It's Not Fair!

Yesterday I made the mistake of browsing the Weight Watchers dining out guide. Now, I was absolutely shocked by how many points those meals have. Some of my favorites would take TWO DAYS of points! Wow! But then I got whiny and started to feel that it isn't fair that I can't eat that yummy stuff and be slim like when I was young. You might notice in my profile photo that I was very slender when I got married, I used to eat whatever I wanted (of course I was very picky), and I was thin. It has been a hard adjustment for me to accept the fact that my body has changed. For a while I didn't even acknowledge that I was overweight! So that is what was going through my head yesterday as I struggled to stay on points.

I did work out for 30 minutes which earned me 2 activity points.

Here is what I ate: (I am allowed 24 points)

1 slice of french toast-3.5
1 Tbs pancake syrup-1
1-1/2 tsp light spread-.5

Taco Casserole-8

3-3/4 cups Newman's 94% fat-free microwave popcorn-2
2 Handi Snack puddings-4
1 cup sugar free fat free hot cocoa-1
Little Debbie Twinkie type snack cake-3
Kit Kat-5

Used 28 points
(I used my 2 activity points and 2 points from my weekly allowance. This leaves me 33 points in my points allowance)

I know terrible eating habits, and I have a HUGE sweet tooth. But baby steps will slowly change me.
