Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Reporting In 09/19-09/24 (Weekly Goals).

Hi Everyone,

So I am having a really hard time reporting in every day, but thought I would follow up on my weekly goal setting I did for myself last week, which were:
1 - No pop
2 - Exercise 3 times
3 - No snacking late in the evening before bed

So I did really well with no pop until Saturday - I also realised that I had one kid's slurpee earlier in the week.

I exercised twice, so not too bad.
And I did a lot better about snacking at night. Since I am never actually *hungry* I have been trying to just make myself teas I enjoy before bed rather than eating... say... 150 chocolate covered almonds...

I have decided this week that I am going to join Weight Watchers locally. I don't fully agree with all their strategies and think that I will be more generous to myself with the calories as they seem low for an active person my age, but I think maybe the structure will help me get back on track.. at least in the short term. I just can't keep watching the scale go up and up, it is driving me crazy. I feel like I don't even recognise myself. I could ignore my body changing somewhat, but now my face is different too and I can't stand it.
I will try to report in and let you all know how it's going, I could def. use any encouragement!
Anyway, so this week the goals are:
1 - No pop!
2 - Keep up the no snacking late at night
3 - 3 times exercise
4 - Limit chocolate intake to one "thinsations" 3 times in the week (one hundred calorie chocolate bars I am hoping will keep my chocolate craving at bay).

Cheers!
Steph
