Choices
Posted by zazu on July 15th, 2007
I overspent my WP’s again. I’m not sure why I do this.
Yesterday I was at my long boring class all day and pizza was provided for lunch. Not just cheap pizza, but thick, cheesy, mile-high toppings PIE pizza. There were also cookies, chips and other not-good-for-me snacks. So, when I had 1 point left for dinner, of course I made a really sensible decision like EATING OUT AGAIN! I knew I didn’t have the points for it (not even flex, those were gone..) but I decided that is what I really wanted. I really want to lose weight and I know that eating that way and losing weight cannot co-exist. The sensible side of me says I’m sabotaging myself, but the emotional side says that it’s ok to splurge occasionally. AFter all, a few bad meals isn’t the reason I gained weight. It was the daily habit of eating that way that caused it.
So, for now, I am feeling netural about my choices this week. I know they were not consistently on plan, but each choice I made was conscious and cannot be blamed on anything other than wanting to eat and be lazy rather than healthy and active. Next week will be different.
Thanks to Roni for helping me with the table. I debated whether or not to post my menu, but seeing it in writing and knowing others can see what choices I made will hopefully motivate me to better choices.

I guess you can’t have the ups without the downs in life eh? When these things happen I just remind myself that this is a program for life, and living doesn’t always cooperate with healthy options and perfect days!

If it were easy we’d all be size zeros. No worries— this happens to even the best WW followers in the world. Once you feel like you’ve sabotaged your day, there’s usually nothing compelling you to stop it. So on to today….(Although I bet your tummy is ready to kill you for all that cheesey pizza and greese! The plus side of all this is that you probably won’t feel like eating that stuff for a while now) I had a really bad Friday night and ended up eating a ton of Mexican food….tortilla chips in particular. My stomach is STILL in knots over it and I’m hating life right about now. I figure this has bought me a few weeks of no-tortilla meals.
