This was my first week with my husband gone and it also involved two parties. Yikes! How was I going to maintain my wight loss and not backtrack into my old habits of late night snacking with no one to be accountable to and not fall off the wagon around all of the yummy deserts that were going to be at both parties. This week it was a mind over matter battle and I am happy to say my mind won. I chose to clean rather than eat and I'm pretty sure when my husband came home he appreciated this new found change in my habits.
As for the desserts, I enjoyed them. What I really love about Weight Watchers is the freedom to do that. I have 49 extra points to burn each week on whatever I want. I personally really love my nightly glass of wine and that's fine. One small glass of red wine is 4 points. I feel a little foolish doing this but I do measure out 4oz of wine with a cup and then pour it into my wine glass to make sure I am only drinking those 4 points. So at the parties I enjoyed a brownie and a slice of birthday cake. I just counted them as extras and moved on. If the joy of eating is taken away a person is much more likely to eat the "forbidden" food. Enjoy your wine, eat your cake, just make sure you're doing so in moderation.
Weight loss for this week... 2 pounds. I am now down FIVE pounds and I am very proud of myself. I am really doing this!
