HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
My husband has the day off. We were supposed to go get some craft supplies in town today. I need stuff like glue sticks for the kids. Since it is on sale right now you know? Well my tracker is currently being inspected and we can't finish it without the registration card. Which we lost. So we have to drive an hour to AAA to get a new one. If we go trhough PennDOT it will take up to a month. AND we have no car to get there. Only two of us, three if we push it can fit n DH's truck. I was hoping to have a productive weekend at home, but last night my husband's Uncle called to tell us they are having a get together down state...about 4 hours away I think. So if we have a car we will have to go to that. SO....either my school supply shopping will be delayed or we'll have to do it Saturday so then Saturday AND Sunday will be used up. Is everyone like this? It seems like every week end we end up running around mostly to satisfy other people. There is a party here a picnic there. We never just get to stay home. I don't remember being on the run every weekend when I was a kid. My parents seem to get to stay home. My in laws seem to stay home. Why is it we always have to run? Does anyone else feel this way?
Maggie-I have to say I hit the EXACT same thing you are doing back in January. I resented eating different stuff and not enjoying the stuff my family did. I used to get so I wouldn't eat b/c I didn't want to "waste" my points. Instead of eating too much I went the other way. Sure you can eat anything you want on WW, but to me some things just are "worth" the points. I got angry and resentful I couldn't eat what I wanted and a lot of what I could eat didn't seem worth the points so why bother. That's when I fell off the wagon. I feel that point coming on again sometimes. This time though I recognize it, and I challenge myself to fight it. This time I am prepared. I may fall, but I won't quit!
I know what it takes to keep me feeling satisfied and one slice of pizza doesn't cut it. My trick is to decide what is important to me. What will keep me feeling like I am not deprived? For me a big one is icecream. If I can sit down in the evening and have a bowl of icecream I am ok. So I save points specifically for that. Pizza is another one. But recently I figured out a thin or medium crust medium pizza slice is only 4 points if I forgo the pepperoni. I like mushrooms and at 0 points I really don't miss the pepperoni. I used to think ALL pizza was like 8 points a slice b/c that is what Pizza Hut is. I started skipping Pizza Hut and eating from a local place I can eat a few slices if I plan ahead. Then I don't feel so angry. Our leader can't stand low fat or fat free salad dressing. If she can still have her regular dressing she feels like she's not deprived. You have to figure out what is important to you. And this may change over time.
Also eating really good tasting stuff that I can eat a large amount for little points. Like Basalmc glazed chicken. SOOOOOO good, only 3 points! It doesn't feel like diet food. There are alot of really great recipes that don't feel "diety" I do use some low fat alternatives or sugar free stuff if it has splenda, but I rarley eat Fat free stuff. Fat free cheese to me is just wrong!
I know I said it yesterday, just keep at it. reseting, angry or not it will get better. We all have ups and down.
Ok, I have to go look up the number for AAA. Hopfully they are open today.
Happy Friday, Sistas!!!!
