Last night someone said to me "You should do Weight Watchers." I gotta say I was a little offended. Don't get me wrong, this person knows my goals for losing weight. I was offended that this person thinks I don't know what I'm doing.

I'm not an inside-the-nine-dots kind of person, I like details but I hate it when precise details have to guide my choices, especially for food. I don't like the idea of implementing their "Points" system. Too much counting, tracking, obsessing and calculating. Even if it's just for short term, it doesn't sound like fun to me. Plus after I stop tracking, then what happens? I'm not going to appraise everything I eat with a point value for the rest of my life.

She explained to me that the principle is good, that the point calculation isn't just calories but takes into account fiber. Lemme tell ya: I get plenty of fresh vegatables. I'm eating so much more natural foods now that I have EVER! I balance myself very welll with whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies and I have a good grasp on portion control.

I recognize that my biggest problem is snacking. I work in an office where people bring in baked goods and junk food at least twice a week. My problem is that when there's crap to eat, I succumb. What I need to work on is self control. 

Right now theres a dozen cookie and a huge cherry danish hanging out in the kitchen at work. I'm not goin in there.

And that's my diet plan.

@Minutiae:  Thanks so much for the encouragement! It's nice to know that I'm not alone in my quest to avoid office weight gain. It's just that you think "Oh, free donut!" but it ends up being more like "Free inches on my waist!" Plus I feel like everyone else who works here just doesn't care whether or not they stay healthy!
