HWW: Honest and Ranty
Posted by Alli on February 13, 2008
The folks over at Two Moms In A Blog have changed Weightloss Wednesday to Health-Wise Wednesday, so I will do the same.
Due to travel I missed my Weight Watcher’s meeting this past Saturday. I am looking forward to going again this Saturday and seeing how much, if any, I have lost.
If I were to be honest, I would have to say these past few weeks have been hard. (If I weren’t honest I would say something like, “Losing weight is FUN! And EASY! And I lost 20 pounds in 3 minutes!” or something.)
At the meetings Cindy asks if we have trouble spots to share and a lot of people said they have a hard time at night. But for me, I am realizing the hardest part of the day for me is the afternoon. I’m not a night time muncher. I feel nonstop hungry from noon until after dinner. And after 7, I’m feel no hungry.
Which brings me to a bit of a rant: I’m getting a bit sick of people who talk about their WW journey and how when they follow the points they never feel hungry. I think that is crap. I am counting my points, writing it all down, very aware of what I put in my mouth and in what portion, but I am still hungry. I. AM. STILL. HUNGRY. And finding zero point foods is exhausting. There are only so many celery sticks and pickled okra you can eat. I crave carbs (specifically tortilla chips and potato salad) in large quantities.
And since I decided to be honest and ranty today, I admit I am having a hard time with exercise. I know I can’t lose weight with just changing my food habits. I have to move and groove. And moving and grooving seems to go against my love for sitting on my butt. I’m hoping once the weather changes, we might be inspired to move and groove more outdoors. But I can’t hope for the future, I have to do something now. (Someone ask me next week how many times I did my Walk Away the Pounds DVD.)
So there it is: honesty (it is hard and I’m hungry) and ranty (stop telling me I won’t be hungry!).
Do you have any Health-Wise Wednesday posts?

People who claim they’re not hungry are LYING. They’re either subsisting on lettuce and pretending to love it, or they’re not following the system. I deal with it better the longer I stay on the program, but when I first started, I felt like I was ALWAYS HUNGRY.

I feel so much better hearing (reading) someone say (writing) that.
