WW Day 1
Okay...I know it's early, but here goes. I'll update as the day goes on. I'm allowed 33 points a day for now. What did a do? I ate a 3 point Twinkie while figuring this out. oopppsss... I'm going to have 2 eggs and 2 pieces of wheat toast light butter for breakfast, that will be 9 more points. This will leave 21 for the rest of the day. I can do this!!! Updates to come...
All right so...probably not the best choice for lunch but still not over or all of my points. I had two pieces of left over pepperoni pizza (12 pts). That leaves 9 minus 2 for a tbsp of peanut butter for a snack a few minutes ago = 7 left. I don't think this will be an issue. I'm having a salad with tuna, pepper and little dressing for dinner, that will only be 5-7 depending on how much dressing I use.
I went to the store earlier so I have a few more healthy (low point) options for snacks now. I also bought a few treats to pamper myself, I can't afford a spa, beautician or spray tanning (spray is the only way to go if at all ~ I'm a skin cancer melanoma survivor!) so I bought hair color, bath stuff and sunless tan spray. I've used all at one time or another in the past so I know I like them...by later this evening I'll feel like I've been to a spa hee...hee...
That's all for now, may update later depending on my evening.
Okay...so I stayed at my points. I'm tired and want to eat, but I'm not going to! I think it's mind over matter. I'm tired and sore all over so what do I want to do??? You got it...I want to eat! That's silly and I know it. I'm tired because it was a busy day both physically shopping, hair, picking up etc...and mentally being day one of actually counting my WW points. I'm sore because I did move around and that is a lot of weight for my bones, back, feet etc...to carry! I'm going to weigh in tomorrow and though I was good today I'm prepared for the worse, why? Because I ate out everyday this week at lunch and ate more than I should have. Part of my goal is to start weight watchers and journal, here I am and I have done it. So, I'm gonna take my big girl pill (not really), get ready for bed and do it again tomorrow! Thanks for all the support. Good night all!

Thank you for the tips...I don\'t do a lot of diet soda just one here or there. I love plain unsweetened tea, water and crystal light so that should be a plus! So 3 meals, 2 snacks and no food after 7:00. Got it...I think I should be okay. My only concern is I\'m not a big fan of fat free and low fat dairy, tastes funny to me. Looks like I can have regular just smaller portions. Any tips appreciated. Thanks! :-P
Try mixing your dairy slowly with the lower fat versions. If you take it slow and only mix a little more of the lower fat versions at a time, you won\'t notice the change as much. I have done this with a lot of foods that I didn\'t like the taste of and it works. Also, if you drink much caffeine, mix it with decaf...don\'t just quit the caffeine. If you just stop it, you will end up with a big headache.
Lots of support her for you and that is so great when you start a diet. Hugs.
