WW - Day 4

I am honestly enjoying myself on this diet. I feel like I can basically eat anything without it being some sort of severe back-slide. I have never really paid attention to portions. I think my biggest enemy has been an open package of anything. Chips. Cookies. Nuts. Crackers. Ice cream. All I really needed to do is make portions. I know this seems like real rocket-science, but this is truly one of those eureka moments.

So I have taken the time to measure out and record little packets of food for my day. Religiously.

And I do pause sometimes, because these are seemingly small portions. I said I couldn't have almonds anymore, but actually, having a smaller portion that what I was having before (which seems downright obscene from this perspective) is truly enough. I have plenty. Really.

FOOD: Yesterday I had 1 point left over at the end of the day. Today I have 12 points left over. And I'm not starving. I could even go to the freezer right now and serve up a scoop of "premium" ice cream for 7 points and still have 5 to spare. But I don't really want to.

MOOD: Wow. Is it really this simple? Adele: Remember this moment. It's not abstinence, it's control. I'm just glad I'm finally doing something about shedding some weight, the by-product of which is a better mood altogether. Whoopee!
