Weight Watchers Week 4

Today is weigh in day and i've lost a total of 5.2 pounds. YAY for me!!!!  This weeks lessons....i discovered 1 pop tart is 5 points, if you don't have good snacks around you then you will go for the bad, and just because you may eat something that isn't healthy doesn't mean you can't get back on the wagon....its about balance.   i've found theweight watchers message boards to be very helpful. they are full of information and motivation. 

Goal for week 4  

Read the message boards 15 minutes a day
Join at least 2 challenges on the weight watchers website

Weight Watchers Week 2

Last Monday I joined weight watchers which they have a new program called Points Plus. I have 29 points per day, 47 extra points to spread throughout the week or have a splurge day and Monday's are my weigh in day.  The first week wasn't as bad as I thought, its different from the regular points system (yes i've done this before). When they say journaling helps you lose weight I truly believe it. It helps you look at what you've eaten...to examine....and make changes.  Being an emotional and overeater makes it a little tougher but I really believe i'm on the right track.  The good news is I lost 2.2 pounds this week and with that i MUST understand that doesn't give me a pass to eat ridiculous which for some reason when i lose a little i think its okay to eat bad. until next week....

Saying "NO"

Never thought about saying NO to myself. I read this in another blog and I had an AHA moment. Now if I can just be mean to myself and say NO. LOL I've been saying yes for so long not only to myself but to others and i've always had a hard time saying NO even when I so desperately wanted to say it. I've gotten a little better at saying NO but you know what if I can begin saying NO to myself then maybe i can be free to say NO to others more often.
