy milk perhaps. I just have to figure out a way to curb my appetite around 9 every night. I'm totally open to suggestions!

What works for me if I'm hungry at night is having a low calorie drink instead of eating. Diet V8 Splash is super delicious and filling (especially Tropical Blend!!)...it is sort of expensive unless you go to Wal-Mart. I heard a while back that many times your body mistakes thirst for hunger and I've found it to be inredibly true!
