Just wanted to report where I'm at. I lost 4.8 lbs this week! Woohoo!
But I'm noticing progress in other areas. I had a ton of extra flex points left over last night (after weigh-in but before starting a new week). I decided it would be okay to reward myself using some of those points. So I stopped for wine on my way home. I decided a couple weeks ago I had to ban wine from my house, but I decided I could trust myself. So I bought a four-pack of single serving wine bottles, and I had two of them, one with dinner and the other with a snack. And it was just fine.
But the snack I had...well. I wanted a slice of cheddar cheese, so I had that. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but I ate it. Whatever, I really don't get enough dairy. And the kids were having popcorn. It's basically air-popped, because we have this special bowl you can use to nuke plain popcorn. I really wanted some, so I marked it down as 1 point. Usually once I've marked it down as a consumed point, I have it ALL. But this time, I wasn't feeling the popcorn, so I just stopped eating it. Groundbreaking, right? I mean for a normal person probably not, but for me, it actually kind of is!
So at the end of the week I ended up with 7 unused Flex Points and 9 unused but hard-earned activity points. And I didn't feel cheated at all.
I could go on and on but yes, I am certainly learning that you can really learn to control yourself and listen to internal cues when you are on Weight Watchers. I didn't get that before, but I am doing what I can this time around.
