So tonight will be my second weigh in. I wonder how many new comers to weight watchers show up for their first weigh in after joining and have gained?! I bet not many. Usually you are gung ho on a diet for at least a week! The gain starts when you start not to see the results in as fast a manner as you wanted. I'm the expert here.
Of course I doubt many new comers to WW go to Julian for the day and have hard cider, wine tasting and mom's pies! NO?! In fact I am willing to bet that most don't get anywhere NEAR Julian. Opportunity was there but my optifast counselor's voice was there too saying "just because you bought the rope doesn't mean you have to hang yourself with it." But I took that rope and made a nice secure knot! I'm over it though. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I did it and now I need to get back on the bike and move on...or stay still in my case with my bike.
I am trying something new with my "mindful eating". 1. Take a bite, put the fork down, put my hand on my lap and chew until it's goo. WAIT! Count 1 one thousand 2 one thousand 3 one thousand...sip water. Pick up fork. I don't pick up the fork until all the food is out of my mouth. I'm leaving one bite of everything. I have this hard fast rule that I have to finish my plate (thanks Dad! Ya I know about the starving kids!) I'm starting with a bite of each item, but my hope is to move on to leave more bites of the high calorie goodness behind if I am full of the low calorie stuff. Being mindful to get enough protein in. :o)
So hopes aren't high for tonight, but I'm going which is big! I could easily talk my way out of getting weighed today!

That's a good plan. Taking a bit, putting down the fork and mascecrating the food to mush. I think leaving food on the plate is hard for anyone over 40. I've never made Fi or Dante clean their plates. Hope all is still going well!
