Well that First Day Blew

 It was a very unsuccessful first day of WW yesterday.  I guess that was to be expected as it's learning a new system and not just stuffing my face every time I got the urge.  Hopefully today can be slightly better.  So many basic things I eat are so high in points that it's going to take a while to learn what I should be eating and how much of the food is actually required to feel full.  

I think it would also help if I was taking my meds consistently as then it helps me to feel not hungry.

Not much else to report today.  It looks like it's going to rain but I'm supposed to have a walking meeting in a couple hours so I'm hoping that it's going to either hold off or happen quickly.

Girls have set up the tent in the back yard and have been hanging out in there whenever they need a space to themselves.

Have a good day!

Well, I've Joined WW

 After a bit of a conversation with Hubs last night about what my goal weight and everything should be and what I'd be happy with, I decided that I needed to get off my butt and actually try to lose some weight and not hope that getting this surgery in 3 years is going to be a magic bullet that solves all my issues.  Hubs went to hockey and I decided to take matters into my own hands and joined Weight Watchers.  It's the first day so far and I'm hungry but as I snack I'm watching those points available for the day slip and while I know it's going to take a while to get used to eating better and well.....less, it's still demoralizing to eat a small snack of junk and have a quarter of my dailies disappear.  However, I figured that for the $10 a month it's costing me, I've spent way more on things that will give me less benefit.  It's going to be a challenge to get used to tracking everything and also to not eat my weight in snacks like I normally would but if I can maybe be consistent with my pills and this, there could be some benefits in the long run.

Fingers crossed.
