I have gained weight on weight watchers instead of lost any.  I need to serioiusly track and stick to my points.  Everyone swears it works, ive been on it for 3 months and am up 3 lbs from when I started.  I should have lost at least 20.  I would have liked that.  I have an irresistible urge to take a nap and not do any more work, its friday, and i just want to relax.  Maybe a little one........

I think I can do it.  I feel inspired after working out today.  I was feeling kind of sluggish and not really in the mood to go, but its so true that a good workout will lift your spirits.  I must remember that.  And do it more often.  I get depressed cause I've gained and not lost much weight ( any weight) over the past two years, but I feel like if I get really disciplined I can do it.  Other people have bounced back.  I'm not taking any weight gaining meds like Depakote anymore, and my thyroid is functioning normally now, so there should be no excuses.  I wanted to eat bread before I went to the gym,I even had the crazy thought of going to the store, buying a loaf and eating some then hiding the rest in my car so my roomate wouldn't see it.  That was before I went to the gym.  Now the craving has passed and I don't have the guilt that would have accompanied overeating.  I'm kind of proud of myself.  Great news!! And I joined weight watchers.  Granted its been about three months, and instead of losing anything I have gained about 3-4 lbs.  But there is hope in the future.  I know I haven't been eating as many fruits and vegetables as I could have been.  I know I can do better.  I have faith, hope, and hopefully now discipline.  I know it doesn't happen overnight, but I'm willing to take the first step.

so after a week of following the points system on weight watchers, i have yet to lose an ounce. its kind of frustrating. im going to a meeting today to see what else i can do,or what this plateu is all about. i just started exercising again, so youd think i would have lost something, but nothing so far.........it sucks!!
