I Think I am Learning

Oh, where to begin? I just wrote a whole post on my day, going to Heiser's, getting rained on, eating Brauts and I realized, how boring! I deleted it. This blog isn't to detail my life, it is to detail my struggles with food and weight loss.



I think I am learning. I've been at this over 3 weeks and I am still going strong. I still calculate my points, I still watch my portion sizes, I make smarter decisions (usually). I haven't touched many of my weekly points since I started, and I don't plan to, unless I REALLY screw up. The good thing is I still eat the foods that I like. I still get to go to McDonalds, I get to have the Brautwurst with Sauerkraut. It's like a budget. I get to splurge here, but I have to scrimp and save there.



My eating habits before WW was a constant splurge. Big Macs, large fries, large cokes, no water, hardly any fruit or salad. No wonder I was gaining weight so fast, I didn't realize how many calories were in all those foods. Now, I try to eat all my veggies and fruits for the day. I am taking vitamins and drinking water. I make smarter choices, but if I want a Big Mac, my goodness, I still can have one! Yay!



I had a small victory today. I put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to get into in months! And, a pair of pants and a pair of shorts are too big and I must give them away, because I never want to go back into size 22/24! I am not losing this weight to get to a certain size or a certain number on a scale. I am doing this to feel better about myself. And getting into those pants today made me realize I was going in the right direction!



So, here is to keeping on keeping on.
