Weight Watcher Cocky

Yup, you read it right.

I have become Weight Watcher cocky.

A taste here. A little bite there. I know how many points are in that, I will track it later. Blah Blah Blah. If you have done WW, you know what I am talking about. You may not call it WW Cocky, but that is exactly what it is.

I became acutely aware of this condition about 2 weeks ago when I maintained at weigh-in. I became even more aware last week when I gained .8 (which isn't even a California Burrito). This week, I have tracked every single thing that I have consumed. I even tracked the Ice Cream cone that I got at Disneyland last night. And let me say, that ice cream cone was TOTALLY worth it.

This week is the first time in my 16 weeks of WW that I have used all of my weekly points (over-draft protection) and have even used some of my activity points. I have been ravenous the past few days. Nothing has been satisfying and I feel like I can't stop eating.

Today, I even said these dreaded words...
"I HATE DOING WEIGHT WATCHERS!"

I IMMEDIATELY caught myself and had to give myself a little pep talk. The reality is, I don't hate WW. In fact, I love it. I don't hate WW, I hate that things like Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are dangled in front of my face on a daily basis yet are so high in WW point value. I had to remind myself of my goal. I had to remind myself of how far I have come and of how good I feel. I just needed to give myself a little reality check.

So, as I write this, I have gained 5 activity points today and still have 3 of my daily points remaining and am done eating for the day. Clearly, it isn't that hard. :)

I just read a quote that further encouraged and pushed me in this process...

"Giving up something now for something better later is not a sacrifice. It is an investment."

An investment!!!!
