The Dreaded Weigh In Annihilated

Yesterday, I wrote about how it is very important to show up for weigh-in. I didn't back down from the challenge and I'm glad I didn't. I lost 4.2 pounds! That is excellent for me, for anyone actually. So, not only did I lose those 2 pounds last week but I also lost an additional 2.2 pounds of new territory. That felt great! I went to SubWay right afterwards to celebrate. SubWay in itself is a healthier option then most fast food options. I wanted to get chips and coke like I normally like to do, but it was SO easy to say no. I saw the cookies there and I would have normally said, "Yeah, three cookies please." However, the last time I went there I had one and it was 5 points! It was not worth that many. I love that type of awareness because I make healthier decisions without feeling the least bit satisfied.
Unfortunately, I ended up eating at Dion's Pizza and pigged out. I have trouble just eating a few slices. I ate 5 of them delicious bad boys. I wasn't too pleased with that. I also drank some whiskey tonight. I am over twenty 20 points, but I am going to take them from the weekly. The progressive aspect of tonight was that I may have normally not even tracked what I ate once I went over the daily points. I was tracking it as I went along. The other aspect of tonight is that I was trying to make someone feel better and provide them with comfort food and drink. I really didn't want any until I came home with the pizza. Next time, I need to not only plan for a healthier option no matter where I go but also mentally rehearse eating less and not feeling cheated out of something. I need to take the overeating pizza incident just like the SubWay cookie incident. I want to be in control in that type of situation.
Mental rehearsing is a strategy that the Weight Watchers program uses. I have always agreed with this strategy because it has helped me on tests, interviews, and sports. Tomorrow I will be going into more detail about mental rehearsing.


Til tomorrow,
Josh
