First of all, I just wanted to say that I am not one of those cheesy people with a New Year's Resolution they will give up in March. Why, you ask? Because I have a plan! I just got tired of being me. As anybody who is obese can tell you, it is not a lot of fun being this way. In 2010, I lost 40 pounds and in 2011 I gained it back. Although it may seem like an epic fail, at least I was right back where I started instead of being further behind. And I learned a lot of things along the way.
The first phases of my plan were set in motion in November:
- NEVER be on a diet. If I always eat a salad, I think I would die.
- THINK about a craving. Is that really what I want? Maybe not. If it is, then eat it without feeling guilty. First limit: Give in to one craving a day on the weekends.
- FREEDOM from the foods that cripple me. Cant eat just one? Dont eat it at all! I have given up chocolate and soda because well I am an addict. Although one should not give up the things they like, eating 3 chocolate bars at a time lets you know its time to detox.
Doing these three phases netted me a weight lost of 20 pounds :) in about two months.
Phase two: Joining weight watchers. No I am not Jennifer Hudson. I am not Charles Barkley. But I did want a plan that would help me reach my goal without getting in the way. Have you seen the choice plans for Nutrisystem and Jenny for vegetarians? I rather eat a shoe.
So Weight Watchers it is. I am going to the meetings on Saturdays. I prepaid 10 weeks so it can literally hurt me when I dont go.
Also, I joined the etools. Weight Watchers gives a free 2 month trial.
And I downloaded it on my phone. I also have the calculator but I think I rather use the app calculator on my phone.
Today: Day 1. For breakfast I had 1 cup egg beaters with half a smart sausage (smoked flavored) vegetarian. 5 points. I have 38 left. I will let you know tomorrow how it goes!
So far, Weight Watchers has given me a lot of motivation. This does not feel like a diet, but rather a game. And I love to win!
Girl on a Mission, over and out.
