VICTORY!

After 2 weeks of plateauing (after losing only 5.4 lbs), I’ve finally gone down again!

Today was my weigh-in, and I’m down 6 LBS total.  I had really hoped that I would lose a bit faster (it’s been 7 weeks) but I’m really encouraged to see the scale moving in the right direction again.

I had given my tracking book to my leader last week so that she could look over it to see if I was making any glaring errors that were slowing my loss. She said I’m doing everything right, which is great, but confirms my theory that my body is just fighting me.

My meeting never fails to entertain me.  There’s one woman in particular who treats it like her own personal therapy session. She dominates the entire meeting. It’s a bit out of control.  My WW buddy becomes livid every time she opens her mouth- it’s always an excuse. A typical conversation goes like this:

Member: “I’m always hungry on the program”.

Leader: “Try eating more filling foods and drinking more water”.

Member: “I don’t like vegetables. I always want chocolate.  And I don’t like drinking water”.

This woman has an excuse for EVERYTHING!! She thinks she can just eat the same way she did before and lose weight. Today she was whining about eating chicken wings.  I suggested she try the buffalo chicken strips in the WW cookbook, but she “doesn’t like cooking”.  I give up!!  She just doesn’t want to try. She doesn’t frustrate me so much as make me sad- she’s obviously not ready to commit to losing weight.  I believe more than ever that the most important part of any weight-loss plan is being in the right mindset.  It just doesn’t work until you commit to it. Simple as that. You have to want to be healthy more than you want to binge eat. I still eat the foods I love, but if I know I’m going out for dinner, I eat a healthy lunch. It’s not rocket science!  I just wasn’t ready to do it before. I am now.

I’ve had a friend visiting this week, and we did lots of travelling and eating in restaurants, so it just goes to show that you can eat more and still lose!  I am ashamed to say that I’ve missed 3 days of the 30 day shred this week.  I’m still on level one, but now that my life is back to normal I’m ready to step up my game and get back at it.

Seriously?

Weigh-In today…I didn’t lose an ounce.  I stayed the same AGAIN this week.  What the HELL!?!

I follow the WW program to a T.  I get all of my healthy guidelines, exercise, etc… and still nothing.  Am I just destined to stay fat forever?  That’s sure what it feels like right now.  My body hates me.

I’m just so frustrated.  Since I started this program, I haven’t felt the urge to binge eat at all- I just decided that I want to be thin more than I want to eat crap.   Today is the first day that I feel like eating everything in sight, since apparently watching what I eat isn’t making a difference. (I know that this isn’t true, but that’s really how it feels right now).

I was CERTAIN that I had lost.  My WW buddy was also certain.  She has commented several times this week that my body has completely changed shape and that there’s no way I wouldn’t lose.  Even my leader couldn’t believe it- her exact words were, “What’s going on here?!”.  She has taken my book home to analyze everything that I’ve eaten.

I hate this.  I really want a big change. I’m working for the change, I’m putting in the effort, so why isn’t it happening for me?  This SUCKS.
