To make a long story short, I just got overwhelmed. I had a tendency just to take on too many things and, as a result, I get stressed and overworked. I am just not good at establishing balance in my life.<br /><br />After much thought, I decided to cancel my membership with Weight Watchers. I do think it is a good program and I know that it does a lot of people a lot of good. But I just wasn't taking away from it what I needed. Starting Monday, I'm planning to start following their eating guidelines again to re-establish some structure in what I'm eating.<br /><br />For me, however, the $40.00/month was starting to be a waste. In order to make WW (or any program for that matter) work for me, I need to start addressing some core issues. Namely this is why I turn to food for comfort instead of working out what the real issues are. It is a band-aid that ultimately does more harm that good. Unless I address the cause, the effect will always be the same. I might go back to meetings at some point when I can get more out of them.<br /><br />I will continue to post to this blog with my food journals but am planning to spend more time posting at <a href="http://andreainblue.blogspot.com">http://andreainblue.blogspot.com</a>. The focus there will be more about life in general. I've spent too much time obsessing over every morsel that goes in my mouth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32905622-7871273025633353092?l=andreainww.blogspot.com'/></div>Andrea in Bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11614322718073272834noreply@blogger.com1
