Why, hello!

Posted by Karen on February 15th, 2010 . Filed under: Struggling, Weight Loss .

Oh boy, it has been a while, huh? Two weeks since my last blog post.

Before you start worrying, I am doing okay. I am not entirely on the bandwagon as far as WW goes, but I am still doing my weigh-ins. Unfortunately, I have gained 0.9kg over the last two weeks (I have been keeping my weight loss progress page up to date), so it is high time for me to fully commit to WW again. And to go to the gym once I get back in town (I’m at my parents’ currently).

I think what is up with me right now is one of those cases of ‘oh whatever.’ I just don’t care enough. There are too many occasions for me to consume too many points and I don’t (want to) say no. I have been feeling unsure about it being worth it. Saying no, turning down snacks for a small loss. It’s amazing to think that I made it through the entire holiday season without any issues and now here I am. In February.

I must admit that while I did journal most days in the past month (since my first gain), I have not properly journaled my food intake in the past week or two. I don’t think I did all that horrible this week with the exception of a load of cookies I had on Wednesday and Thursday. Oh wait, there was that visit at Burger King on Saturday too. The only reason we even went there was because there was no available seating at Subway. Bad excuse, I know. But hello, Germany, ever heard of food courts?

I have not weighed myself since Wednesday, mainly because at my parents’ the scale is in their bathroom (as opposed to my bedroom at my place), so I am not tempted to step on it as frequently, as it is one floor up from my bedroom. I have no idea where I am weight-wise right now, though I am hoping that if I gained it was a small gain like last week (0.2kg) or no gain at all. I would LOVE a loss but I am not sure that is going to happen.

I am promising myself to start journaling food & liquids again starting Wednesday (my weigh-in day) and I will get back on track and losing again. I think what I need right now is a really good week. A week of sticking to plan every day and having a big-ish loss. Something that will make me care again. And that is not going to happen as long as I don’t count points. I know that. So there, Wednesday* is the day I will be getting on the bandwagon again.

I also need to write my weigh-in posts sooner. I have noticed that if I wait until the weekend, I have often forgotten so much about the past week again, that I have nothing much or interesting to say. So that’s it – back on track with WW & a weigh-in post on Wednesday!

* If you are wondering why I say Wednesday instead of tomorrow, the reason is that I am visiting a friend tomorrow who may be making a pecan pie and counting points on a day you’re going to have pecan pie is just setting yourself up for a disappointment. I am not planning on going completely overboard though, what with the day after being weigh-in day.

    Just enjoy the pecan pie today and jump back on the wagon tomorrow.

    I left WW because of the money. I have to pay for using the tools online and I’m now with this site which is completely free of charge.

    Thanks. There was no pie after all (my friend is dealing with some things right now, so baking a pie was probably the last thing on her mind), but there were cookies and reduced-fat chips, as well as mini pizzas. I do think I did pretty well about not over-eating though, and the scale was very friendly to me today.
    I would leave WW too if I found counting calories anywhere near as convenient as counting points. But for me WW is just the easier option. And I don’t mind paying €15/month for that (though I do hope that I will manage to get to my goal weight this year and stop paying for WW every month).
