Things I've Learned Since Joining Weight Watchers.

Typically, I like to write about my children's antics, but tonight, I'm going to focus on a bit about me.  About 2 weeks ago I decided to sign up for Weight Watchers. I'm not really sure why--yes, I need to lose a fair amount of weight, but it wasn't like I suddenly had a big epiphany and got motivated.


It might have been better if I had!


In the past two weeks, I've learned quite a few things about myself.


1.  I eat (ate?) a lot of CRAP. Things that I miss eating? Giant bowls of ice cream, chips and french onion dip, caramel swirl iced lattes, apple pie, and many other things. 


2.  I have (had?) absolutely NO self-control with anything food-wise, and am (was?) a complete and utter SLOTH.  Seriously.


3.  I actually like whole wheat pasta (when you mix in Ragu sauce, steamed broccoli, and a little shredded cheese).  


4.  I still don't like yogurt.


5.  Like most things in my life, I am really, really bad at keeping track of what I eat. Even though I have "an app for that".


6.  Stopping at McDonald's because "nobody tells me what I can and cannot eat" is only sabotaging myself. 


7.  Fiber One bars make me fart. A LOT. I was eating one each day for breakfast, but it was getting ridiculous to try to teach for the rest of the day.


8.  I drink too much Diet Coke.


9.  The Wii actually counts towards my activity points! (Which is good, since it's the only activity I've done.)


10.  Even though I'm not really doing a very good job at staying on track, I've still lost about 4 lbs.


11. Drinking water during the day ACTUALLY makes you feel good! 


So, I'm not sure if this is going to work out or not, but I'm going to keep trying! After all, I've already paid for four months, so I have to at least stick to it for that long!
