The results from my first week on the Core Plan at Weight Watchers proved positive. I lost a little. I thought I would lose more. I expected I would. But I still lost so that is good.


I posted about the differences between the Flex and Core plan on my personal blog today.


One of the big differences about the Flex plan (one with the Points) and the Core plan is that you eat until you are satisfied. This, my dear readers, may be the reason for not losing at least a flipping pound this week.


Satisfied? How do I figure that out? I always ate until I was full or finished my plate and that was it. That is the way I was raised. “Are you full?” That was always the question when I would announce being “done” with dinner.


But being satisfied is a totally different thing.


One dinner last week I remember realizing that I passed up “satisfied” a while back before arriving at full. My kids went back for seconds and I just followed them into the kitchen for another round. Never figuring that the kids were served a lot less then I was. It was just habit. If we have more I should help finish it up, especially something so yummy!


My second problem. My wife is a good cook.


I asked her if she could serve us food and then throw everything left away before I even begin to eat. She brought up all the wasted food, money, people in the world that could use both, and other stuff that just made me hungrier. She did not go for it. It still seems like a good idea to me.


I guess my appetite is bigger then my conscience.


I could use some ideas so if you have any please let me know.
