Officially doing Weight Watchers now. When I joined this site, I used WW principles but used FS to track my food. That would still work for me except for the fact that I got my husband to join my efforts for the health of our family by letting him choose which plan he wanted to try and he chose WW so we both signed up. So happy to have renewed focus towards my ultimate goal of a healthy family.
I decided I would still track my weight and check in with FS because I like it here. :) I have not yet figured out how to maneuver in the WW online community--still feel pretty comfortable with the wonderful people here. :)

Losing 2.0 kg a Week
26 October 2011
It's always amazing to me how much energy I have when I take control of my eating. I can't decide if I have so much more energy because I'm not eating as much or if it's just the result of feeling in control. Whatever it is, the difference is night and day...how is it possible that I ever let myself NOT be in control?

So as I said yesterday, I'm back on track now. Yay! It feels good. When the weigh-in screen asked, I had to say that I've been following my "diet" poorly for a few weeks/months now (don't know how long--lost track) but I have been exercising a couple of times a week so luckily, I've only gained 3 lbs. Can't wait to get rid of it and continue to go in the downward direction.
Yesterday I started tabulating all of the things that were in front of me or offered to me that I turned down...today I couldn't turn down the offer of a Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks. I tried to tell my friend not to buy it but it was such a sweet gesture to buy me coffee...she didn't know that the drink I was dying for last week would be a drink I didn't want this week. So I accepted...but I managed to only drink half. Again, it's not that one can't drink a whole coffee drink and count it...normally I would...I just want to a) keep sugars out for a week or so to rid myself of cravings and b) show myself that I do have SOME self control...sometimes. :)

Gaining 0.3 kg a Week
23 October 2011
I've been absent from this site for a while. WHY? Good question. No answer is a good one so I'll move on.
My daughter turned 5 this past week. I've lost 90 lbs during her 5 years of life. I sometimes forget that the reason I've even been motivated to lose any weight is for the future of my family. When I lose sight of the fact that I'm doing this to be a better mother; live a long time; and set a good example for my children, I lose my way and start to eat poorly again. When I do this for vanity, it doesn't work at all. When I remind myself that I'm doing this for my kids, it's so much easier.
I wish the diet journal had a space to include all the food that we're tempted with throughout the day but choose not to eat. For example, today I did not eat:
1) a chocolate doughnut
2) chips and salsa
3) a hot dog
4) a churro
5) mashed potatoes
6 leftover birthday cake (MY FAVORITE)
Don't worry...I'm not saying people have to stay away from everything that brings them pleasure. And even though I didn't fill out my food journal at all today, I can tell you I ate enough and I ate healthy food. I believe in having a little bit of what you want as long as you include it in the calorie count...but in order to get back on track, I have to do a week or two of cold turkey on some things and then re-introduce them back in to my life in small amounts.
I didn't even feel tortured by not eating the things listed above. Last week, I would have eaten them all without worrying too much about it (that's how far off track I had gotten). Today, however, I just decided I was done. I had even gone to McDonald's yesterday and could barely eat what I had ordered...that's actually when I realized I needed to regain my focus...that and the fact that my daughter just turned five.
The other thing I think is so incredible is how sugar produces such strong cravings. MAYBE some of this is mental but I decided not to have any sugar in my coffee this morning and then continued to stay away from it all day and it was 100 times easier to stick to my healthier eating goals. I had been having sugar in my coffee and just counting it towards the total calories but I'm starting to realize how much it derails my efforts.
I will weigh in tomorrow to see where I am in comparison to my last weigh-in on FS. I am a few pounds up but not more than five. We'll see what the scale says in the morning.
