I have spent most of my adult life not liking what I see on the scale. Don't get me wrong, I am not the type of person who stares at the mirror, hating the person staring back at me. I like to think I am comfortable with myself and all that makes me who I am. I just dislike how much of me there is.
I started another diet - again. I am hoping my monitoring my progress/ failures and putting out for all to see I might be more accountable for what goes into my mouth.

I am at my highest weight, ever. I decided to sign up online with Weight Watchers and see how I do... I don't know if it because I signed up and am now invested or if it is because I am sick of carrying around this heavy girl but I am excited for this journey.
Day 1 - I am proud to say I used all my points which was no small task considering I had 28 left at dinnertime! I had 2 servings (1 cup each) of my slow cooker chicken tortilla soup which was 6 points per serving. I added 1 serving of cheese and sourcream between the 2 bowls and a peice of cornbread. I then went to the store to pick up all the food I would need for the next 2 weeks, came home, and treated myself to a skinny cow chocolate peanut butter ice cream sandwich... 4 points and worth every one!
I got a bunch of things at the store and the Weight Watchers app for my iPod was totally helpful and made it so easy to find the points for food while I was there.
I LOVE this plan having fruit as 0 points! I was a little bummed as it is winter so we basically get apples, oranges, and bananas or pay an arm and a leg for the others. I then found out that if I get canned fruit (pears, peaches, fruit cocktail) in water or if I drain and rinse them, they are still 0 points. YAY!!
