I don't know why, but here lately the weekends have been so hard for me! Like yesterday I ate tons of bad stuff and went over my points. I did the same thing last weekend and the only reason I lost this week is because I dropped my points from 26 to 20 the rest of the week to make up for it. I guess that is what I will do this week too, that way I still have a loss!! I'm pretty mad at myself!!

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. weekend's are usually hard for most people but it looks like you have a plan in place to controls this week.
Good luck you can do it

I have no idea how many cookies I've eaten today! Plus a biscuit and sausage for breakfast and 2 eggrolls for lunch! I've done so bad! Why do I do this??
I feel so guilty!! I had the breakfast and then thought "Oh well, I've blown it now" So I've eaten all day!! It doesn't make sense to just keep on eating, but I did!! Surely, I'm not the only one?? I feel sick and disgusted!!

It has been over a month since I first started my journal and I have not had a very successful month. I do ok for a week and then I eat (a lot) and undo all my hard work!! Why do I sabotoge myself this way??? It makes me so sad!!! And mad!! And defeated!!! Sometimes I'm ashamed at the amount of food I eat even though I have heard people on talk shows and stuff talking about eating more than I do!! I guess this journal entry is just me rambling.....but I need to get this off my chest!! My Weight Watchers weigh in is on Thursday night so Friday my Flex Points start all over. I start Friday with the best of intentions, but then the weekend hits and I blow it! So then I figure I might as well just keep eating!! Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy!!

If anyone is reading this and knows how I feel.....I would love to know that somebody understands!!!

My weigh in day is on Saturday morning. I was struggling for the past several months. I'd weigh in and then make poor choices Saturday and Sunday. I had to refocus my goals and my habits. I had to find new foods and recipes that I would enjoy. I'm back on track for the most part and journaling again. Here are some tips that work for me. Some may seem silly but they are working for me.

1. I have a snack basket in my pantry. Presentation is everything & it's easy access ~ I don't have to open any boxes. I have lots of choices and I know they are all 2 points. Here's what's in there ~ (100 calorie snack packs ~ different varieties, 2 points bars, popcorn snack bags, 100 calorie cool ranch doritos, rice crispie treats.) Lots of happy choices.

2. I'm short so all the tempting foods are up on the top shelf of the pantry so that I have to get a stool to be able to reach them. I actually have to take the extra effort and time to think if I really need that food.

3. I recently replaced my kitchen glasses with goblets and added a water purifier to the faucet. I'm drinking water more than ever. There's just something about drinking water out of a pretty glass.

4. I pulled some exercises off of WW etools that are quick and easy and do them whenever my kids are occuppied.

If I think of anymore I'll let you know. Sometimes it helps me to share what is working with others. Why don't you share what is working with us.

Hang in there.

Well, I thought I would just check in and journal today........I am still not very good at journaling, but I had a rough day at work and I need to do something other than turn to food for comfort! I never thought I was a comfort eater, but I guess I am!! I feel very stressed about things that are going on at work but I keep telling myself that eating is not going to make situations at work any better!!
