Weight Watchers

I've been on weight watchers now for about 5 weeks. So far, i've lost some weight and i hope to loose a lot more in the next couple of months. But being on this program has made me crazy. Food is constantly on my mind. What to eat, how much, when is my next meal, how many points do i have left, i'm still hungry. Those are a few of many food related thoughts i have all day long. I also have "exercise thoughts" What can I do to burn calories? am i going to be able to go for a run tonight? Do i even feel like going out in this weather? Sometimes i just feel like screaming. I hate how my body gains weight so fast, I hate how i have stretch marks from my pregnancies, I hate that i don't fit into any cute clothes for the summer. It is quite overwhelming for my to deal with all these thoughts. I consider myself a confident person, and so all this makes me feel un-balanced. I know we all have our insecurities, but being on weight watchers, has made them worse. I feel like everyone is watching my every move and if this doesn't work, that i will be a complete failure. It's a lot of pressure and therefore this process is not fun at all. I do enjoy being able to exercise, and so far running has proved to be a lot more fun than it once was. I understand that I need a plan in order to reach my goals but all I can say is that it sucks, and i'm still hungry.

  1. I hear you friend. I would like to be happy for my friends who find it so incredibly easy to lose weight, but I find it difficult. "Breast-feeding is the miracle weight loss system".... NOPE! I have those momentus stretch marks also, and the severe muffin top over my incision scar from my C-section. I WAS doing pretty good with counting calories (I used an awesome online site) and working out with Jillian Michaels (30 Day Shred). I dropped quite a bit of weight before Christmas. I never actually enjoyed it, though. When I was pregnant again, all my efforts left and I have yet to find the motivation to get my butt in gear. Arghh. I share your frustration. I don't like being hungry either!
