Well, I need some help! I started my weight loss in January and by May had lost 37 pounds...I was on a roll! Weight Watchers, The Center and my amazing will power were working wonderfully together. I was happy and actually felt pretty damn confident, which was pretty good for me. Yes, I am one of those that needs that reassurance and this weight loss was really pushing that away and I didn't even realize it. My friends and family were SO supportive, helping me, complimenting me and just being there for me!
Summer came and I was still working at it, but not working hard like I had been. Then vacation came and then stress hit me! I am a stress eater...not a good thing.
So here I sit telling myself every morning I am ready to start this weight loss again...but then being a teacher, there are skittles, Hershey kisses, starburst, etc sitting on my desk. I think, "oh one or two are not going to hurt!" Wrong, I don't stop at just one or two. By the end of the day I have filled my body with horrible food that I told myself that morning I was not going to do!
As I was getting ready this morning something just hit me....and it hit hard! I can do this! I have done it before what is stopping me now?
I am not writing this for sympathy, I am writing this to call myself out on it! I am asking for your support, not that anyone stopped. I have to do this again! I know I can!
Thanks for listening! And if you see me with something I do not have enough weight watcher points for take it away! Be mean if you have to! :)
I was probably not a good help at Applebees the other day. "Oh, just get the dessert!" :) I'm in the same boat though. The fact that we are going to be on a beach soon is my motivation now... Maybe you need something as a goal (a trip, an event that is coming up, etc.) that you want to be at your ideal weight by. ???
ReplyDeleteGirl - I know EXACTLY what you mean. I started in January and lost 20lbs by the summer, then stopped when my brother's wedding came around (everything just got so busy for a couple weeks there) and then just completely stopped. Grrr.... I have trouble getting that motivation back. I eat out of boredom. Why do I do that? Ugh - let's get back on track, ok? :)
ReplyDeletei know you can do it. and so do you. it's totally a mind over matter thing. try always having gum or something so that you know you have that in your mouth and don't put the candy in. like the sugar free gum they always talk about on biggest loser.
ReplyDeletei will be there for you.
you still look amazing!!
Go back to Weight Watchers they are the best living plan. Not just losing plan. Also get yourself a stress ball and grab that when you are hungry instead of a handful of goodies. Park your car farther away from the door, getting in a little exercise when you least expect it. Grab your shoes and go for a walk. These are just a few baby steps to getting back on the wagon.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your support!
ReplyDeleteChristine- I made the decision to get the dessert =)
Beth- Back on track :) I went back to The Center today and it felt good..wore out, but good!
Cassie- You always say I look good..thank you for that! It helps boost that confidence =)
I am back at Weight Watchers full on, not just online, back at the meetings and having them weigh me in and working out at The Center!
