Hmmmmm.............

So...I started weight watchers today, online. I'm hoping because it's high tech I will stick with it and have more fun :) I know I can do this!
So while I was doing the dishes today I realized something. I was thinking about my past failures with weight loss and for some reason it made me think of how I use to balance my check book. The reason I found a common thread with that and weight loss was when I was young...I would NEVER check my account, or keep up on balancing my checkbook and I would spend spend spend and wonder why I would all of the sudden be in the negative with my banking account! With this tracking what I eat (in a non-obsessive way) it made me think how long I've been treating my eating like that old bank account. I would eat and eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, but because I wasn't keeping track (like balancing the checkbook) I found myself gaining weight and going into the +positive+ weight wise. And wondering why. Well...I knew why but I guess I didn't want to admit to myself that things just might be slightly out of control. Even though I want to be eating foods that are more healthy and nutritious... I definitely want to keep track of the amount of what I'm eating each day. In the past when I have tracked weight watcher points on paper, if I had a day that I would consider normal for "past Jenn", and compare it to" ww Jenn"....I would see that I was eating waaaay tooo much! Anyway, it's all about moderation, right? I really like food. I'd really like to be at a healthier weight and live a long life too. I think I'll be choosing the latter :) I can still enjoy food without overdoing it!
