back to points

so back to counting points tomorrow. i have to stop thinking of points as evil and small. and more of plentiful. yes i have 22 points, but some people have like 18! and i was just not utilizing them in the correct way for a very long time. i had a system a long time ago and for some reason the system worked and now i was off that system and disaster striked and i kept gaining and losing.

simply filling definitely helped me out with that need to have sweets all the time. i wonder if there is a way to combine simply filling and points. i'm sure there is. just make sure to eat filling portions of things for my points.

tomorrow is my weigh in. not sure how well its going to be because i just got my period. and i kinda cheated and stepped on my bathroom scale and it said i was 154 point something. i'm ok with that because i know i usually have gains on my period. i'm not gonna punk out and not weigh in either. i'm just gonna take it as it is and keep on trucking. cuz at the end of the day, i'm still losing this weight.
