Hope Floats

I tried the new Points Plus program at WW last week. I did not track on paper. Instead I used the nifty little foodie calculator I paid $5.95 for. I love it. I had grown tired of tracking every morsel on paper. I firmly believe that if this program is supposed to carry me through the rest of my life then it needs to be more user friendly. The little foodie calculator let's me figure out food points and decide wether or not to spend their value.I like that fruit is now free. I hated the idea of skipping a banana or other favorite fruit in oder to SAVE points for foods that the human body needs in order to function. In truth it never made sense to me that fruit and veggies became limited. While I agree that stuffing yourself on fruits and veggies is also unwise I am less likely to do that. I have never had a problem with foods that are healthy for me, silly.  Thanks to the WW scientists for getting your heads out of your butts :)

I now feel like I have a method to overcome and survive the difficult path of choices (less crap in equals better quality of life without). I am more likely to stick to this program knowing that when hunger rings the doorbell in my tummy I can secure the entrance with things I like and enjoy. Best of all there will be no GUILT over it. I call that a WIN win...and by the way I lost 4.2 pounds.
