Healthy Steps:
I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting this week. It went pretty well. With jeans and a tank top on I was 2.8lbs heavier than naked so that's not bad. I'll still be using my NEKED weigh in on here and my clothed one on WW site. I held steady this week and gained last. I hope to see a nice loss this week. Even though I didn't lose, just knowing I am sticking to a plan that has worked for millions is keeping my hopes high. As long as I can stick to their science then I know it will work. Oh and y'all had some questions (which btw I had as well) and I got some answers at my meeting. The reason fruits are free is because they calculated their carbs and sugars into all the other foods you'd be eating in a day to leave you room to eat a full days' worth of fruits without using points. Make sense? The other foods' points are slightly higher than they should be to compensate for free fruits and veggies. You still have to eat mindfully to satisfaction and not fullness.
I was also very confused about the weekly points allowance. I thought Why don't they just give me more daily points and leave it at that?, but there are two reasons for it. One, if you eat only your daily points you will lose weight. If you eat your daily points and ALL your weekly points you will still lose weight, just not as quickly. And the reason for making them extras is so you can choose when to use them. Daily points don't roll over. I have one day to eat 35 points and I need to get as close to that mark as I can since much lower than that and I won't lose weight because my body would think I was starving. Remember my first week when I felt soooo hungry? That's why. lol I was eating junk for points. The weekly points can be used any time through the week. You can use them each day to have your sweets or chips, or you can use them all in one day for a b-day party for example. It really makes more sense to me now that the leader sat down and explained the science. Wish me luck for next week!
