Diet Is a Four-Letter Word
Nearly the end of my third week doing Weight Watchers online and my first time eating out. We went to the Old Orleans restaurant yesterday and I just realised I forgot to count the points of the popcorn we had...
I now know that hunger makes me vulnerable. My daughter's dish was served first (fish and chips) and I just had to have a taste... again, not counting the points. But I refused to order a soft drink or juice so I saved some calories there. I calculated I had 25 points at lunch without the ones that went uncounted. That is a lot of calories in one seating... 24 points is what a dieter ought to be eating in any 24 hours!
At least I enjoyed myself - well, enjoyed is a bit of an overstatement with my daughter misbehaving in public and frustrating me and the slow service and mishaps in the restaurant's kitchen. Sometimes I despair that I shall ever be able to have a normal life, you know dating, eating out...
Talking about dating, I placed an ad online and had an amazing response... from Africans! *sigh* Where have all the good men gone? Why can't a woman like me find a companion who doesn't consider her his meal ticket? I feel sorry for my daughter. The more she grows, the more she realises that things are not right.
I'll try to keep busy now, not to think of my problems. I want to make some paper macher Easter eggs. Might be able to sell some. It would be nice to earn some money instead of just spending it on art materials. LOL

hi Tania
Incidentally i found your blog. i am sorry my english are not very good. i am from Greece and i am trying to loose weight too by counting points, exactly like you.
Tania, try to continue loosing weight. it looks like you have a long way but you have to do it for your child.recently a friend of mine with a 3 years old boy "left".
he had problems with his weight and his heart. finally his heart betrayed him.....
you have to be healthy for your daughter. She is your child and you have the obligation to grow her up. try for her....The feeling to watch her growing up is unforgetable.
i'll try to be in touch with you although i am rather busy.
i'll write you soon again
