Weight Watchers Chat -- Part III

[ThistleMae]

I've been bad this week every day I start tracking and then after lunch I get a snack and its all down hill! This is my fault because last week I let myself cheat now I'm having trouble getting back on track!!!

Don't I know that HORRIBLE HURDDLE! I feel your pain. My nephew builds in one cheat day a week where he can eat whatever he wants! He's young. For me....that is just the worst thing I could do. After giving my daughter a PeP talk this week....the next day I went off and ate chocolate chips & walnuts with a tbsp. of almond butter...not just one....probably 10! Then I had home baked cinnamon bread with a hunk of butter fried in a pan, then ice cream....it just went on and on till bedtime. Luckily, I was able to regain control the next day...thank God! It really is such an addiction! So.....just pick a day, don't think about it....and eat right! Don't let the thought of eating something more even enter your mind. It really is an every day struggle! I'm so sorry to hear about your bad week.

Try not to beat yourself up about what you did and concentrate on what you'll do next. I've had the same issue with every diet or exercise program I've tried. Once I miss a work out or cheat on my diet, I get into that whole cycle too and then one meal off plan becomes a whole day which becomes 2 or 3 then I've given up. This time I'm going to try to look at each day, each meal, each minute as a fresh start.

2.4 lbs!!! Hurray!!! I feel like I ate pretty well last week too, didn't really feel hungry all the time or like I was depriving myself. Went out to dinner 2X and just ate 1/2 portions to be able to get what I wanted and still stay within my points. Had a lot of fruit and I did work out a couple of times - didn't use all my bonus points or any of my activity points.

Easter will be a tough day, going out for an early dinner with the family and of course have to make DD an Easter basket. At least dinner is not a buffet so going to try to order wisely and do the 1/2 portion thing again.

That's amazing!!! Congrats! So happy for you!! Keep doing what your doing!

Well my daughter is 9 months and they sent home Easter candy from daycare yesterday and I ate it! Horrible.....

Ugh, saboteurs are everywhere! My SIL, who lives in our downstairs apartment, made honey ham and homemade mac and cheese last night for dinner. We all usually eat together a few nights each week so DD was eating with them. I was glad that I had my meeting so I could get out of there!!!

I'm planning on waiting until Saturday night to buy the Easter basket candy so I don't dig in. I picked up all the non candy stuff last night while I was feeling good about myself thinking I wouldn't be tempted but I did buy a single Cadbury creme egg ( I love those so much I could not resist). It was kind of smallish but was still 4 points!!! Worth every last one, IMO.

I was down 1.2 this week but since then it has been a very sad story. Eating right hasn't worked well since Tuesday and I know I face Easter dinner (here) in two days. We leave for WDW on the 19th and I haven't tried on my clothes yet. :/ As far as Easter candy goes, not much appeals. I think Easter chocolate has got to be the worst chocolate out there.

Today is a new day! Have not tried on my spring/summer clothes yet either because I KNOW that it's not going to be pretty, literally. As for the Easter chocolate, I totally disagree but I do not want to type out all of my favorites, especially in this thread. Suffice it to say, there are many.

I hear you on trying on the clothes, but every week I try on two 'goal' skirts and every week I look ridiculous in them! You'll get there, down 1.2 is amazing!

I just love candy and Easter is no exception

Good luck!!

On some other points, today I get back on track, I've been pretty bad with snacking my meals have been ok, the snacking not so much

Also my FIL is on WW to and is doing great I think he said 20+ pounds already, im really proud of him!

 

[sharona]

The Easter candy has been tough for me to resist. I've given in a few times. I tracked it all and am still within my points but using way too many of the bonus points so early is going to make for a tough week. Not to mention it isn't good for my overall attitude that I have not been very "healthy" this weekend. Going to try for a no bonus points day today and a mid day workout.

NJlauren that is great about your FIL! It's nice to have someone in the family that you can talk to about the whole program. Found out at dinner that my SIL (not the one mentioned previously, the other one) started WW online a few weeks ago. We happened to be sitting next to each other at Easter dinner and I noticed that she was tracking her points on her phone. I wish she lived closer to us so we could do meetings together.

I went to Easter Dinner with the best of intentions. Then came dessert! I started good, one piece of pie I made with
Truvia and fat free canned milk. Then....my daughter had a toll house pie on the counter. I kept looking at it, passing it over but always coming back to look again. Then....it was over! I had one piece, then two pieces....then I took pumpkin pie home, ate three pieces....added a bowl of chocolate chips and walnuts....and topped it off with wheat thins! OMG! So....gained 2.2 pounds this week. Today is a new day. I'm back in the saddle trying not to beat myself up over yesterday. To all of you who overindulged for Easter.....forgive your shortcomings and move on!

Somehow I weighed less this morning after eating too much on Sunday than I did in the morning on Sunday. Can't figure that one out!

I did bad yesterday too, but am trying to get back on track this week. All of my extra points are gone from Easter (my new week will start on Thursday). Holidays are hard. At least all of the 'candy' holidays are done until October!

Yes!! This will be very helpful to me as when I see the seasonal stuff I feel like I have to have "just one" since it's not always available. 11 days til we leave for FL. Still not willing to try on my bathing suit, lol.

I just saw this on Yahoo! We are in a good program! https://www.yahoo.com/health/there-are-only-two-weight-loss-systems-that-115676562622.html

So I wasn't perfect yesterday by any means BUT I went to Dunkin donuts for an iced coffee (once I have one in the spring I want it everyday!) but I only got my coffee even if the new donut was calling for me. So I'm pretty proud of myself for that. It's small victories that help met the end goal.

Also I think dinner last night didn't sit to well with me I feel off today so I need to eat plain food today.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Girl Scout cookies in the lobby of my office.... Chances I am under points today?

I think that is wonderful. We do not have a Dunkin Donut in our town or anywhere near our town. If we did, I would be in trouble! So I am impressed!

Just found this thread and want to say it's amazing. I have been following Weight Watchers the three months leading into my last trip and since. Total weight loss is a little over 60 pounds to date. I still have a long way to go... Another 100 pounds probably. But.. I am so motivated to not need a Scooter/EVC on this years trip. I have been using my Disney Trip as great motivation and reading the Disney Menu's of all the amazing food I'm going to have as my reward once I get there. Glad I found you all!!
