Week 3
So if I had to say anything about this process, is that I feel like I have a lot of organized chaos going on when it comes to food and eating. There are moments when I feel like I want to eat the way I used to (not as often though) and it's as if some other force steps in and tells me that I'm stronger than that, and it's as if the craving is gone before it ever really starts. But then I have moments where I almost feel like I'm being too good and I have to treat myself in moderation to prevent from having an urge to binge.
All in all I would have to say I've been feeling better, and that alone is worth all of this planning. I feel more awake and alert, I feel refreshed. I may have neglected to mention that the day I started Weight Watchers I also quit drinking caffiene, which is huge for me. I am talking no tea, no coffee, no soda... I am even careful about how much chocolate I have because I'm being that strict about not having caffiene. And I feel AMAZING now that I don't have it anymore. Don't get me wrong, I have my moments where all I want is a Coca-Cola just for the taste and the tiny buzz. But that's the old me. I keep telling myself that it's not worth the way I'll feel afterwards. Some things I can justify. For example, if I have two hard boiled eggs instead of the one I'd planned to eat, I know that I won't feel super guilty or physically ill the same way I would if I had two slices of pizza when I only planned on one. Does that make sense? I just love where I'm going with this, and I truly believe I could do it forever.

My weigh-in this week made me nervous. I felt like I lost weight, but I also got my period and I hadn't lost anything according to my home scale (I don't know why I even use it, it's not accurate anyway)... in fact it said I'd gained a pound. But by my meeting I'd weighed in having lost a pound and a half. I'll take it! At this rate I'll have lost 10 lbs by my 5th week, which isn't really that bad. I'd be thrilled if I could make it happen by the end of my 4th week, but there really is no rush. That's what I love about this program, I am doing this in a healthy way at a healthy pace. Any other diet or program would have lost my attention and devotion by this point. I am so proud that I've even made it to my fourth week on this, I don't think I've ever pushed myself for this long.
