Food Logs :(

Ok, here I am three days into this health thing.  Yeah, it's a thing.  Yeah, I'm struggling.

Something I love about weight watchers is how cognizant I am about what I'm eating.  What I hate about weight watchers is the food log.  I know it helps me.  However, I hate facing the cold, hard truth...the reality of what I have done. 

Today, I ate something I would normally eat on spring break.  Just a little meal deal.  I tried to search on my phone prior to the drive thru trip, but the McDonald's lady was not that helpful or patient.  So I just ordered my regular meal deal.  Nothing big, right? WRONG!  I normally eat the 2 cheeseburger meal deal with medium fries and a soft drink.  2 cheeseburgers alone are worth 16 points!  That's triple the amount of anything I eat at home or from the box (weight watchers meals).  Then the fries were worth 10 points and the drink was 8 points. 

I didn't log everything until well after my food had digested.  Ugh! I thought about how I felt afterwards.  The guilt.  The shame.  The slight fullness, but 34 points.  I wanted something a little more.  Can you imagine if I had chosen something more worthwhile?

This is the part I hate, analyzing my food.  It's easier to deal with blind hunger and just eating whatever I want.  However, that obviously is not working for me.  Right?

Well, true to my word.  I'm not making huge changes this week.  However, when I make changes next week I think I may add 2 more things.

1) I will pack my lunch for work.
2) I will make snacks for after school while I'm working.
3) I will continue drinking 3 cups of water each day (this is the old change, but I'm keeping it.)

Well, here's to the rest of the week!
