Day 147 and 148 - Weigh-in

I didn't weigh-in today because I'm feeling bloated and moody. However, I did take the "traveling journal" for Weight Watchers. This means I'll be writing everything down and passing it on to a fellow member next week. Hopefully, this will keep me honest and eating healthy. Today's lecture was on eating out - my worst problem. I'm supposed to plan ahead. Since I eat out so much, I'm supposed to pretend it's just another dinner "away from home" not a special event to splurg.

Days 145 and 146

Monday was a holiday - President's Day. Breakfast was 2 granola bars. Lunch was roast beef sandwich and split pea soup. Snack was a granola bar. Dinner was Chinese buffet, including ice cream with chocolate sauce.

Days 130 to 135

Five days have passed by with me not writing down my food diary. Why? Because I was eating poorly and eating under stress. Yesterday, I was home sick - thought I had the flu. However, this weird pain kept bothering me under my right shoulder, especially after eating and in the evening. Well today I described this to my co-worker Julie and discovered that my symptoms all lead to Galbladder attack. She had her Galbadder removed as did two of her siblings. I read up on Galbladder symptoms and I had 9 out of 10 symptoms. It just made a lot of sense. Even my fever was slight.

Day 125

Someone I work with, but hadn't seen for several months, asked me today if I'd lost weight. That surprised me. I've lost 15 pounds, but it was slow and over many months. I've grown accustomed to the new weight and don't feel like I've lost anything at all. If you look at my eating habits over the last two days (crap), you would think I'm on my way to putting it all back on. Argh.....I definitely used more than my 35 flex points for the week. I don't expect very good results at weigh-in tomorrow.
