My husband had surgery for an umbilical hernia 2 weeks ago. Who knew it would be the one thing to drive me bonkers and to cause me to over eat every single day!?!? The stress and being cooped up inside taking care of him and worrying was unreal! Now I get that little clause in our wedding vows…”In sickness and in health!!” What about In boredom and whining and all the other stuff?? LOL They left all that out 15 years ago when we were married.
My food today started out really good with breakfast and although I had a good lunch planned it didn’t work out that way since I had to run some errands and under-estimated how long I would be gone. I ended up at Jack in the box with my bro-in-law and it wasn’t good as you can imagine after I got home and logged in my food! I was so disappointed in myself and diusgusted. But what can ya do? I logged it in and moved on with my day. Dinner was good and healthy at least. I got in some swimming and a nice brisk walk outside today for exercise. Tomorrow is a new day with a fresh start.
I’m thinking of trying Weight Watchers but would like some input from others who have some experience with the program, so let me know ladies if you’ve tried it or doing it. Pro’s and con’s!!!

I did weight watchers about 7 years ago - the point system. I loved it. No trick food packages to buy, just normal food. It really taught me about eating healthy and portion control. Guess this is a recommendation!

Oops, posted too soon. Also have restarted the diet this week and am loving it.

I am doing WW and I LOVE it! I do the Points program. It is so easy to follow and the real big plus is that you don’t have to buy special foods - you can just eat whatever you have on hand as long as you stay within your Points. At first it took a little getting used to looking up the Points for everything but in a short time you’ll start knowing without looking everything up. I think some other diets are too hard to keep track of how much/how many calories you’ve eaten compared to WW. It is not really a diet - it just makes you realize how to eat the right way for life. Everyone I’ve known that has been on WW has had success.
Today I hit my 35 pounds lost mark following WW. Give it a try!
Good luck!
