While I was pregnant, I ate whatever I wanted—after all, what other times in your life can you do that??—and still haven't been able to successfully kick the habit. And my daughter is almost 8 months old! Before I got pregnant, I lost about 20 pounds and got down to my ideal weight by doing Weight Watchers. It wasn't always easy, but as far as diets go (if you really can call WW a "diet"), it is by far the best one I've tried. Because it worked so well for me, I was skeptical about the new Points Plus system, but I decided to give it a try. I've been to a couple meetings and I love it! The best part is that fruit is ZERO POINTS! I have never been much into fruit, but I have started to absolutely love it lately—especially because it helps curb my cravings for sweets and it makes a great snack that I don't have to add to my daily points.
My problem is that now, at WW, I am back to my Lifetime Member status, where I just have to go weigh in once a month and I don't have to pay to attend meetings. But that's the problem. I weighed in this month and realized I have a WHOLE MONTH until I have to do it again. Lately, I've been looking at (okay, CONSUMING) junk food, thinking it's fine because I have a whole month until I have to step on the dreaded scale again. And the new snack supply of chips and candy at work is staring me down every day and it doesn't help that my cubicle actually faces this stash of goodies. So my co-worker and I have decided that we're going to be losers (the good kind) the whole month of October and stick to our respective diets. After all, it is the best time—right before the holidays hit. So there it is. It is said, it is written (or, typed).
