Well, I'm back in the saddle again. The weight-loss saddle. I've been throwing the idea around inside the far recesses of my mind for a little bit now about bucking up and going back to Weight Watchers. Finally grabbed hold of the reins and rode that pony back to my first meeting last night in I don't remember how many years. I forgot how scary it can be to make that first step through the doors on your own. In the past I have always had someone to go with, that first time, but this time, I was the Lone Ranger! Turns out though that I have a Tonto and a Silver there as I have an aunt and cousin who go to that same meeting (you guys have to fight it out amongst yourselves which of you is the horse!)
They've recently revamped their program and while I haven't really had a chance to read all my material yet to get a better understanding of the changes, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned with the amount of points they now give you to eat within your day PLUS the added "extra" or "bonus" points you are allowed to use if needed for special occasions. I used to get around 25 points for the day then you had your "extra" 35 you could eat (or not, your choice) called Flex Points and if I remember correctly, the lowest (ie. those skinny wenches) got 20 base points. Now it seems to be that everyone across the board gets almost 10 points higher then add in the big jump in the "extra" ones you can use, if needed, and it seems quite scary from where I am sitting. Bonus though!! Fruit is now a 0 point item!
