Salad Spritzers

I discovered Salad Spritzers on my trip to LA. I bought the sesame ginger flavor and it was good! 1 calorie per spray. Unfortunately, there is high fructose corn syrup as a main ingredient which isn't great for me or anyone. However, I will try and make my own version. It's a great idea and I have been meaning to try it. I managed to lose weight on my trip to LA due to a largely vegetarian diet thanks to Christina and having no time to eat helped as well. Also, spending hours each day trying to feed my mom minced hospital food and Ensure didn't do much for my appetite. I need to tighten up though, because in my less than 24 hour stay at my sister's house I ate about 6 pieces of pepperoni pizza and three bowls of spaghetti- not to mention Caesar's with mayonnaise and garlic bread. I have sort of continued the trend over the weekend.

Point #3

The quantitative and qualitative difference between what I was eating pre-WW intervention this time and last time is significantly lesser than less - which is positive in the grand scheme of things but stubbornly-quiet when it comes to instant gratification.

What this probably means is...

...less positive reinforcement. Oh, the joys of losing multiple pounds a week! I recall most of us dropped 4 pounds in the first week the first time around, and rarely less than one in subsequent weeks.

...a long road ahead. So I think I cannot expect much in immediate results. I'll have to be satisfied with going from spilling over to less spill-over, to snug, to almost comfortable... Many weeks to go and back to reconsidering the meaning of, and my commitment to "lifestyle change."
