Tickled

So, I started Weight Watchers this week. (See The Great Slim Down 2006 over on the links) Now, I am a bit of a skeptic. About many a thing...especially when it comes to dieting. I just think, "...it won't work for me." But ya know? After just doing it for a couple days, eating a ton of food (which I am not used to) I am losing. I got on the scale this morning, and TaDa! Wholly schmolians, Batman! I have lost a couple few pounds. Now, I am guessing that with all the healthy stuff I am eating and cutting way back on my salt and fat intake, that much of this weight is water. But who cares! Weight is weight, and as my Mom said, the water weight was counted as weight in the total to begin with, so it should be counted in what comes off. I can't wait for WWIN4 next week.

I am still amazed, however, that I can eat so much flipping food. I mean...a lot. And here I felt that if I stuck anything in my mouth, I would gain. After just a couple days, I find myself hungry in the morning, for lunch and for dinner. And...it is OK to eat. Ha!

I haven't heard of the Lindora program. My Dr. did refer me to one at the med clinic here. It is very extensive. You only get 800 calories a day and are required to use their facilities for exercise, not to mention the cost is astronimical.

Weight Watchers was definitely my best choice.

I really had no expectations. In fact, I didn't think it was going to work for me. I thought, though, that it was certainly worth a try. I am so glad I am!

LOl Pee on a stick? Yeesh you would they had drug issues or something...

No thanks, I don't think I have too many problems with accountability. I thnk I can discipline myself enough to make those choices myself, too.
