Weight Watchers Wednesday

Week 47  Weight lost this week: ? Weight loss in total 35.5 lbs

So I’m not going to Weight Watch­ers this week.  I weighed myself at home this morn­ing and it looks like I’m up 4 lbs. HELLOOOOOO 4 lbs I lost last week! I can’t say I’m happy to see you!  To say that I am bummed out would be an under­state­ment. I’m in a bad mood, I feel bloaty and just depressed. I went out to din­ner on Sat­ur­day and had a cou­ple of glasses of wine and some risotto.  I know risotto isn’t the health­i­est thing I can eat but it’s not 4lbs of unhealthy. I stayed within my points for the rest of the week so my weekly 49 should have picked up the slack.

This is the first time I’ve stayed away from a weekly meet­ing but I just can’t face being con­fronted with the “offi­cial” news that I’m up 4lbs. I think I’ll feel sorry for myself for the next cou­ple of hours, dust myself off and move on from this.  I so much wanted to get close to 40lbs lost this week and instead I’ve gone back– a lot!

How do you folks deal with a weight gain? I need some tips on how to get over it and not allow myself to get sucked into the f&$! it men­tal­ity and eat my body weight in Nutella. I did eat nutella this week but still stayed within my points. Maybe that’s it I just can’t have any indul­gences. At least not on a week where I go out to dinner.

I dug into the ham­per I received from Weight Watch­ers and tried one of their bagels. When I first started Weight Watch­ers I had a bagel with but­ter and jam every sin­gle morn­ing. I didn’t know how I was ever (or even if I wanted to ) break my bagel habit. I even­tu­ally decided that the points were too high and just not worth it and I switched to por­ridge. I was a bit weary of try­ing one as I was wor­ried I would fall off the wagon and be addicted to them again. Luck­ily that didn’t hap­pen. I’m not say­ing the bagel wasn’t yummy– it was, very very yummy.  I would buy it again and I think it would be great with a scram­bled egg and bacon medal­lion on a Sun­day– would make for a lush breakfast.

So there you have it a totally failed fail­ure fail of a Weight Watch­ers Wednes­day update.  I’ll be down­stairs eat­ing a bowl of por­ridge try­ing to pick myself up by my bootstraps.
