On the road to a new me!!!!!
At least I hope it is postive.
This is not either of my normal journal pages I am not venting and I, at the moment, am not feeling very humorous. Give me time I am sure I will get there.
The Doc has informed me that my weight has reached dangerous proportions and I must do something about it. He, however, is not much help.
So...........Two of my friends and I started Weight Watchers this morning. I have sorta started as I am not totally sure what I am doing. It seems easy enough. I have all the tools.
The point system sounds like something I can handle. Almost all fruits and vegies are 0 points. Meaning I can have as many as I want but I cannot just eat fruits and vegies. I have a set number of points that I must eat. I can have a few more than this target but I am not suppose to have less. And that will be the hard part for me. Because if you tell me I can have so many then less must be better.
However, with practice, I hope I can get this down pat. The other hard part for me will be eating breakfast as I personally think food before 10 AM is vial and poisonous. Yucky, creepy and not on my list of favorite things. Coffee is not food. But according to the booklet it is fluid. So I can have all that I want. My bread only has 2 points so maybe I could choke down a slice tomarrow AM and work up from there. Oatmeal is acceptable so I will try to work up to a small bowl with fresh apples and Cinnamin by Friday. They tell me I can have one poached egg, two slices of toast and some ham for breakfast and only have 6 points. Not bad if I could just swallow it before 8 AM.
The best thing is that my Tootsie Pop is only worth 2 points but I have to wean myself off of them. At least I don't have to go cold turkey. And I can use them as a reward system for the moment to get me to eat my whole allotted amount of points. But I have told myself only until this bag is gone. I will not buy anymore.
NO MATTER HOW LOUDLY THEY CALL MY NAME AS I WALK BY THEM!!!!
Well, wish me luck. I will do my best to journal weekly with how this is going. I won't tell my weight but for those of you who may be interested I will journal my progress. First goal is to lose 5 % of my weight.
Love ya all
