The thing with consuming less calories for me is THINKING about how I can't eat whatever I want. I think about food way more than I did when I could eat whatever. This I know is part of my alcoholic mind. I know my thinking is different but I am sure others can relate to a sort of obsession of thinking about food when you can't have it. When you first get sober you think about alcohol a lot. I mean it was what you looked forward to, what your body wanted and when you don't get it anymore well you tend to obsess. I know I have that with food on some level. There are Overeaters Anonymous meetings but I like my AA program. I have no desire to do another 12 steps for eating.

I know why Weight Watchers gives nursing moms 14 extra points...because we are still sooooo effing hungry!! I would only get 26 points not nursing but with only breastfeeding I get 40! I use them all too! Today has been hard hunger wise.

It was unseasonably cold this morning so I didn't walk when I normally do. I waited until about 3pm which made it a crisp 52 degrees. I walked 2.09 miles. The last .2 was with a baby in my arms. E got upset at the end so I carried her the part. It was hard. I wish I got extra points or steps for CARRYING a baby. I am walking with my friend tomorrow morning. We are going to breakfast after that. I went ahead and looked at their menu so I could plan ahead what I was going to order. Yay for planning.

My weakness is sweets. I love Dr. Pepper too. I found the smaller tiny cans of the regular Dr. Pepper so I can still have my fix. I should buy a few Diet Cokes too. Diet Coke is 0 WW points.
