Weigh in day—oh how I have come to dread you. This morning I weighed in at 208.8. That’s a .4 gain for the week. And frankly, I’m tried of this. I’m contemplating starting to go to WW meetings. I’m not sure if it would be for me or not. I’m also wondering if I could get more motivation and help at the meetings. I’ve never been to a WW meeting in my life. But being that I’ve been hovering around the same weight since March, I think it might be time to reach out for help. I would love your feedback on this. Do you go to meetings? Do you benefit from it? Any tips if I do decide to attend? I have about a week to think this over before the next meeting.
Here’s what’s going through my head. I hate starting something and then quitting. Quitting is not in my nature. I’m afraid I will go to the meetings and then quit and feel as lost and helpless as I do now. I also hate feeling accountable to other people in my weight loss. I don’t want to go through the same thing at the meetings that I’m going through now and have to feel like a failure in front of whoever weighs me in and not only feel like I’m failing myself but that I’m failing my leader and everyone else. Often times, I feel like I’m failing those who are trying to root me on. I know this should only be about me. I don’t like feeling like I’m failing. I think I’m just scared and afraid of judgment. But who can blame me, right?
I decided to try to get some more protein in my diet again. I’ve been slacking in that again. So for breakfast, I had a bagel thin egg beater sandwich with a bowl of strawberries and blueberries for 7 points.
The thought of coffee was still making me sick today, so I went with tea again for 0 points.
On my first break, I tried a new (to me) flavor of Chobani Greek- mango- and it was DELISH! 4 points.
I have recently made the switch to Greek yogurt for the majority of the yogurt that I eat. If I’m making a smoothie, I will use the cheaper and lower point yogurt. Hubby went grocery shopping with me this weekend and he wasn’t thrilled at the price of the Greek yogurt. lol 
For lunch, I had coconut shrimp (I get mine at Aldi’s) and a side salad made with lettuce from our garden, tomatoes, Feta and light Italian dressing for 6 points.
I have a new found love for shrimp—especially coconut shrimp!
I also had a No Pudge! brownie for 3 points.
And I decided to get rid of the Nutella in the house once and for all. There was about 1 Tbs. left in the jar. 3 points.
Did I need it? Probably not. It won’t be coming in the house anymore. I felt a lot better about this:
This is the only food that I cannot control myself with. Very strange.
For supper, hubby brought me home a turkey and ham sub. I also had baked BBQ Lay’s for a total of 13 points.
And then I had 2 Dark Chocolate mini ice cream bars for 3 points.
To be honest, I should have done without the Baked Lay’s and one of the ice cream bars. I need to start thinking more about what I’m eating and ask myself if I really want/need it. You’d think this would be much easier!
I used 6 weekly points today. I can do better. I know I can.
I had to share my beautiful roses. They are finally blooming! So pretty.
