Weight Watchers Innovation
So today is Saturday and I’m not having a 100% brilliant day. I suffer from chronic Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and whilst sometimes it doesn’t bother me at all, sometimes it can be horrible and really affect my life. It can often make me feel like an incontinent old woman or give me painful constipation. I know you are probably screwing your face up at this point thinking TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!! But this is my reality and they say that a silent disease is a dead disease. If you aren’t sure what IBS is, check out this videoToday hasn’t been a good day in terms of IBS, but I think that is down to me being a bit worried about my job which is officially “at risk”. I had a bad experience working at St Helens Council in 2007 and left under very stressfull circumstances, so working for GMCVO has really restored my confidence – I would be gutted to have to leave. 
But anyway, the title of this blog is Weight Watchers Innovation and that is what I am waiting for in anticipation. I have been following the Weight Watchers points system on an off with a variety of succcess for about 10 years. I have lost 3 stone and put it all back on again in a yo-yo stylie and I have to admit, I have got a bit bored with the whole thing, although I know that it works. I
However, I got an email from Weight Watchers about 10 days ago which said:
It’s new.
It’s breakthrough
It’s coming.
November 7th
So after trawling the internet today (a day early), I found this Daily Mail piece about it. Which sounds like they are ditching the points system in favour of something which sounds more like a healthy eating plan than a diet. Shying away from calories and fat and centering on the amounts of protein, carbohydrate, fibre. Obviously all will be revealed tomorrow, but it does sound like a huge change and something that might even kick start my own bum into bridesmaid weight loss.
So I will find out exactly what the craic is tomorrow and even though I am going for a full on Sunday dinner at The Lowry in Salford, it doesn’t mean that I can’t check it out and make a plan. Brillo pads. xxx
Today is Wednesday
Hello there
Today is 16 days until the latest Harry Potter film is released….24 days until we go to the Good Food Show at the Birmingham NEC and just over 7 weeks until I break up for Christmas! A lot could happen in 7 weeks, I might win the lottery, I might get made redundant and I might win a competition to visit New York for free…… *fingers crossed*.
Today though, I hit a slightly depressing bump as I have had to buy a size bigger work trousers. for a girl and I would imagine for most people (unless preggers), this is something we all try to avoid. I am one of those people that seems to be on a constant diet and has probably paid for the director of Weight Watchers®UK’s last 3 BMW’s. However, I ironed a top the other day that I have had for about 15 years and it still fits me! One can only assume then, that, on average, I have stayed roughly the same size throughout. Go Figure.
However, my sister is getting married in April 2011 and the very last thing I would want to be is a fat bridesmaid – I would like to look nice…. so for the (seemingly) 54th time this year, I am going to try to lose some weight. I promise not to wang on about it too much as I even bore myself, but I will tell you about my endeavours – good or bad.
Love Gill x
p.s. it doesn’t bode well does it, that I chose a picture of cakes to accompany this post
