Decision MADE!

Posted by jillnicole03 on January 7th, 2009 |Filed Under Vegan Diet |

So time to catch up on my blog! The last month or more hasn’t been so well for me, extra stress which equals extra food. I am a binge eater, I eat when I’m bored, mad, sad, happy, pretty much every emotion, it’s something I’ve been trying to get over since I was 17, and realized I do have choices in life. Well ever since going vegan I have not felt the need to over eat, until the last month. So I did gain back about 10 pounds I had lost previously (within about 6 weeks), but my mind is getting back on track and I know I can over come this.

I decided I’m going to start Weight Watchers, that way I can start tracking my eating but still eat vegan foods that I pick. The soonest meeting is Monday, so that is when I will start. Right now there is a 3 months deal for about $60, and $17 monthly thereafter. So I’m thinking this will make me stay at least that 3 months. (I do have a problem of quitting things too easily). I was on Weight Watchers about 2 years ago for maybe 1 1/2 months, and I did quite well, I did really like the points system, but decided to stop going to meetings and do points on my own, unfortunately that didn’t last.
