I am doing quite well with this weight watchers malarkey and think I am beginning to get the hang of it. That is until life gets in the way! All the time I am living in my own little bubble, where the world of Vicki revolves around eating what I have planned and nothing else, to stay within my points, with my trusty laptop and Internet on hand if I need to work out points or if I begin to waver, I am fine.

But then life sometimes gets in the way!

Last minute panics at work or I run out of a certain ingredient. I am beginning to cope with these as in my little world I can just readjust my plans. I may be a control freak but have begun to realise I can't always plan for every eventuality.

But then life really does get in the way!!!

Celebrations. My dad's 60th birthday, my mum's graduation. Both reasons to celebrate and I really like to celebrate. Meals out, drinks, take aways, all take their toll on my points and my willpower!! I want to enjoy life and not have to constantly wonder if what I am eating is too much, or working out the points value of a forkful of food before I even eat a morsel!!! I must come across as either boring or insane! I think I could probably quote the points of many of my favourite foods now. I am becoming a weight watchers geek!!!!!!

I realised just how bad it was becoming when, before I went out for a meal, I e-mailed the restaurant chain to find out any low fat options! What is happening to me?

So with the week of celebrations I am in at the moment I have decided to enjoy life and just eat in moderation. Not something that comes naturally, as you can probably tell as I wouldn't need weight watchers otherwise. I will do my best and just not worry too much. Lets see what effect it has on my weigh in next week!!!!!!
