Another loss...

1.6kg down this week. Woohoo!

Just a quick update today... so tired. Bah.

Band & WW ;) I think this is the way to go

Well... 2.1kg down this week (4kg since my last fill)... Very happy with myself...

I thank both the band AND WW for this loss.

The band keeps my portion sizes under control meaning I can relax a bit with choosing what to eat.. Obviously I watch what I eat anyways, but for example, the other night I wanted satay noodles BAD... so I got them. I could only eat between 1/4 and 1/3 of the box, so instead of 17 points for the whole box (i know, i shat myself when I read it -i could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting before my band!!!) it ended up only being 5.5 points and I was MORE than satisfied.

WW is giving me a good guide on how much I should be eating. I'm fairly certain weight loss for me has been slow the last month because I haven't been eating enough and my body has freaked out a bit...  another example to show that is I lost 2kg in 3 weeks with the band alone and 2kg in one week by eating a bit more and watching it like a hawk.

I've worked out that some days I would probably eat barely anything, and not even get anywhere near the amount of 'points' I should be eating... and other days, just by bad choices... I could blow them out the window.. especially when I have a drink!! I've gone off fizzy mixed alcoholic drinks (turkey and dry, yum!) so now I usually have a mudshake or 2 or 3.... but at 6 points EACH I only have one now.... thats a lot of points...

Keeping a journal of what I eat each day has helped me immensely. I never really thought to try it, even though so many people have said it's worth it. Now I think it's something I will do for the rest of my journey... it's scary how many calories can creep in when you're not looking.

Anyway.. there ya go.. another week down...

wendie is a shit stirrer...

Bec has written on her blog about the Wendie plan; Which is a variation of Weight Watchers that a lass named Wendie made up.

I've always been meaning to try weight watchers, but after so many other attempts at different things never bothered. Although I probably should have tried it before going ahead with my surgery.

So... I'm going to be a copy cat from Ballarat and copy what Bec is doing. I started this morning... SO MUCH FOOD wtfffffffffffff......D: if I want my Super High Day (SHD) to be on Saturday, that means today I need to eat 33pts worth of food. It's. Just. So. Much.

It can't be good, can it? I mean, the band is supposed to make you eat barely anything.... why on earth am I now forcing down more than I want? And I mean, it's a lot....  So far today I've had 1 banana, 1 hot chocolate, a le snack, tomato cucumber ham and cheese salad with home made balsamic dressing, a small calci-yum strawberry milk and one chicken strip. That's only 23.5 points... I have 9 left for afternoon/dinner... so I suppose if I can muster up a 6 or 7 point dinner then I only need to have one more 2pt serve of something... how the frig am I supposed to do the SHD??? THATS 43 pointssssssssssss gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... The only way I can think of stomaching that much food is to eat bad high point stuff... not to mention the fact I doubt I will use any extra allocated points (35 per week).

The chicken strip I had today I ate because I knew it would shop off about 6 points... which it did. I have another in the fridge for tomorrow. I know it's not a good choice... but I mean... how the hell can I eat like... two sandwhiches or a billion pieces of fruit, or a thousand good foods to make up that many points... it's never endinggggggggggggggggggggg.......

I will curse very loudly if this doesnt work :( bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh stupid weight loss, stupid...
