Hello all!
Well my first WI (doing it online) .... and I lost 5 lbs 
Very pleased.
Today has been an indulgent day - newphew's birthday party, snack out shopping with DH, curry in the evening - and I'm about to sit down and track out my points. As I'm doing it online I could choose my WI day, and I deliberately chose Sat so that I started afresh at the weekend, and then could make up for any indulgences later in the week.
It is tempting to not track today, but I know that i must. It will be easy for me to slide unless I see it in black and white, and become more conscious about the relationship between a choice of food, and the number of points I have to track. Cause and effect 
. For example, I probably didn't really need that extra sausage roll at the party, or even that slice of cake. When I'm mindlessly eating, I lose track. I want to become more mindful of every time I put food or drink in my mouth - to make a conscious choice. A wise choice. I will ask myself: am I really hungry? And would I be satisfied with a more healthier alternative; either another type of food or a smaller portion?
Interesting discussion above. Vajazz love, I know what you mean about treating yourself with food for so long. It's funny, because when in the past I have been mindful about treating myself with non-food stuffs, I find it really hard to do! I think I don't deserve this or that, and I don't reward myself for good stuff. Except with food.
Reading how someone else on this thread (Littlefish, I think?) rewards themselves for every 7lbs loss, I was thinking: but HOW do I reward myself? I felt instinctively resistant to buying myself a nail polish or some such. I feel it's too self-indulgent and that I don't deserve it, when I'm still so heavy. So, I have come up with a strategy. I will reward myself with £10 for every half-stone I lose, and £15 for every stone, and I will put this money in a special wallet, along with a short motivational note to myself. I will save up the money and notes as motivation, but use the money whenever I damn like to buy some nice piece of clothing (in a smaller size!!) If I end up saving all the money to the end, then so be it, I will have a big wodge to buy something nice with.
As for Weekly Points - these are a lifesaver for me. I would love to be the type of person who can be constant, but I can't. My life and my eating is chaotic and inconsistent, and although I'm working on reglulating them both, having the allowance to have big blowouts is vital for me. I noticed this week that some days I had no trouble keeing within my Daily points. But then there's days like today, and it's these days I need the Weeklys for.
