Love/Hate Relationship

I have been a member of Weight Watchers for a month now. I tried the Slim Fast diet to begin with after I had Zo to get rid of my fat. That sucked. I was starving and the shakes were starting to make me sick. I didn't lose a single pound either. Plus, it was ridiculously expensive. When I got to Moscow, my friend suggested Weight Watchers because she is a lifetime member. I was up for anything. The first week I went I lost three pounds and my friend didn't lose anything. Then the second week I gained two pounds and my friend lost two pounds. So pretty much if one of us is happy, the other one is super pissed and depressed and wants to quit Weight Watchers. Well I missed the last week, but just went yesterday to a meeting and weigh in. I lost 5.8 pounds. I was so happy and proud of myself. I only have two more pounds to go before my pre-pregnany weight. So this week I am totally loving Weight Watchers, but wait to hear about my next week's post because I could be hating Weight Watchers. I really think that it has to do with portion sizes and not snacking. Before Weight Watchers, I am pretty sure I was eating for two people and I was not even pregnant. Hopefully I can keep this up.

LOL It's so true.
Some weeks you love weight watchers and other weeks you hate it.
Oh well.
One week we'll both celebrate.

I just found your blog and your baby is so cute! Great job with the weight loss! It's super frustrating and really hard when it fluctuates so much. It sounds like it will come off really soon though!

Something that has helped me get rid of the baby weight is-just like you said-no snacking and eating three good meals (the whole five meals a day thing doesn't work for me). I also do Sunday as my dessert day. I don't eat a dessert or candy or any treats all week long. But when Sunday comes I usually make a fun dessert that I want and I eat a piece and enjoy it guilt free. I don't do well depriving myself, but knowing I have a dessert I can eat on Sunday doesn't make me feel like I am missing out. I hope this makes sense. Anyway, it has really helped me get back to eating how I used to and not for two. Although, I probably was eating for three! hahahaha.
