Weight Watchers Wednesday

Weight loss this week: –1 Total weight loss: 42

Hur­rah a loss this week! I was very very pleased as I tried really hard to stick eat­ing just my points. No snack­ing unless it was fruit or Weight Watch­ers pointed snacks and it worked! LOL I know it works I’ve lost 40+ lbs on Weight Watch­ers so I know it works.  The other day I had an epiphany regard­ing my recent strug­gles.  Are you ready for it?  I’m happy. It’s that sim­ple. I am not at my healthy BMI yet and I really truly want to lose another 20 lbs– that’s 10 more lbs than my offi­cial goal weight. So you would think WHOA! 20 lbs to lose and she’s happy? Well, yes I am. I’m wear­ing a size 12 jeans (granted they’re stretchy jeans but they’re still SIZE 12!)  It’s dif­fi­cult for me to lose weight when I feel good and peo­ple are telling me I look good. So I’ve lost my moti­va­tion. I’m not going to give up but it’s just mak­ing it 10 times harder!  This week I increased my activ­ity level– can’t say I exer­cised because that would be a lie but I have walked more and that has to count for something.

I’m also  reassess my snack­ing. As I’ve said here hun­dreds of times I am a nib­bler. A snacker. A mid­night muncher… OK so that last one isn’t really true I don’t munch at mid­night!  In an attempt to work with how I snack I have started mak­ing big pots of 0 pro­point veg­gie soup. I add a large bag of spinach and water­cress at the very end to boost up the vit­a­min lev­els and I can eat with aban­don.  The way I see it, if I fill up on the soup then I can have a bag of Weight Watch­ers crisps or a Weight Watch­ers cereal bar depend­ing if I want sweet or savoury.  We shall see if I can stick with it.  I was given some of these in my ham­per a few weeks ago. OMGaaaah they’er deli­cious!  They really are packed w/ flavour so a lit­tle bit goes a long way. Also because they’re in indi­vid­ual size bags you can eat the whole thing and not worry about por­tion size.  I’m try­ing to stick to one of these a day!
