A little down but not giving up.

I had a bit of a setback. See, I'm a dignosed Obsessive/Compulsive (and on medication for it). Now, I'm not a cleaner (not by a long shot), but I am a checker and have this strange compulsion to create lists.

So, as many folks know, one of the things about Weight Watchers is keeping track of the food you eat and their point value, etc. Sometimes this can be quite overwhelming for me since I have this other problem and I either get ridiculous about keeping track or I get a case of "This is getting too weird, I need a break" and just not keep track and fight the compulsion to do so. I did this last week.

So, of course, I gained a few pounds back. Not much, just three, but still, it's a bit of a set back. I'm going to work hard to get back on track this week.

Setbacks will happen, I know, but I didn't think I'd have one this early in the game. I've been good today. I hope I can last for more than three/four weeks before having another feeling that I'm obsessing about something and need a break from tracking to break what could end up a vicious cycle.
