Well, I'm not having the problem of consuming too-few calories anymore. I'm staying within my calories but it's making me feel like I'm slipping into more and more snacking. I don't like that feeling much...
I made sure to fit some egg whites into a busy morning and I made myself a good sandwich for lunch. Then I felt like snacking, although, I give myself a bit of a pat on the back for passing up with garlic pita chips when I knew I'd still be craving a Snickers bar. I did have two fun sized snickers, but the calories weren't much different than the chips.
Later, I found myself reaching for two Cool Ranch Doritos because they were there. I hightailed it to the kitchen and cleaned up some grapes instead.
I have to share an amazing recipe!
We made Garlic Shrimp and Potato Tapas for dinner. It's another Weight Watchers recipe and it is amazing! I hadn't made it in years, but it isn't hard at all so I have no idea why I waited so long.

Yum, yum, yum!
I never would have thought to put shrimp with potatoes, but MMMmmm!!! There is something about adding the white wine vinegar at the end that makes these smell like a Chinese restaurant and taste delicious.
Although, I definitely did not adhere to the serving size and had about two and a half servings, but at least I was good for it. I could have used a few more veggies in my day, but those lovely green beans you see on the plate weren't actually consumed. We have a automatic soap dispenser right next to the purified water dispenser on the sink and I'm pretty sure those beans got soaped - yuck! I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
Give that recipe a try - you won't regret it!
