Okay, so I guess it's got to be obvious that weekends are the tough times for me. I do fine at work (usually - unless a patty melt is involved) and can count my points and control my eating okay. But when it comes to the weekend where we tend to eat out more often, I tank miserably. Even when we don't go out, I find myself snacking and making bad choices just because it's there.
So lesson number one I learned this weekend - we just can't have it in the house. It won't kill my husband or my kids of the snack foods in the house aren't loaded with sugar and fat grams. They can eat a nectarine same as me, and will feel much better than having two bowls of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. So a new goal for this week is to shop wisely and recognize that 100 calorie pop corn bags can be my best friend.
Lesson number two I learned this week - don't encourage someone to join Weight Watchers and then go to Olive Garden. I felt the pull of the pasta, the call of the calamari and I caved. I didn't do horrible, but let's face it - at Olive Garden it's nearly impossible to do good. A friend and I literally signed her up for Weight Watchers and then went to celebrate the adventure with a massive calorie fest. I need to pick places that give me more choices, and I need to make the right choices.
If I don't lose on the scale tomorrow it's no one's fault but my own. All I can say is another day has passed and I have a few more lessons learned. Maybe I have a chance of getting this right.
