Well, i am here. After many years of battling with my weight, I am finally ready to do something about it. I have done so many different diet plans (including WW two other times), but this time I feel like things are different.
Right now, I am seeing a therapist and working through some serious issues I have about food. You see, the back story is that I used to be anorexic and while I gained enough weight to keep people from continuing to worry about me, I never dealt with any of the reasons why this had happened to me in the first place.
So, when I got to the point where the weight I had gained had actually made me overweight (as opposed to healthy), i needed to lose it. The problem: I am absolutely incapable of dieting. I have such a strange psychological entanglement with food (a mean perfectionistic streak) that caused me to binge with the slightest provocation and had me beatin myself up about it constantly.
At some point, I managed to lose about 20 pounds (I didn’t really try, I guess my metabolism just kicked back in) and now I am “average,” I guess (my BMI is within a healthy weight range). But, I am still not at a weight that I am completely happy with. In fact, i am probably about 15 lbs away from being at my “happy” weight.
So, that brings me to Weight Watchers, which brings me here. I decided to go with the Core plan because, honestly, the flex plan made me feel completely obsessive. I spent the whole day obsessing that I only had *x* number of points left. I would also never get in my 8HG’s because I wanted to use my points on junk ( a common problem, so I’ve heard).
I tried Core for a week last May and I LOVED it, but I was studying for the Bar exam and decided I didn’t have the energy to devote to losing weight that was necessary for WW to work (I passed, by the way). So, on Monday, when I decided that I was ready, finally ready, I went back to WW and started doing Core. There will be ups, there will be downs, but there will never be another day without Weight Watchers. Finally, things are going to start happen.
Today was fairly uneventful. I went to wokr at 4pm and got out a little after midnight. The eating was good today. I am finding that “eating to satisfaction” is easy when you are eating core foods. The Core Foods are good, but they don’t have all the sugar and artificial flavorings that make you crave them. So, without further ado, today’s menu:
