Dear WW Philadelphia Member,
I suffer from a fake disease I call food amnesia. I can’t remember breakfast, so I eat it again before lunch...so here are my thoughts about tracking food:
Tracking makes me aware of what I’ve eaten and how much of it I ate. I’m also very aware tracking is a HARD habit to learn and continue...but something interesting about it, people who maintain their weight loss continue to track in some way.
My recommendation has always been, find a way to track that works for you. If you haven’t been "a regular"-- track one more meal or one more day than you did last week. Perfection is not needed, consistency is. About the time you start tracking 4 days a week you’ll be seeing that scale move a little in your intended direction.
If you prefer using paper or a journal, that’s great. Your way is the good way if it's what works for you. If writing down the detail of the meal isn’t your style, that’s okay too. Keep a tally of remaining Points™. That’s the information you need to know.
Or here’s one more idea; aim for a certain number of Points for each meal and snack. For example, if you have 23 Points per day to use, try something like, 6 for breakfast, 8 for lunch and 9 for dinner. By using some ZeroPoint® foods in your three meals you can glean some Points out for snacks and there’s always those weekly Points that can be used anytime they’re needed.
Our Staff is looking forward to seeing your return to their workshops. The power of the meeting is Staff and Members like you encouraging each other. Holding each other up, sharing ideas and food favorites. That’s what makes the Weight Watchers Community strong and Members successful in achieving healthier weights and lives.
