No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Ok- Does anyone else do this? I gotta get some info!!
Ok here is the deal- I have followed WW for over a year now. I really kinda quit counting over the last few months sticking within what I know to be a healthy range etc. I ahv lost nearly 30 lbs give and take, but really want to lose the last 10. NOW- I am buckling down, gonna count those points, stay OP. Ok I am gonna do this. RIGHT!!! I am having a HUGE hangup- I have found I become obsessed with this point game and then I am A. Either really hungry because I am eating veggies etc or B. I have fooled myself into thinking I am hungry. When I dont count I have a two point breakfast, a 4-7 point lunch, a snack 2 pts before dinner and then a healthy rounded diiner. When I count points sometimes It seems I am obsessed! I want to ear breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, snack, dinner snack.. what the heck??? It's like I am constantly thinking about food so I am constantly wanting to eat? Does that make sense? Does this happen to you??

Totally makes sense to me. When I think about the points and how many I have left, I am constantly thinking about food and "conning" myself into thinking I'm hungry. Or I think I need something for "dessert" at the end of the day and ALWAYS go over my points. Like last night....I had 0 pts left. I did really great all day....first day in quite sometime. Well, when we got home from Colby's baseball game last night, I wanted something sweet. I made SF chocolate pudding and put some lite cool whip on it. Not too bad, no, but I did not need anything. I was not even hungry! I was so excited that I had stuck to my points and then ended up going over...."but it's okay, I've got FP" NO NO NO!!! That is what gets me everytime!!
Can you tell I'm struggling right now???

Yes. I do become food obsessed when I count. But, I can't do core because then I become REALLY obsessed. Go figure.

When I eat my last point for the day, it really stresses me out. I'm all upset that I'm going to get hungry and then I'm done.
It also sounds like maybe you don't need to count because you seem to control yourself well. You could also try core because you don't count with that.
I found that when I'm worried about points, I really try to keep busy and normally I'll forget about it. I've been completing little projects when hunger hits. Tonight I organized my jewelry, and I got so into it that I forgot to eat. This made me realize that I wasn't truly hungry because if I was truly hungry, I would not have been able to concentrate on organizing.

yes, yes, yes. I find that I am better off not counting. I obsess when I count. I should try core to see if that helps.
How was the wedding? I'm sure you were a gorgeous bride!!!! :)

OMG, yes! That is the worst. I find myself obsessing over points all day. . therefore obsessing over food in general! Maybe the best thing for us to do is always have a zero point or one point "reserve". What I do to try to help this, is always have a peice of fruit after dinner or before bed. I have been also trying a tip (thanks to blogtolose) where I brush my teeth after eating at night, kinda makes u not want to eat anything else.
