measi's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re-evaluating the weight loss plan South Beach has gone out the window. Too much deprivation, too much misery, too much feeling of "I can't do this." It led me to desiring-- but usually resisting-- the urge to sneak food. I should never, ever have to sneak food to eat. No one should. And I will add that I didn't lose any weight on the plan in the month and change we were on it. I dropped five pounds *after* the first initial two week hell period (where I lost nothing... their claim of 15 pounds is bullshit), but gained it right back, and now am sitting right where I always... hovering around 270. *sigh* So Erich and I are going to start Weight Watchers on Friday. It has much more flexibility for food than the no/lo-carb diets do, and if we're too busy or too tired to cook, we can eat one of the Smart Ones or Lean Cuisine TV dinners (both which have WW points on them) and stay on-plan. That might have been one of the biggest problems with South Beach-- we just didn't have the desire to cook every night. And it really requires you to. So here's hoping that it'll work. *sigh* ~ Mel. 10:06 a.m. - 28 April 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
