8lbs in 4 weeks Woo Hoo!!!!

I don't know that I can let everyone know how much I love the new points system with Weight Watchers. I think for the first time I have found and eating plan that fits me and I know I could do this for life. Even if Weight Watchers revamps again one day I don't think I will sway from this.
Here are some of the reasons I like what I am doing.

1. Fruits and Vegetables are free.
Now I have never been good at eating fruits and vegetables regularly. Since they are free with weightwatchers, I now add them to every meal, to help me fill up.

2. I have a really hard time sticking to diets perfectly.
Weight Watchers allows me to customize my points around my splurges. By splurges I mean like last week I really really wanted fresh McDonalds French fries. I had them and then just ate a smarter dinner and then I was able to fit them into my points. The week before I wanted a chocolate pie, mainly because my husband tried to eat one without me knowing but left the wrapper on my seat in the car! I honestly couldn’t get that pie out of my mind so 4 days later I ate one and then ate an extra good dinner and I still stayed in my points range!

3. I am still able to go out and eat with friends without feeling limited.

4. I am exercising regularly now.
Not because I particularly love it but it gives me more points so I can have an extra snack at night. I really need a snack at night and because I worked so hard to earn those extra points, it helps me from choosing something bad at night.

5. I am actually losing weight!
I can’t believe I have lost 8lbs in 4 weeks, this is a first for me, that I have steadily lost weight with an eating plan!

So those are a few of the reasons I like my new eating plan. It has so far conquered my past failures, in the past I would have ate the French fries and pie but I would have never just went back on my diet. Previously I would have felt like I blew it. I now realize I haven’t blown it but that there are ways to still have a few things I love and still live healthy. Better yet they taste even better having them every once in a while, it truly makes them a treat!
