Success

I've been reading success stories on the WW site this afternoon. One woman lost 200 pounds!! There is a section of people who have lost 100+ pounds and since I have to lose more than 100 pounds I read that section. It was motivating and scary. I worry that I won't be able to lose the weight that I have to lose. Most people said that they did it by having small goals and just looking at that instead of looking at the big picture (no pun intended). I can lose 5 lbs. I can do that. Right now I need to lose about 5 lbs to get to the 20 lbs. lost mark. If I just focus on 5 lbs. I can do this. If I think of doing more it just won't happen because I'll become overwhelmed. Heck, I'm overwhelmed already.

I don't know what to eat. I need a manual for what to eat each meal. LOL Seriously though, I just don't know how to put meals together. I'm going to have to do more research and figure out how to plan meals. I know WW has cookbooks but I need meal books. There is a page of Power Foods and that's where I need to start. There is also a quick start guide for putting meals together that I can use. I've been just trying to come up with things myself and that has not been working. I always seem to have too many carbs in my meals. I've got to get this figured out or I'm not going to lose any weight. I want to eat things that I like but I also want to eat healthier.

The Power Start handouts have menus in them but there's too much in them that I don't like. I guess I could give it a whirl though and just change out the things that I don't like with things that I do like. I wonder if other people have the same trouble that I have. I've tried following other peoples meal plans but I end up not liking too much of it and give up on it. I tried eMeals and The Peaceful Mom's meal plans but didn't like either of them really. I'll have to see if there is more information on the WW site or other online sites. I have found some sites that give PP values for meals but they don't always appeal to me because they seem too fancy. I want simple.

I am going to have to come up with a plan though. It's grocery shopping day and I haven't gone because I don't know what to get. What do I put together to make a healthy PP value friendly meal. I'm thinking that looking online is my best bet. Time to go research.
