The Honeymoon Phase - Accepting the Til Death Do You Part

OK So Far So Good. I'm in what I like to call the honeymoon phase of my program. You've just signed up and you are still in love with the idea of it, that it is changing your life and that it is new and exciting. That is me right now. I'm learning about points. Taking the time to look up every point for every single thing I'm putting into my mouth. Looking at a cracker that I would've covered with laughing cow cheese and plucked into my mouth without a moment's hesitation, but now I'm hesitating. Cause that cracker on it's own is like 1.5 points then add the laughing cow wedge at 3-4 points and pow that is 6 points out of your 29 points for the day. HELL NO!

What I always wonder is how do you stay in the honeymoon phase forever? How do you continue to love without getting bored, frustrated or angry? How do you keep it fresh? How do you stay in love til death do you part?

Everyone knows one of those people, that can smile through it forever and we don't understand them. We see them on Oprah, or on the cover of People Magazine. They manage to start a program, fall in love with it, and take it with them forever. HOW? Don't they have that week, where they !*#% up so royally that it makes them doubt themselves to the core. That it makes them feel weak. That makes it sooooo hard to start counting again? Don't they have that week where they follow it, count every point, exercise like mad and go no where. Lose nothing or even worse gain something? That week where everyone tells you it must be muscle? Then you do it again for a second week, you follow everything to the last letter and pow NOTHING? Don't they have that and get frustrated and pissed off?

The question I ask today and I hope to g-d that I figure out the answer soon, is how do you commit Til Death do you Part? Because I want to be in the honeymoon phase forever. I want this one to be Mr. Right. The right program, that just fits perfectly, adapts perfectly, grows with me until I'm old and gray. I want all the special key chains that WW has to offer my many success stages. I want to reach all my goals and then maintain my weight...FOREVER AND EVER. If I can marry myself, commit to myself then I can commit to anything. EVEN A MAN. GULP.
