Just a little vent.....

Those that know me, know when I eat right and follow a plan they way it should be followed, I follow it without fail. So when people say things like Weight Watchers didn't work for me or Atkins is all about eating cheeseburgers, I get defensive! Maybe a little to much. So yesterday someone made both of those comments. If I remember correctly, when I did Atkins 5 years ago, I never touched a cheeseburger, piece of pork bacon, whatever. I followed the book, from the first two weeks to everything that should be followed. Just got to a point, where it was to restrictive traveling as much as I do. So I just went back to eating WHATEVER. But this poor girl, I jumped down her throat. I know I shouldn't have. But I hate it when people think they are following a plan and they aren't. So then later on someone asked the points of something on Weight Watchers and that they weren't following WW because they didn't want to be told what to eat, but they were just wondering what the points were. When I follow WW, like last year, or I am trying to do again, I eat what I want. WW is about learning correct portion size and learning whats important. I never didn't eat what I want. I built it into my day, if it meant my daily points, my weekly points or I had to work out a bit more to pay back those point. SIMPLE as that! I remember splurging at Sonic, special dinners, whatever. I just wish people would figure out if they want to follow a plan, learn what the plan is all about that's all....

Anyway... the winter is upon us here in Cleveland. (Did we even really get a summer, really????) My yard is covered in snow and I hate it. I hate the fact that I hate going out when it gets cold. I become a hermit for months. I sleep, eat and not much else. Scott said last night unless I am officially diagnosed with SAD, he wasn't taking me for a weekend in Arizona in Jan or Feb. MMMM... wonder what the doctor would say.... LOL... I'll probably just hold off for Utah in May. I just have to get past this and deal with it. I live in Cleveland, I have to move on with my life and do things. I cant let this get to me!!!!!!
