A Decision Has Been Made!

Hubby and I did some talking today..

Over the weekend we booked a week-long vacation to celebrate my Mom's 50th.. so we are going to take her, her bf, and my Grams to Florida! We are all super excited, but we are all very unhappy with our current weights, so we are all starting diets TOMORROW.

Hubby is not a skinny man.. and although I can not get his tush onto a scale, he is over 250, easily. Size is not what bothers me, I worry about his health.. as his family has a lot of weight-related diseases and illnesses.

So we talked.

Weight watchers just isn't for me. I dunno. It's not that I don't want to count points or weigh my food.. it's just that I am always starving. This starving leads me to binging, which ultimately leads me to falling off and getting back to my old ways. It is so discouraging and I know myself the best and it's just not for me.

With that being said, we are going to head back to the South Beach diet. We both felt pretty good on it (not hungry, or lethargic, or ravenous) and I need to get myself off of carbs, because they have become an addiction.

Since we still have some non-SB foods in the house, Hubby will work on finishing those up here and there, but I bought only SB friendly foods today at the store, so we are on our way.. slowly.

I'm still going to keep sharing my food on here, because it really does help me stay accountable.

Thank you to everyone who has been giving me some support.. you guys are the best!

  3. Laura,

    I totally agree about Weight Watchers experience. It drives me to a binge almost every time.
