The scale isn't looking good

After a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday the scale reminded me that I ate way to much.  I am out of weekly points and activity points and the next two days are going to be tough.  I am HUNGRY!!! I think I'll be lucky if I hit .5 lbs loss this week. I knew this week would be a bit of a struggle w/ DH gone on business, it being the week before my period and Mothers Day.  I need to stay focused on the big picture I am doing good and heading in the right direction.  Yes perhaps slower than I wanted to but today I was hungry at work and I went and got some chips from the peer group honor system thing and I calculated the points and found that it wasn't worth it.  I went and put them back then went upstairs to the deli & got a banana.  I saved enough points to have popcorn tonight and hopefully that will help w/ the hunger.  I was telling my BFF yesterday that I am losing much slower than I wanted to & I find that very anticlimactic but maybe this will all stick and work this time because I am learning moderation.  I mean for the first time in a LONG time I am making better choices and not throwing my hands in the air because I ate chocolate.  I mean maybe the key for me is going to be to lose slower because I am not being so strict all the time that I FREAK out and give up out of frustration of feeling deprived.  I realized that Wed will make 21 days of following WW!  OMGosh I've been trying to stick to something for 21 days over and over and over again.  And I already see how it is becoming habit because of the better choices I am making and the restraint I am showing.  We have had a bag of fun size twix in this house for almost a week.  I am wanting to eat food right now but only junk sounds good.  I settled for strawberries a banana drizzled w/ Hershey's syrup. Zero points!  

Well one more day until my weekly points reset and we will see if tracking everything I ate today worked again. I have to remember that I am right before my period so my lower weight loss could have something to do with that as well.  Only one more day to make this a habit and only another week to break the bad habit!  I am still in disbelief that I have come this far.  To keep my 2 lbs a week goal this week technically I could just maintain & still be on track. Got to keep my brain in a positive place!!
