how WW works
if you're lucky enough to never have had to go on weight watchers, or haven't done it in 10 years, i'll tell you a little about it.
they have this point system. every food has a point value. and you're alloted points based on how much you weigh. the top of the line is 22 points. so it doesn't matter if you weigh 155 or 355, you still get only 22 points a day. and i am realizing that i was eating WAY above 22 points a day. and now i'm cutting back and i am starving.
i had to stop eating pretzels non-stop. damn carbs. and i can't cram ice cream in my face when i want. but it's not like i eat really bad stuff. i drink diet pop. i drink skim milk. i eat frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. i don't drink fruit drinks because of the sugars. i don't eat chips or mc donalds or burger king or taco bell. but i eat a ton of carbs. cereal all day long. bread, pretzels, tortillas, beans, cheese, pizza, low-fat waffles. and i figure because they're not fried or full of fat that they're ok. but these things add up. on my ass.
somehow i'm supposed to put 5 servings of fruit and veggies into my diet. hahahaha!! i haven't eaten a vegetable in weeks. ugh, that's so terrible. i eat apples and grapes. oh, and i hate to cook. takes too much time. but the thing about WW is that it forces you to think ahead. so i don't wait until i'm starving to eat 2 bowls of cereal, i actually plan ahead what i need to eat. tonight, i'm making chicken with green beans and rice.
but i've suffered through one full day of this counting crap. why haven't i lost 5 pounds yet? sheesh!

it.. it really is terrible. from the beginning of january thru the middle of march i've lost about 7 pounds, with no reduction of clothing discomfort. a tad disappointing.
i'm now on the rebound and ate my first donuts this morning after untold months. as soon as you read this, please dial 911.. i will be smack dab in the throes of my heart attack.
