OK, so today I got on the scale…then immediately went online and rejoined Weight Watchers.
Deja vu. This is almost an exact repeat of about five years ago, when the scale indicated the same exact weight as today’s offending numbers. Panic time…
Last time, I lost over 35 pounds on Weight Watchers, but it took me about 1 year to do it because I ignored the exercise part. I lost the last ten pounds opening Malia’s Mug. And despite being around food at the restaurant all morning, day, and night, I kept the weight off the whole time the beloved Mug was alive. (Probably something to do with running around like a chicken sans head all day… and stress…)
After the death of The Mug, the stress certainly stayed, but I’ve been spending my days sitting in front of a computer nearly 15 hours a day. Not so good – the lubs have sneaked back.
Actually, with Weight Watchers, it’s not really “food jail” – just more like “food purgatory”. For those of you not familiar with the WW “Points” system, all foods “cost” a certain number of points, and you’re allowed a certain number of points per day (my allotment is a mere 21).
Doing the other plans would be “food jail”. That’s when you can eat as much food as you want, as long it’s on the approved list. That list contains things like beets and cabbage. No spank you.
So as I relearn the system, I expect my mind’s eye to start superimposing those number values on every food that crosses my path for the next several months. Here we go…! Weeee!
