Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to WW I Go...

Day 16 - No Bingeing






No bingeing but definitely too much eating. I gained 2 pounds this week, primarily because last night we took friends out  on the boat to dinner and then Ben and Jerry's. The above photo was taken before we left for dinner.  I ate pretty well at the restaurant but had a waffle cone with heath bar crunch afterwards. Today happened to be weigh in day, so I had to face the bad news. Ugh.


The bad news is I  now weigh 137. I felt mopey all day, although I am sure not getting enough sleep fed into that.  The good news is my misery spurred me to go to my local Weight Watchers Center and pick up the new points plus program.  I had been resisting doing anything structured or involving counting. I think it makes me hyperfocused on food and in the long run, I don't know if that is good. However, I feel gross and I have a trip to NYC in 3 weeks. I don't want to be at my peak weight for that. So, back to diet land I go.  Weight Watchers has worked for me before. Not every time, but one time I achieved lifetime status. I am going to try and trust the program. I went on line today and got all set up.


"Change can be hard, but sometimes if we embrace the opportunity to start over and change our own attitude and mindset, we can create something that is more meaningful." I read this quote on an education blog today. The blog is written by a principal in Canada - George Couros. He was blogging about his move to a new house, not weight loss. However, I do think it applies to weight loss as well.
