PointsPlus

So, I'm super behind on updates. I guess I just haven't had a reason to vent. That's pretty much what I use this for anyway. I just haven't felt like writing much lately. I've started the new PointsPlus program and have mixed thoughts about it. First thing, I've been doing WW for 4 years now and I've had to completely rethink everything I've every thought about the program and I've started to trash everything that I've ever saved...cookbooks, recipes, etc. all with the old Points values on them. There are aspects of the program that I like (free fruit and some free veggies) but I also hate that most of the stuff I used to eat has now increased a bit. I get their new plan...to keep me from using my points to eat the crap I used to, but it makes me sad that my 1 pt. fudge bar is now 3 pts! Anyway, in the first week, I lost 3.5 lbs (post Thanksgiving)...but last week I gained 2 of that back. My food scale died so I haven't been measuring and counting this week like I should have but I bought a new one yesterday. I'm honestly afraid that I may not have been eating enough. I've got a rough food season ahead...Christmas celebrated twice, trip to LA, 2 weddings, and 3 birthday parties in the 6 weeks. Boy oh boy...
