fitgeeks | I think I'm past Denial and into Bargaining

You know how there are several stages of addiction, grieving, etc etc? There are several stages of Weight Watchers too, I think. The first stage is "Yes, I care enough to actually pony up the money to do this again." The second stage, for me, is "I'm being sort of half-assed about sticking to my numbers while I create the library of all the foods I actually eat." It's a useful maintenance stage. The third stage is "I'm being honest about what I eat, and am therefore horrified at the number of points it all costs." That's where I am right now. I just found out that my very favorite food at Starbucks is 11 points for one scone. *sob*

The good news, though, is that if I had not eaten that scone, I think I would have been fine for the week. The discipline IS coming back to me, and it's achieving the two things I really wanted. Okay, three: a) being better about portion sizes, b) being better about fruits and veg, and c) being honest about how often I'm working out and how much food that REALLY offsets.

Eventually, I will hit Stage Four of "I think I have this down" and then Stage Five, "I'm getting bored of known safe foods and need to branch out a bit."
