The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

So I was in a little accident last night. It involved Pizza Hut. And pizza. And cheese sticks. It wasn't pretty, take my word for it. I was going to go through and do the good, the bad, the ugly on my accident last night, but I am trying to stay positive about it because if I get all down on myself then I'll say, oh just forget the rest of the week, and start on that downward spiral. I would skip WI on Monday in case there was a gain that I didn't want to see, and that makes it easier not to go next week, etc.

BUT, that was the old me. The new me is looking at things positively. So here are POSITIVE things that are coming out of my pizza fiasco from last night:

1. I counted my points for all of it. I NEVER would have done that before. But in my mission to stay accountable for everything, I went to WW eTools and put in all of my points for what I ate. And I only had a slight panic attack as I saw the numbers for what I ate.

2. I did not stuff myself. Now, it was a little scary that I could eat that many points and not feel stuffed. But I have a strange relationship with pizza. I could eat it all day, every day. I love it. So when I have pizza, I usually devour everything in sight. My college roommate and I used to have a look for each other if we'd had a bad day and without saying anything, the other would order pizza (Todaros, for all you Clemson people). Then we hit our junior year of college (we were 20) and realized that we had to eat the pizza before 11pm or we had really bad heartburn all night and felt like crap the next day. That was when I first realized I was getting old. BUT, since Christmas I have really tried to focus 100% on not stuffing myself, and I can say I have not done it at all. I stopped when I was definitely full, but I wasn't uncomfortable and I don't feel like crap today.

3. I will go to WI on Monday. The one goal I have really stuck to is that I have not missed a WW meeting, and I am pretty proud of that. I have been to 8 meetings in a row and haven't skipped a week. I know from the past that skipping one week just makes it so easy to skip the next, so I committed myself to 16 weeks in a row without skipping a week. Even over Christmas I stuck to that. Can you tell I'm really proud of myself for that??? So I will not miss my meeting on Monday. If I see a gain, oh well. I will know why I am seeing a gain.

4. I got on here and told you all about it. Now, if someone besides me is actually reading this, it means I actually hit post. I seriously considered just talking about something else. But I tracked my points and my nutrition info on Spark People and now I am going to tell the web world how many points I ate last night. Yup, that's how brave I am. I am going to admit how far I went over my weekly flex points. ................................................. I really will, just give me a minute.

Yesterday's points: 65.5
Weekly Flex Points: Exceeded by 19

See I was able to type that and only fainted once. Whew. So there you go. My confession. Man, I don't feel bad physically from the pizza, but I feel like SHIT from looking at those numbers. Here is my Spark info from the past few days:

I had a couple of other things to post about, but if I don't publish this NOW I will totally lose my nerve. :) So if anyone besides me is reading this, there's another positive!
