First Weight loss update

July 15th, 2009 at 11:12 am

Tomorrow I will begin my third week on Weight Watchers. To date, I've lost 6 pounds. I've been able to resist a lot of food temptations and on that end I'm proud of myself. I've also struggle some days to continue eating the right foods. I'm now keeping a journal where I write everything I eat and my feelings for the day.

For me food is an addiction and all I can do is take it one day at time. I'll post my weight loss or gains (there will be weeks in which I will not lose but I may gain)every two weeks.

Congratulations on keeping a food diary. Its been very helpful to me - keeps me from the mindless eating, and if I had a special meal, it helps me re-live it calorie free. An odd side benefit, but there it is.

Trying hard not to be a slave to the lenders.
