Weight this morning: 148.4 (still up 4 pounds from pre-Vegas weight. Total bummer!)
My first WW weigh-in in two weeks… I’ve been to Vegas for a week, a girls night out of wine-tasting and sushi, AND the Superbowl with it’s accompanying ill-gotten snack food gains. The scale will not be kind. I could possibly weigh in more tonite than I did when I signed up three weeks ago. Yay for that - NOT!!
BLEH - oh, and my mom. She totally bailed on me tonite! Decided to go and visit my sister instead because she knows she gained weight too and doesn’t want to weigh-in. Way to set a great example there MOM!
But I’m still going. Why? Because hiding from the truth never solved anything. Pretending there wasn’t a gain is stupid. And deep down, I know that seeing an ugly number on the scale will help keep my motivated, focused and on-plan this week. And then I’ll have it to compare to next week’s weigh-in. And I can celebrate that victory. So that’s why I’m going. Hiding my head in the sand is how I got to 220 lbs in the first place - and I’m sure as heck not going THERE again! Not after all this hard work. Besides, I gave away or otherwise got rid of my entire wardrobe. I only have clothes that currently fit or are in my next smaller size (I use that for goal focus.) So I can’t afford to gain any weight - I’d have to go buy bigger clothes and that ain’t happenin’!
The no exercise thing is sucking, btw. My night time routine is totally screwed. And now I find myself in front of the computer… and what do I want to do when I’m mindlessly surfing the net? Why snack of course! SNACK SNACK SNACK!! I have got to figure out a way NOT to do that. I think I might be grounded from the computer again until I can work that one out. Much suckage.
UPDATE
I am SO glad that I sucked it up and went to WW!! I am only up 2.2 lbs! I was sure I was up 4 or quite possibly more. So I had a gain AND I’m super happy about it - how funny is that!
The other reason I’m SO glad I went is that a couple of the women who remember me from last year, stopped me after class to tell me how really great I look. And to ask me questions about how I’ve done it. What the one biggest change I made? etc… We talked for about 30 minutes. So, here I went feeling down, disappointed in my gain, and not really wanting to be there… and walked out feeling thinner, more confident and with a real sense of accomplishment! I’m an inspiration to others! Who knew!!

How awesome is that. Right away you were rewarded with NOT sticking your head in the sand. See what you would’ve missed?! Totally cool. How about this one? Congrats on your weight gain?! I know how you feel. there’s a post on my blog about a month ago where I said something similar. That I was THRILLED with that # even though it was a gain. Hang in there!
