I'm up, back up to 166... and the scale was even WORSE today but it wasn't my actual weigh in day today.
{sigh}
Last week just sent me into a tailspin. I'm not really sure what to do with myself. I promised myself I'd count points once a month for a week and then just watch myself the other weeks. However, last week and this weekend in particular held a few stresses.... and I just didn't do so well. I literally felt myself WANTING food to just calm myself down yesterday. Just recognizing it wasn't enough though. I should've stopped myself, but I couldn't.
And today is Valentines day! We have traditional fondue on Valentines and I don't plan on under-eating tonight either. I love me some fondue, it's my fav. I know that if I deprive myself of this night that I will end-up over-eating another time this week.
But, tomorrow I need to figure out how I'm going to work this life of mine. I'm REALLY having a hard time in the 160's. I feel very stuck.
Thoughts on how to get un-stuck? It looks like I need to keep counting points. No obsess over them, as I can do... but I need to track them, maybe not writing EVERYTHING down... but knowing how many I have left to spend. {sigh}
I wish my mind and my stomach could just do this all for me. :)

You can get back on track easy Hilary! I know you can do it, you've got the determination and look at how far you've already come. I fell off the wagon this week too and went up a few pounds I'm sad to say. It's been a hard week emotionally and my stress eating came right back. Geesh. Here's to a better weigh in for both of us!
I've been tracking what I eat on My Fitness Pal and I think it is amazing how stuff adds up. Stuff I'd normally think was no biggie. I know you've been tracking for a long time now, and you have a good idea, but maybe just writing it down will make all the difference. Even if you don't write down points. Just jotting down (in your phone maybe?) that you ate x amount of x food will help you stay on track that way. And not obsess about the points?
I have gone over calories every single day. But I am getting better at making better choices just because I'm writing it down. (much as I hate it).
