So....this week I started weight watchers.
I know some of you may think Why... you look fine... (yea right!) but the real reason is that I refuse to buy the next size jean up! As it stands now, my pants are so tight if I sneeze the wrong way my button could fly off and kill someone! Cheryl is doing it with me. I hear the groan people, she says she needs to lose like "5 lbs". I want to kick her when she says this.
I am an angry dieter. Ask Bill... I don't like to be hungry. I like food.
I get 22 points a day. With an extra 35 for the week. Cheryl and I talk points. All day, count points, figure points, plan points. People come into our office and wonder what the heck we are talking about.
I am now consumed with points. Some times we tell them where we are with our point count. Sometimes how many points certain things are. 3 jolly ranchers 1 point!
Cheryl is my will power on this diet! She looks at me and says, Candase, you do not need to eat that!
For example, here is the text from my meeting on Tuesday
Me: Ahhh they have koloches. they are totally f-ing up my weight watchers. I am not eating I am not eating.
Cheryl: You are not eating!
I wanted a biscuit and she said, that is too many points! We will have cereal. (4 points)
I wanted baked chicken, mashed potatoes and roll! She said, Candase you brought salad (5 points) for us. (note to self, The salad was not filling!)
I wanted Chinese food today. She didn't even say anything, just gave me the look. Lean Cusine Pizza (7 points)
See she saved me like thousands of calories! I have to lose weight this week! I just have to! Otherwise I am having a burger and fries! (15 points)!

Candase,
ReplyDeleteSince beginning my weight watchers lifestyle a year ago I can honestly say that it does work. I have managed to shed 60 lbs. Notice I said the word shed not lost. When you use the word lost your mind automatically thinks that you need to go find something. I know that I don't want to find what I've gotten rid of. Also think of this as a lifestyle change not a diet. For me it truly is a lifestyle change. If I don't change the years and years of bad habits - I will not have a life anymore.
I realized this last March when my brother had a stroke. Yes there were other factors that contributed to the stroke, but the main one was his weight. I know that I don't want to make Lisa a widow any sooner than necessary so I have to change my lifestyle so that doesn't happen. It's a journey and a process so things will not change overnight. I know you can and will do this and remember that you are not alone and you do have support. All you have to do is ask!
