Addicted?

Even with two holiday parties this past weekend I was still down 1.2lbs at weigh in last night! I was pretty excited about this since I only went to the gym twice and I usually do three or four times a week. It was hard, after my work party on Sunday I didn't want to go to the gym, all I wanted to do was go home, put on my PJ's, and watch movies (at 2pm, lol). And that's exactly what I did (well after about an hour of Christmas shopping). Its been harder for me to get motivation to go to my new gym because I just loved the old one so much. I've been thinking that if I don't like the YMCA after about a month I may change back to my old gym (which was a great all women's gym), but it is really expensive there and the prices are going up after the first of the year. I managed to get to the gym on Monday, and I must get there tonight because I'm going to be taking probably Friday and Saturday off since I'll be away.

I'm also really trying hard with the food. It seems like everywhere I go there's something to tempt me. Today at work they had a happy holiday breakfast to thank employees for their work. Well I had eaten my yogurt and fruit but my coworker asked if I wanted to go to the breakfast. I said I would just go over there for the walk and then I ended up eating 4 slices of bacon! That's 5.5 points people. I just feel like so much of the time I have no self control. I wish I could eat like a normal person and not be thinking about food all of the time. Before WW all I could think of was the junk I was going to eat next, and now in WW all I can think about is planning my meals, and how many points are in a certain item. Sometimes I feel like an addict with the food, I just can't stop. But with a drug/alcohol addict at least they can give up their vice. You obviously can't give up eating or we'll die. Its really hard to find that delicate balance but I'm working on it and since starting WW I have gotten better at it.
