I’m so glad I joined Weight Watchers and have taken the time to learn about the points and make adjustments to what I’m eating. I weighed in on Saturday to a 2.6 loss! Yessssss! I’m still re-losing weight I gained the previous weeks, but I feel much more motivated than I have in a long time.
Over the weekend, I bought fruit, Greek yogurt, and other food to keep under my WW points. I also bought a different kind of meal bar someone suggested that has less points than the ones I always bought. I’m determined to stick to it this week and stay under my points each day.
Even better, the kids were excited to pick out healthier snacks too. They went to the store with us and asked for apples, celery with peanut butter, things like that. Of course they still want chips too, but it was wonderful to see better habits rubbing off on them.
On a far less exuberant note: Friday evening, we had the dubious delight of seeing Psycho, and I was struck by terrible she looked. She has gained weight and was dressed like she just stumbled out of a flea market bin. She was prancing around, so proud of herself, desperate for my fiance to look at her, and I had to wonder just what psychological disorder she suffers from, because this isn’t the first time she has acted so bizarre. The kids’ grades have been falling, and it’s clear there’s not much, if any, supervision at their other home. I have always worried about them, but now I’m downright scared for them.
It’s hard to stay focused on my weight loss journey with so much drama and worry. It’s like we are forced to leave the kids in the care of an untreated mental patient and just hope they survive the next two weeks before they come back home to us.
