I see its been a month since my last post. I am terrible at keeping a "diary". But I will keep trying as I really believe that this can help in many aspects of life.
The weight is still moving which is great! Ignoring my gain in my birthday week :-)~ I have decided that I need to change some of the things I eat. i.e. "naughty" snacks. Up until now I have been following weight watchers and its been brilliant. However I started to become obsessed with points. I am not good at planning ahead because I never know what I will be in the mood for from meal to meal. Not planning has not hurt my weight loss but I am constantly looking at my tracker and trying to make sure I will have enough points come the evening (my snacky time)so I wont have to go to bed feeling hungry. In doing this I often have lots of points left come evening and dont always eat the right things because I have the points for something "naughty". This thinking has to change!
This (eating healthier) has to be a lifetime change and I really don't want to obsess over points every day for the rest of my life! So I joined slimming world (very little counting) and although I am still counting my points the ww way as well to make sure I have proper portion control, I feel better about things already. This week I am doing both side by side as I go along. Next week my plan is to still write everything down but not point it till the evening so I can see if I am able to stay within points using my own self control. If I manage this then I will stop counting points altogether as long as I continue to lose.
It has only been 3 days since I started my new plan of action but already I have noticed that food is not on my mind constantly. I am eating more fruit (free on sw) and less rubbish snacks and I know if I am hungry late at night I can still having something healthy to eat. I know I should be able to do the same with ww but I simply don't. I think the freedom to eat what you want within points doesn't give me the discipline I need cut down on unhealthy snacks.
I have joined slimming world for 3 months online and after that I am hoping that my new changes will just be natural and I can live my life without obsessing over food. I feel really positive about this now which is a great feeling :-) I just want to eat normally like everyone else without having to figure out points or syns and feel comfortable that I can do this on my own. So thats my plan! *fingers crossed*
