My Concocting Weight Watchers Journey

Even though That Sugar Film is 14 years old, I only just heard about it through a podcast. It's available to watch for free on Netflix. I didn’t expect to be shocked by the content, but I was. I was especially surprised to learn that the USA is the obesity capital of the world. After watching, I don’t see myself eating Cheetos, Doritos, or chips again. I had already cut soda from my diet because of my history of kidney stones, but if I hadn’t, this documentary would have been the final push to quit. I watched the film a...

Late yesterday, I found out that something I had been looking forward to was cancelled, and it hit me hard. For a few minutes, I felt upset and frustrated, like I had in the past when things didn't go as planned.

I’m someone who relies on routines to help manage my anxiety. My Weight Watchers (WW) week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. The week starting September 23, 2024, was a bit off for me.

This change threw me...

I am proud of myself.  I made it through this stressful summer at work and through the September 20, 2024 work deadline.  Here are the items that I have accomplished in the past 30 days: I started to track my food again in the Weight Watchers app August 19th. I have done great staying within my points. I have done great making my 7,500 steps per day. At the beginning of the 2nd quarter in 2024, I started the habit of getting up by 6 am so I could get 4,000 steps in before taking my shower. I would just...
