So I've got some extra poundage I want to lose. My activity level is actually pretty high, so I decided I would tackle the giant pachyderm in the room that is my eating habits.
I know many, many people who swear by Weight Watchers, so I thought I would give them a try. Again. I attempted this years ago with my sister, who lost 15 pounds, while I gained 5. (The worst part was that she had to quit because she was pregnant -- and she still lost more weight than me!)
I can't do the meeting thing because it feels too much like AA. So I tried the online version. And it's just as bad as the meetings. Why is it that when I'm counting points, all I can think about is food? I've got 21 points allocated for the day. It's 11:15, and I'm well past 15. And I haven't even had lunch yet.
Why oh why am I the only one who can't get on this bus and stay on it? I'd chalk it up to discipline, but I've got plenty of discipline when it comes to running or karate. Just not food. And absolutely not Weight Watchers. Maybe it's the name. I don't want to watch my weight. I just want to ditch a few pounds and get on with my life.

There are too many foods out there that taste too good -- and I'm not talking about point-friendly carrot sticks either. I feel your pain. When I am trying to lose a few, I just try to focus on people who look like they've never eaten food before, and I print out their pics from the web and paste them on the fridge. It's not foolproof, but sometimes it makes me at least pause.
