I am not unhappy with this small loss since I had candy everyday since Halloween, except today. Granted, I calculated every piece I put in my mouth, but saved points by not eating other things so I could stay within my WW point daily allotment. It worked. I needed to know that I could go through a Halloween and not feel deprived. I do not eat candy on a regular basis during the year, or dessert for that matter. However, I LOVE chocolate candy, and decided there are a few times a year I want to eat it, Halloween being one of them. So I proved to myself it is possible to do it without ruining my diet, as long as I watch every single thing I eat that day and allow for it. I feel no guilt.
Now that I am in a different location for a few days, with no candy around, I will probably drop more weight. I can really feel and see the weight loss now. When I can vault up the stairs in my primary home, I will know I have lost enough weight.
The important thing is to be on a plan I can stay on throughout my life and not feel deprived because I can never eat a particular food. That was the problem with some other diets. Nutrisystem told you to avoid alcohol. I am not a drinker per se, but like an occasional glass of wine or cocktail. But I count it now. I also had trouble with Atkins, despite a great weight loss. I could not give up those carbs long term. In general, I do opt for the low carb food when offered or when I cook, but I know don't have to. That makes all the difference to me.
