No More Counting

I hate counting. I am over it. I don't want to count anymore. It is discouraging, and if you miss something (if you don't write it down) then you don't lose any weight. This blog is no longer named correctly because I am not going to do it anymore. I would say that the pointsplus experiment was not a complete waste of time, and it wasn't a waste of energy because I am 8 lbs lighter than I was when I started. However, I am not really counting anymore. I can't remember the last time I managed to write everything down for a whole week. But most of all:

SKINNY PEOPLE DON'T WRITE IT ALL DOWN!!!

At Parties:
They have one or two drinks.
They only take one plate of food.
They take the lower calorie options.
They do not take the high calorie things.
If there are only high calorie options, they don't eat.
They cut a dessert in half and eat that.
They don't come back for more.

At Restaurants:
If they have an appetizer it is a salad with a clear dressing.
They have a glass of wine not a bottle, OR a bottle of beer not a pitcher.
They split an en tray.
They split a dessert.

At home:
They have healthier options available.
Snacks are veggies not chips.
Drinks are water not soda, and coffee lacks cream and sugar.
I have never seen a skinny person drink a diet soda. If they have a soda, it is the real thing, but it is only one.

This blog will now be about me trying to make healthier choices like the ones listed above. I will still be weighing in periodically, but I will no longer be counting. I will be avoiding sugar, dairy, fatty meats, alcohol, and packaged foods.
