Being brutally honest with myself….

Today I was super frustrated with the sale. My first official week back tracking on WW & I was losing and now I am gaining.  I was so hopeful for a 10 lbs weight loss at my WW meeting this week and then hopefully break into the 160's (according to my scale at home that differs from WW by 1.6 lbs) by Thanksgiving.  This morning when the scale read almost 3 lbs heavier than a few days prior I was annoyed. I thought how unfair this is that I've been dieting this week and seeing a gain.  I then reigned in my thoughts and said no I will be good today and keep on going because quitting isn't going to get me to my goal any faster. As I was sulking I thought well I didn't track EVERYTHING, there were some things I left out figuring they were fine based on the points I had eaten earlier that day.  I decided I needed to be brutally honest with myself. I sat down and tracked EVERYTHING that I had missed. These were mainly dinners and evenings snacks for two days and some Lemonade that I am obsessed with.  This lemonade alone was 11 points per bottle. And I drank two bottles in two days. 11 points is almost half my daily points.  I sat down and tracked it ALL. I am negative about 30 points for this week. The truth isn't fun but I can realize that I did screw up. knowing if my points were where they should have been I would have continued losing.  Track it all people it keeps you honest and you can realize why you're getting the results you are getting.
