I'm a little bit discouraged about my lack of weight loss since I last posted. It's been nearly two weeks and I haven't lost any more. In fact, the scale has been bouncing up and down above my lowest weigh-in. I've only seen my lowest number twice, which means it's not real stable yet. If, at the end of December I still haven't had an additional loss, I will consider re-evaluating my calorie/point goal. Although it doesn't excite me to eat even less than I'm eating now. I've finally got this whole thing worked out to a plan I can deal with, even though I often feel a little hungry at bedtime. And I don't feel quite as sorry for myself when I cut my normal portions in half. It used to be unthinkable to eat only one piece of chicken, not two. Or only one piece of pizza. Or to cut in half and not eat a whole delicious sweet roll or donut. Or even to say "No, not today" to some wonderful treat.
Weight Watchers has introduced a new point system. From what I've read about it online, it seems much more complicated than I want to mess with. So I'll stick with the old one.
It's been good for me to look at my graph. It helps keep a positive perspective. There's a song that came out a few years ago, with these lines:
I'm not what I used to be,I'm not what I'm gonna be,but thank God I'm not what I was"
There ought to be a way of tacking that on to my graph.
