Back To My Tried & True
Im a Weight Watcher Girl…I don’t know why I stray…I get bored I guess or something else looks like it might work better. I’ve been just tracking my calories on Calorie King, which I love, but it gives me too many calories I believe. Aside from that, I have been only eating between 540 and 1200 calories/day. That is due to high emotional stress. I need to make changes. My loss for this week is .8/pound. I have had very little and when I do eat, it is very much because I know I need to. Even tho I know not eating enough causes my body to go into lockdown mode to keep any poundage from escaping, I still was hoping I would get to benefit from not stuffing my face…no such luck.
Today, I sit with my WW books and old journals and weight loss booklet. Today, I start…not just looking up point values, but actually tracking my points again. I will still use Calorie King to enter my foods for reference. Back to my tried and true friend…back to my roots and a part of me that will always be there. I cant not look at something and wonder, HOW MANY POINTS IS THAT? 
So it begins…again.
This week will be difficult in many ways. Tomorrow is my 24th Anniversary…no celebration planned…no reconcilliation in sight…just lots of memories. Also, things that have been in limbo financially are starting to stir again…not so good things. I’ve got a long ugly road ahead, but Im not giving up.
So here goes…Something Old (WW)…Something New (Fresh week)…Something Borrowed (This laptop)…Something Blue (Me)…

Sweetie - hang in there! This too shall pass.
Good for you turning back to WW. It’s such a good plan. It is easy to stop counting, but you keep going back because it works, right?!
Love ya! ((HUGS))
Hey girl - I am here for you!
You are my WW mentor, remember? Glad to hear you are trying to find something positive at this stressful time in your life. I’m still journaling and keeping track of my points, too. It’s the only way…. every once in a while I think “oh, I’ve done this so long, I can just do it in my head. I’ve pretty much learned to eat healthy, stay within points…” Who am I trying to kid? If I could do it without tracking I wouldn’t be here in the first place. I’m still a child when it comes to eating healthy. Give me an inch….well you know the old saying. It’s soooo true! Good job on finding your way back!
WW has always been the most successful diet plan for me. Before BuddySlim the meetings held me accountable and I went with a friend so that was an extra motivation.
Eat healthily as you need it at the moment. Eat foods rich in the B vitamins or take a supplement to help you with stress and anxiety.
I know it is hard for you to focus on things at the moment, and it is a time of emotional turmoil, but take joy in the small things, think of what you have, not what you have not, and know that your future will be bright and happy, but different than your past.
Hang in there woman! WW is awesome stuff, and you are always so inspirational too me I hope you do that for yourself this week! I’ll be thinking of you and sending lots of good stuff your way via the universe!
Sisterly Love,
Dana
Hang in there Deb!!!!! So sorry you’re blue hon. You can do it with Weight Watcher. I’m sorry there’s no reconciliation in sight.
Keep your head up!!! Have much love for you. Nancy
Awww, keeping you in my prayers! I love how your are refocusing, you can do it. Remember, God is our strength!
I love your poetic sense…
I’ve never tried WW, but if it’s worked for you, I’d say that it’s a good thing for ya! Get back on the WW horse.
This too shall pass. You’ll get through it just fine.
Good for you for going back to the comfort of weight watchers rather than the comfort of food. I’m sorry you’re going through hard times, and I will keep you in my thoughts.
