It's killing me. I've been (relatively) good this week in terms of sticking to the plan and eating normally. I've even been doing some light exercise. But the craving for a Chipotle burrito is absolutely killing me. The way I get them, they end up being about 16 Weight Watchers points.

I feel doughy and I don't like it. My recent comfort eating combined with no coaching this year has not been good for me. I guess what motivates me now is not so much appearance but the memory that I got a little tired walking up stairs three years ago, and I don't want to go back to that.

Feeling doughy... does that mean that you will giggle if someone pokes you in the belly... 'cause that would be really cute.

I say have the burrito. Or compromise and eat 1/2 a burrito for only 8 points. The point is that withholding yourself from your craving can often make the craving worse and worse until you end up binging.

Indulge, then move on with your eating plan.

Why not have a burrito without the fatty ingredients (a.k.a. good stuff)?

'Cause that's not what the craving is, silly.

That's the thing... my "low cal" count is already without things like the sour cream (which I don't like anyway). I do rice, chicken, hot salsa, and just a little cheese. The real evil comes from the size of the tortilla and the soy oil they put in the rice.

Does WW measure their points on just calories or other nutritional factors?

It's actually a combination of calories, fat and dietary fiber. You can read up on it here:

I ended up sticking to my guns and had the Lean Cuisine I brought for a mere 4 points. I've got 16 left on the day so I can make something "reasonable" tonight.

Not that you ever seemed big at any events I've seen you at in the past, but it's good to read that you and most people I know are all on health kicks right now.

Unofficial support group, like whoa.

That being said, I would kill for a Panchero's burrito.

When I see photos of me from about 2000 to early 2005, in most cases I can see it. Late 2005 I felt like someone different (maybe it was because my clothes were all too big). I've gained back around eight pounds since then, enough to feel it.

If you want to get technical, I need to lose about 40 pounds. That's where my doctor would like to see me.

Good luck with that. I'm about 30 pounds away from my goal. Best of luck to you with your goals.
