Very strange night and morning

For some reason I got up last night and ate chips and a WW lemon bar. In the middle of the night! Then this morning I stopped at the 7-Eleven and got 2 raised glazed donuts for breakfast and 2 Hawaiian Punch juice drinks. I still have 16 points remaining for the day so I'm not too upset about it. I'm just not sure why I went cookoo over night. I need to have more 0-3 value snacks for when those times hit me.

It's now hours later than when I first started this post. I got so sleepy that I had to lay down. I feel much better now, still a little sleepy but better. I just had one of the WW lemon bars. They are not as good in the light of day as they are when I'm half asleep at night. I don't really need any special foods since no food is off limits with the WW program. I just have to plan ahead and have better snacks available. Today for lunch I'll have a nacho plate. It's easy and just the right number of points.

I was thinking about the lady I spoke to after WW last night and remembered that she gave me some tips that her doctor gave her for losing weight. She said that I shouldn't swap my activity points for food points, that I should try not to use the 49 allowance points as a matter of course and that I should take two points off my daily target points. They all seem to make sense to me. The less I eat and the more I can move, the more weight I will lose. The last bit of advice she had for me was to drink water! Ugh! I'm still having a hard time with getting that accomplished. The fatigue I'm feeling is so great that I just don't want to do anything. I joined WW one week ago. Today is my one week anniversary and I feel like things are going better than I ever thought they would. I'm still not making the healthiest choices but I'm traking it all anyway. I know that as I go forward that making better selections will come.

There are lots of things that I could be doing to feel fuller and maybe even feel less tired but I'm grateful for the strides that I'm making this first week. I'm actually eating some fruits and vegetables and real meals instead of just candy, junk food and fast food. It's been a week since I've had fast food. That's quite an accomplishment. I know that as I lose weight I'll get more motivated and will do things that are healthier so I can keep losing weight. I'm hoping for an overall weight loss of 5 pounds tomorrow when I weigh in. I really want to go hiking but I know I wouldn't make it far before I got totally out of breath. Oh yeah, that reminds me that I was going to check on gyms today. I'll go do that and post again later.
