first day experiment.

so, just joined weight watchers yesterday with my mommy and my big sister.  :D

i decided to not start counting today, since it is a general consensus that you should start a diet at the beginning of the week.  i don't know why.  but that's what people much skinnier than me have said, so i am inclined to believe them.

i did decide, however, to bring my little tracker around with me and see exactly what it is i've been doing to myself.  i told chris i was going to binge all weekend and start dieting on monday, i then downgraded to just eating normally.

sadly, today is not really the best day to consider 'normal'.

today i am with chris, hanging out in a game shop while he judges a magic the gathering tournament.  i do this pretty regularly.  the whole day we eat fast food, because that's all that's around us and there's not really any place to store our own food if we chose to bring our lunch.  thus, today had been HORRIBLE and i have never felt so fat or closer to death in MY LIFE.

let's start with breakfast.  keep in mind, weight watchers has given me 48 points a day and then a weekly allowance of an additional 49 points.

breakfast at mcdonalds:

bacon egg and cheese bagel:  15 pts.

hash brown:  4 pts.

large sweet tea:  8 pts.

there went 27 pts.

lunch (currently still working on it):

boneless spare ribs (about 12 ounces):  38 pts

small white rice:  5 pts.

apparently the only thing i can eat from a chinese place is rice.  i calculated many other items that i would normally eat, and they are ALL AWFUL.

so you see i used MORE than my points in only two meals.  so my tracker started taking from my weekly allowance, of which i only have about 19 pts left.

oh, wait.  i also have two vitamin waters, 7 pts for both of them.

so i have learned that i am a fatty, and this will have to stop.

peace.
