Staying on track when sick
Oh my gosh! I am so bummed. I was on such a high after crossing the 10 lb mark...and then I got sick. This is the second time I have gotten sick since I joined WW, and it really puts a strain on trying to eat right and exercise regularly. So...what do you do? So far, I have just basically let myself go when I get sick, and try not to feel too bad about it. This week I have continued to track my points, despite knowing that I am not going to like what I see since I definitely overeat when I get sick (unless it's a stomach bug obviously). I'm not sure, but I think this is mainly due to a combo of staying at home (aka boredom eating) and not having the motivation to stay on track. I have searched online a bit trying to see if anyone else had better luck, but it seems that everyone has troubles when they are sick. Most people think that the best approach is to just take a few days and take care of yourself. I like this, although I don't want to give myself too many free passes. After my post about forgiveness, and this post, don't start thinking that I left myself off the hook with my goals!
