This post was originally going to be titled “Caught Redhanded At Toy Fair” because while at Toy Fair this past week I was approached by several people asking “So, how is Weight Watchers going?” Usually these encounters happened right happen after I finished eating some sort of fried passed hor’derve (which in my defense was all I ate all day soooo, I am pretty sure made each small appetizer about a point each ;) ) and then it happened- at Lego. I was approached by a sweet lady who asked me about my Points Plus Journey- while I was eating A BROWNIE. I felt like Kirsty Ally getting her photo taken eating a icecream cone after shooting a Jenny Craig commercial.
{insert guilt here}
There was no way I could justify a brownie (or the french fries with the girls before that). Truly- there was food every where you turned and I mean hello? Who can turn down a Cake Boss cake?
I Spy with my little eye- someone cheating on Weight Watchers.
But when Esther came over to me (and my brownie)…. I thought “what am I doing?”
I worked hard taking 4-5 Zumba classes a week and counting points to lose 5 lbs in one month. I wasn’t thrilled with “only” 5 lbs, but I sure as hell was even less pleased thinking about how I may have just threw that away for convenience & temptation during a trade show.
I am not weighing myself this week because it will only get me down. I know I didn’t lose- so I will just chug along and hope for more will power next week.
Sometimes it takes some time to get in the groove of a diet- and that is ok as long as you keep trying. I think this time around – for me at least, it is because I do Weight Watchers Online (and I really only use my phone app) so I don’t fully “GET” the new plan. And when you don’t get something, you are easier to just give up, give in and cheat. Its a vicious cycle- but I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet because I still believe in Weight Watchers because of my past success.
I know many of you have experienced this- I’ve read your comments, spoke to you on Twitter, through emails and in person. So I got in contact with Weight Watchers for us! and they have agreed to do a Q&A session here on the site!

Leave your questions in the comment area.
I will be taking questions through next Wednesday 2/23 and submitting 10 questions to Weight Watchers.
I am planning on posting the answers the week of 2/28.
