I have had a bit of a mortality check recently becauseI have been experiencing chest pains. I went to the doctor on Friday and he told me they are intercostal muscle spasms brought on by stress. Deo Gratias. He told me I need to “destress”, which unfortunately is not happening anytime soon. So before I went to the doctor, I figured I need to buckle down on my diet again. I could stand to drop a size and keep check of what I eat. I have had a bit of a mortality check recently becauseI have been experiencing chest pains.

\nOk, so Weight Watchers<\/i><\/a> works by like this point system. I am not sure how you define a point because it is measured by calories, grams of fat and grams of fiber. For example, 1\/4 cup of rolled oats is 1 point, one glass of skim milk is 2 points, one orange is 1 point. You get the picture. For someone my weight, I would be allotted 20 points a day, plus 35 of what they call “Flex-Points” for the week to use as you wish. However a nursing mother gets 30 points. This is mainly for a nursing newborn, not a 22 month old. I decided to try 30 points to start because I have a real problem with becoming lightheaded and dizzy between meals. To be honest, I am not sure how to survive on 20 points at this stage of my life without being lightheaded and dizzy all day long (no “dizzy” comments please). I lost .4 of a pound, so my husband thinks I should stick with the 30 points as long as I am losing and do not have much to lose. (I have no idea how much I should lose because I refused to look at my weight. I let my husband see and he said it was not much.)
\nI really wish the program was tailored a bit better to extended nursing Moms though. I think the concept is for Mom’s who nurse little babies, and then stop early. It is hard to gauge how many calories or “points” a mother of a toddler who nurses constantly should be taking in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
