Breaking free from the comfort zone!

I've decided to start doing Weight Watchers again. I'm doing it the free way this time. I'm not signing up for meetings or online stuff, I'm just using my Points calculator and a free recipe builder that I found online. I guess I've been doing this for about a week or so. Probably a little less. I've been making better choices. For instance, I'm not eating all of Sebastian's scraps that he doesn't eat, I'm just throwing them away. I also have stopped eating his snacks. Before, I was sharing all of his snacks with him. Totally mindless. I'm staying near 20 Points a day. A couple of days I have had treats, but definitely in moderation. I don't want to deprive myself of any one thing. If I want some candy, I'll eat some, but not the whole bag, you know? I haven't actually weighed myself for a while, but the last time I was at the doctors office, I was about 150. You know, that comfortable number that I keep coming back to and have been for years. I don't want to be 150 just because that's what I know. I want to see 130! Wow, what would that be like? Some of my jeans that were fitting a couple of months ago are now very tight and I hate that. I think that I'll be using those jeans as one of my measures for success. I have found already that the more prepared I am, the better it goes. I have breakfast for about 3 points, and then I plan my mid-morning snack. Usually I have a Smart Ones for lunch, and then an afternoon snack. Throw in a sensible dinner (usually a WW recipe) and you've got a great day. Planning and preparation are key. So, here's to good eating...
