Weight Watchers, Again

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm back on the tracking bandwagon. And, I'm going to turn Yoda on you.

Either do or not do, there is no try. (This inspired by P's latest saying - Yummy pizza you made, Daddy.)

I remember the last time on Weight Watchers. I lost 70 pounds. I did it. Not the program. The program gives you a structure or a framework, but it's not magic. I need to own this.

And, that's how I've been approaching it the past four days. Yes, I can eat pretzels and enter it in and theoretically the math should all work out. But, if I'm not really hungry, then I shouldn't be eating pretzels - program or no program.

Perhaps that's my approach. If I'm hungry, the points will keep me from overeating. If I'm not, then I shouldn't eat just because I have the points to. I know dire things are supposed to happen if you don't eat all of your points. And, I remember on the "old" program, especially as I got closer to my goal weight, becoming like a little miser with my points. Each one was precious. But, I also remember early on, not eating all of my weekly bonus points and nothing terrible happening.

So, here's to making it stick this time.


Cheers!
