Bad week

This has been a bad week for me. For the first 9 days after joining WW online, I didn't really know what I was doing so I just sort of winged it and I was pleasantly surprised at my first weigh in at my 5 pound loss. But, I found myself sitting in that meeting still sort of trying to figure it all out. I really hate the idea of counting calories. And let's face it, that's basically what the points system is.

What sucked for me was that I know I have 36 points to eat in a day. I used a nice chunk of that on my breakfast everyday but then I found myself totally trying to skimp until dinner because I was scared I'd run out of points and go to bed hungry. Well, every single night, I've gone to bed with anywhere from 5-18 points unused. It's a stupid numbers game and a mind game and I hate it.

So, I think I'm going to ditch this whole points system and do the core plan. My only problem is that I think it's dumb that you can't have bread. I KNOW how to eat healthy and I know that bread isn't evil (unless it's Wonder Bread). And I know I didn't spend a ton of money on a grain mill, bread maker and 60 pound buckets of grains sitting in my garage to have a bread-free house. So, I'm doing the core plan to get out of counting points and I'm going to use my 35 weekly flex points to eat my freshly milled whole grain homemade bread.
