I am with you on that one!

if you know why are you doing it?

two reasons

1) work has been crappy and I'm emotionally bandaging with food

and 2.) I'm having problems with the idea that it HAS to be a lifestyle change - not a temporary thing

like it suddenly dawned on me that I can NEVER eat like I used to

yeah...I know how you are feeling. Those are pretty much my issues right now as well

what plan do you follow?

I'm a Weight Watchers Flex Plan person

and at first - it was good. It was really good

but the more weight I lose, the more points I lose

I mean, I have lost 40lbs in 6 months

and lately, all I think about it is what I CANNOT have or do or eat...

it's very frustrating

have you thought about switching plans for a little bit?

I am a South Beacher but have fallen off. I was thinking about trying something new for a while

that might not be a bad idea...

maybe I should think about it.

I mean, there is always going core within weight watchers

or I could do straight calorie counting

I'm not really comfortable with the south beach style diets

I can understand that. I dont like ww either... that is why we have so many plans to choose from

I might try it out again though just to get back to something ... then back to sb

I'm thinking that this week I'm just going to climb back onto the wagon

SLOWLY

and maybe try to figure out what treats I CAN have

but man, it's sometimes really hard and it makes me want to WHINE

I see people who are thin eating like crap all the time

and I know it's not just about being thin and that I'm not them but still!

I know what you mean!

what treats did you enjoy on ww?

I do the WWs Ice Cream bars and cups - they're 2 or so points each

and actually taste okay

there are some meringues that I buy from Trader Joe's that are 7 cookies for one point

mostly, I try to eat mostly FRUIT as treats but sometimes a girl needs her chocolate

what treats are there on SB?

umm... sugar free pudding. I can bake stuff with whole wheat flour... like cookies and cakes

the only problem is my body only allows 2 grains a day... and I dont want to eat cake as my grain

I was a grain with every meal so it is hard for me sometimes

that sounds really hard!

it came be...but usually not too bad. It can be difficult to come up with lunches for work... which has caused my fall
