Week 19 - Remaining Positive

Okay. So I'm over my flex points AND 30 activity points by 18.5 points for the entire week...not that anyone counting (er ha ha) but that's an extra 83.5 points I've over eaten. 83.5 points. Where did it go? I don't recall eating one thing this week and thinking...man...that was a lot of points but SO worth it. Even my Pecan Mudslide after playing four games of softball in one day wasn't worth it. I was too freaking tired to enjoy it.

Time to spin it into a positive. Yes, I'm horribly horribly over points. But wait, I know exactly how horribly over points I am and I know exactly what I've eaten each day this week. I've written every single solitary thing down that has passed these lips. It would have been easy enough for me to say screw it. I'm not writing that. What's the point? Think of it this way...if I hadn't written it all down I'd be lying to myself by saying, "Why did I gain that much? My week wasn't that bad." I know I'd have said this...I've done it many times before. Then I would have blamed the gain on being bloated and it being a couple days before that special time of the month. I would have continued on lying to myself next week too, feeling sorry for myself. Telling myself I am a failure and that this stupid plan isn't working. I would have lied and I would have believed it. I can't now. I have it all written down. The thing is Weight Watchers works. I works awesomely. Millions of people who've lost weight all over the world are living proof that Weight Watchers works. Look at me. I had lost 32 pounds previously and had kept it off for 5 years. That is proof it works. But...you have to do the work. I will do the work. I did it last time without a shred of exercise. I can and WILL do this again. I had an off week. It is behind me. Time to get back at it with a vengeance.

Note to self...Thursdays suck for trying to get James to have a long nap. Snotty baby or not. Can't sleep through Garbage trucks, Recycling Trucks, Green Bin trucks AND just for fun a goddamn street sweeper today FUCK!
