I finally joined Weight Watchers, or WW. I didn't want to do it, I kept telling myself that I didn't need to pay someone to keep me accountable. Apparently I haven't done such a great job at keeping myself accountable. That said....I've been on now for one solid week, I've been following the point system and doing great! I gained 10 pounds over the past 2 months, due to the holidays, and self inflicted relationship stress, but I've managed to lose 7 of those 10 pounds, then I'm going to take out the rest! Feeling empowered (sorry to use such an overused word, but that's really how I'm feeling) and like this is something I can really do. I still eat the things I love, i.e. this morning I had an orange, a piece of toast with my chovocado dip on it, and a cup of coffee with half a cup of dark chocolate almond milk. I am satisfied, and not craving carbs. It does help that I committed to quitting soft drinks, but there is no way I would have done that on my own. I frequently need a little help to make better decisions.
so....go me!!!!
