Wow, it's been a hard week! Getting used to this new way of eating is not easy. I've been so hungry I want to chew my own arm off!!! I know it's because portion control is a big issue for me, so eating "on a budget" like this means eating a lot less food than I'm used to.

I'm also figuring out how my favorite foods fit into the SmartPoints system, which in some ways doesn't make a lot of sense. I also have my own priorities about food, like not eating anything highly processed. So, Egg Beaters is 0 points, but an actual egg is like 3 or 4. But I'm suspicious of a processed egg product like egg beaters, so I'll take the points for real food! And brown rice is higher in points than white rice. Whaaa?

Anyway, the struggle and hunger pangs paid off: I'm down over 5 pounds already! I'm not sure I believe it, and won't until I see they're still off next week, but still, that was a lovely surprise at weigh-in this morning!

I'm back, after five years away. I've gained back all the weight I lost five years ago, and then some. My health is starting to deteriorate, with daily heartburn and arthritis in my right knee, just beginning to develop. I wanted to lose weight to prevent these things from happening, but I didn't manage it. It's time to slow the decline. I have to if I'm going to live the life I want for the rest of my life.

I've chosen Weight Watchers this time because I've realized I really need the social support that a group can give. I have my first call with my coach tomorrow. I'm combining WW with FatSecret because I want the little weight tracker slider! Plus more social support, in a message board forum rather than a Facebook-like format like what the WW site has. When I lost a lot of weight before, it was with the help of a support group, so I'm trying that again.
