So I've been on Weight Watchers for a couple of weeks now. Honestly though, the first week doesn't really count. I tried to just eat like normal and see how many points it added up to. It was great- I learned a lot about where I spend my points. I'll usually be on track (unless I go to Chipotle for lunch) until the evening when it all goes out the door. In that last hour before bed I have a tendency to binge on foods with a high point value and blow the whole plan out of the water.
With this problem in mind I headed into the 2nd week. And I was doing pretty well until the dinner break of our 1st 10 out of 12 tech rehearsal. Our director's wonderful mother brought food to the theatre to feed the cast and crew-- and oh my God it was delicious! I jumped off the diet wagon and into the buffet line faster than you can say gastric bypass! Later I was munching on my 3rd sandwich from the Mom buffet when I decided: tech is like Christmas-- no one should be on a diet during tech.
So once tech was over I jumped back on the wagon and so far have been doing pretty good. So far I've lost 2 pounds, gained one back and now I'm on my way back down. One thing that's actually helping me is my lack of social interaction. You see, my favorite thing to do with friends is to eat-- but in Cincinnati all my friends are so busy and I'm always at the theatre so I've been eating out MUCH less often than I did in grad school. At one point I was up to eating out a least once a day.
Anyway- Wish me luck!
