Beginning WW

I started Weight Watchers on the 5th of June 2006, and quickly became obsessed. I didn't want to go to meetings, my thought was that I didn't want to sit around with a load of fat women talking about dust (if you haven't seen Marjorie Dawes on Little Britain I can only forgive you if you haven't been in the UK), although my mum assured me it wasn't like that. I decided, however, to join the online plan, which meant that I could do it all in the Internet, without having to do any meetings. I must have spent hours on the site, tracking everything I ate, which included:

Breakfast
1 glass of orange juice
1 serving muesli
milk
coffee
muller vitality raspberry yoghurt drink

Lunch
Mexican bean + tuna salad (kidney beans, butter beans, sweetcorn, spring onion, coriander, tuna, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, peppers)

Dinner
chicken breast
noodles
baby sweetcorn
spring onion
french beans
red pepper
sweet chilli sauce
lemon juice
soy sauce
sesame oil
banana angel delight

Snacks
apple
banana
sugar (for coffee)

Seems I went a little overboard on that day, I had 26 points to play with (points are weight watchers way to make calorie counting easy - you work it out by adding the number of calories divided by 70 to the number of grams of saturated fat divided by 4), and although I managed to have 1/2 a point left, I was calculating every last one! I even only had 1/2 my share of angel delight so I wouldn't go over. My comments on the day were "First day. Quite easy really, possibly getting obsessed with this site??!"!
