After a week or so...of having no will....some thought....looking at those 'holes', I am doing something new.

I am going to do weight watchers, combined with vegan'ish, with a raw slant. I have tried this before...but weight watchers has a new plan out right now where fruit is zero points...well one is, not sure if you had 5 bananas in one sitting if that would be but I will find out soon enough with the etools option which is more accurate. WHICH apparently I have been paying for for over a year and didn't even know!

The idea is that if you've used your points for the meal/day and are still hungry you can have fruit instead of quitting the plan and eating a bag of cookies. I feel this was my exact problem doing ww in the past...so I'm glad to see they are folding in the raw vegan (fresh fruit and veggies) for ultimate success.

I am happy about this. I will continue to blog here, but maybe just once a week, or if something interesting happens....but maybe everyday, I don't know! I will definately be using raw to my advantage and look forward to the boundaries that ww has because I really do need boundaries and in previous blog posts I was beginning to realize this and try a few different boundary options...as a way to still have some cooked foods as I just seem to Panic at some points with the all raw philosophy. NOT that I don't believe in it, I think I'm just too anxious of a person to relax and enjoy it, I really do panic and it's sooo not helpful!

So I know I'm making friends with the other side, lol...the whole other school of thought on 'diet'ing ...but I need some success and that's the bottom line.

Cheers guys, bottoms up on a yummy smoothie :)

    I look forward to hearing more about how you like their plan. As a person getting over food addiction/emotional eating I couldn't handle WWs. I did it a couple years back and my problem was the meetings. At my site they were always selling their newest processed foods and the store was FULL of them. It wasn't a healthy environment for my mentality. However, I've a great friend that used WWs to release 70lbs and it worked beautifully for her. (Note: I did lose weight on it, I just started to dread the meetings and all of the WW food in stores - an online option might have worked for me.)

    I do hope you post here on your progress. I have found that daily blogging keeps me accountable and also helps me to not 'forget' what I'm doing.

    Thanks guys...I am there, I do the online version...lol. Same, same...the meetings tips and stuff mostly don't apply to me because I aim for a vegan diet, and can't eat their processed crap anyway cuz I can't eat whey protein without getting a large amount of canker sores...so basically, I take only the program itself, so no point in doing anything but online.

    I have food addiction issues too, so I couldn't do Just WW, I am also folding in vegan and gluten free...which I need to do for endometriosis anyway...but helps eliminate a lot of addicting foods. Except salt. I will deal with that once I have the vegan, gluten free thing down better.

    Thanks for the invite to continue blogging here :)
