It feels like cheating....

I have had a tough couple days w/ eating right, well kinda.  See w/ the new WW P+ plan similar to the old plan you got weekly points. I have been dipping into those weekly points the last two days & I feel terrible about it.  I normally would have said well I screwed this meal up might as well screw the whole day up & eat away.  I am very ALL or NOTHING type of person. I wish I could always be all about losing weight but I mainly stay on the nothing side. So I keep on reminding myself I am not cheating I am still on plan & not to throw the whole thing out the window, which is my first instinct.

SO for example of my splurging yesterday; I had packed my lunch for work like a good girl & when I got to work found out it was chili feed day. The smell filled the entire call center. So by lunch time I had checked out the points value & said yeah I can do that 9 points plus for a cup of chili. So I went & got what looked like 3/4 cup of chili & it was very tasty.  Then I made the mistake of going upstairs by the deli & found out that it was French Dip day. French Dips are one of my FAVORITE MEALS!!!!!!!!  I would even eat it for Breakfast. So I have no idea where my will power went but I went & got the special & Oh my it even came w/ Potato Salad. I only took a couple bites of the salad & ate 1/2 of my French dip but I felt sooooo bad after eating all that food. However I put it all into my tracker & still have points left for dinner, not many but some so I used some weekly points for my snack that night. Then today I decided to budget my points to allow for my breakfast splurge of a breakfast sandwich from the deli at work, around 8 points +. But there is something about that sandwich, I don't know how but the English muffin w/ egg, ham & Havarti cheese makes me want chocolate. I always have this undesirable urge to eat chocolate after I eat it & I normally do. So I ate my Kashi Golean peanut butter & chocolate, another 5 p+. All this week my breakfast was costing me 4 p+: Oatmeal & strawberries.  Today's was 13!!  So needless to say I had to used some weekly points again.

As I said in my last post I have been saving my weekly points for date night tomorrow night w/ my hubby. I am concerned about the weigh in being after the day I am planning on spend all my weekly points. I was thinking about going to a meeting tomorrow & weighing in but I don't think they count any weight in besides your official day & my is Sunday. I've been weighing myself at home & on Wed was thrilled & in disbelief at what I saw, the scale said 165.8, I weighed two more time to make sure it was sure about that. But I hadn't used any of my weekly points at that point so now the scale has gone up a bit. And I don't know if my scale & the one at WW matches, I forgot to weigh myself before I left for the meet ting on Sunday. 

So possible weight in tomorrow instead of Sunday, stayed tuned for the official results.
