I did it. I took the advice of many and joined Weight Watchers. I’ve been enrolled in the online program for two weeks now. I keep track of my points in this nifty online journal they created. You can look up individual foods, meals, recipes, and even the points of food at some restaurants. I’ve attacked my cupboard and fridge with a sharpie, and written the points amounts on everything. I’ve followed the rules to the letter and haven’t cheated once. So how am I doing?
I’ve gained two pounds.
Yes, dear readers, I’ve gained weight on this super fabulous everyone-and-their-brother-loses-weight-except-me program. I realize it’s only been two weeks. I realize that I could be drinking more water, doing more exercise, and even eating a little better (even if I am sticking to my points exactly as instructed). But this is disheartening. If I’d only lost a pound or two, I’d feel fine. You’re not supposed to lose weight quickly. But you’re not supposed to GAIN weight either.
I’m not quitting. I shall prevail! My goal is to lose 35 pounds. Ok well my goal when I started was to lose 35 pounds. My goal NOW is to lose 37 pounds. Stay tuned.
