Sunday 1-20-13

Sunday Jan. 20, 2013:  Isn’t this supposed to be getting easier?  I know…it takes time.  But still, this is hard.  I stressed over Sunday dinner because my mom is a really good cook and she never measures exactly what she is putting into dishes she makes.  So how am I supposed to calculate how many point that twice baked potato is when I don’t know what went into its creation?  Luckily, Mom is on Weight Watchers too so she and I talked it out and came up with some numbers.  But I have a feeling that Sunday dinners are going to be rough.  We will see.

This being my 3^rd day was the first day I was around my whole family while on the new program.  I felt strangely uncomfortable at first, but that was all in my head.  I don’t want others to feel like they have to eat differently just because I am around.  I don’t think anyone feels that way but it is still hard not to feel a little different.  I am still staying positive about my progress.  It is one day at a time and I am okay with that.
