Well, it's 10 in the morning and I've already used 21 out of 30 points

I've been doing WW for a year and a half, and you'd think I'd have the plan down, right? I had a dr.'s appointment, had to have blood drawn so no eating. Afterward, all I wanted was a starbucks iced something. Now, there are plenty of starbucks that are less than 5 points. However, I manage to order an iced cafe white chocolate mocha (I know the chocolate should have given it away) that is a whopping 11 points!! (and that's without whipped cream)

It's just funny when you think you know something and find out you are completely off!

hey peach,

i hope all is ok. dont worry about the points just move on

Thanks andrea, everything is fine. I plan to move on, but man, all I want to do this week is EAT--nothing seems to fill me up, I must be compensating for something

good.

i feel ya. pms?

I had a really bad day yesterday, after my weigh-in, no less. I made a huge dent in my flex points! I'm back on track pretty well today, but am gonna have to get in an awful lot of walking for the rest of the week!

That's the thing, it's the week after TOM so I wasn't really expecting this behavior!

That's the other thing, I need to get back to exercising--I've taken a little break and I'm feeling it

you guys can both do it!! look ahead to the aug challenge....

My scale looked a bit better this morning. I just got to thinking about how much I ate on Tuesday. Before I joined Weight Watchers, that was just a normal day! I'm just glad that days like that happen very infrequently!!

Susan

yea, I hear ya!!!! I guess you just have to try & get right back on the horse.. so to speak

Hey Susan- I know what you mean about "normal" days. Now, when I have a "bad" day, I have to remember those were what all my days were because that will really help me focus on how much better I am now!

Peach, you've brought up a great point! I thought the same thing this week. It's the week after TOM. Why am I eating like a truck driver? And when I'm not, I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat next. Lingering hormones?

Exactly, Peach. Instead of obsessing over one bad day, we need to congratulate ourselves for having made a lifestyle change! And not only for ourselves, but for our families, too.

When I walk through a mall food court, I almost cringe when I see people eating huge plates of junk food. In my former life, I probably would have been right there with them!
