Oh look. A book.

This week has been my first week doing Weight Watchers online. So far so good, I suppose. Tracking the points is fairly straight forward, which is what everyone says. Funny how general consensus ends up being correct sometimes. Unlike when people told me the sequel to Dirty Dancing was good. (I feel as though I have died a little inside by watching it.) Anyway, WW is going fine. Before starting it I would frequently skip lunch altogether, so actually having lunch has been a change. I'll be weighing myself tuesdays as that is a day I rarely miss at the gym, which is where the scale is. Come the fall I may switch my weighing days to thursday because that is the night Laura and I go to the gym together and then watch Grey's Anatomy and Supernatural.

Whether it is related to being on WW or if it is because I'm PMSing but I have been starving all week, yet when I do eat I am finding I am getting full quickly. Curious.

So on sunday when I decided to join WW and deal with my eating head on I sought out book recommendations from various sources. I wasn't looking for dieting books exactly, but rather ways to reframe my thinking and develop a different mindset towards eating and food. I decided on 2 books, the first being "Breaking Free from Emotional Eating" by Geneen Roth. They arrived this morning, and by "this morning" I mean sometime between my getting home from the bar at 2am and heading out to work at 7:30am. Seriously, since when do mail delivery guys do the rounds that early!?

Bizarrely early mail delivery aside, I have read the first couple of chapters and a couple things have rung remarkably true with me, while other things seem a bit ridiculous. Once I finish the book (possibly this weekend) I will do a proper review of it but my current opinion is that it might provide some interesting perspectives.

Tomorrow morning I am going to the market. I have saved my weekly flex points to be able to get some delicious baguette, brie, and cured salami that I love so much. I am slightly embarrassed at how excited I am for it.
