Hi all! I been on and off weight watchers for about 6 yrs now and finally decided to go back to a meeting today. I lost about 72 lbs the first time around and stopped doing it and gained it back. I tried to do it on and off and in between all the attempts lost about 30 and seemed to stop there. I don't want to say that "oh this time I'm gonna do it" or "I'm ready now" only because these phrases usually didn't hold true to my word. I just want to say that I'm going to give it another try and just take it day by day. I'm one of those type of perfectionist dieters and if I make one mistake then its all downhill from there. I want to change this type of mentality....so with that being said hello and hope to get to know my fellow ww's on this forum!
I'm repeat gainer as well. My first time on WW, but I have lost and gained twice before. I'm determined to not repeat the pattern this time. Welcome back!
Great job! You will do great. I too am one of those all or nothing dieters. This time around I have really learned self control, and you will too! That self control is what lets us live life and eat healthy forever.
My mantra is one day at a time- if I start thinking too far ahead, I get overwhelmed and mess up. I also make it a rule to track every point, no matter how far over I go- owning it seems to make it feel like less of a screwup and easier to just get on w the day. I have gone up and down on ww for years- this is the first time I have really kept off my loss.
I think you are wise to keep your objectives modest and manageable- good luck- I am rooting for you!
Hello and welcome! I so know what you mean, I too am a "perfection dieter". This time around has been a little bit different for me though. I have had many screw ups, however I've just kept pushing forward. I know that weight will always be struggle for me, so as long as I take things one day at a time, that's all that matters. Good luck to you!
Thank you so much...it's great to know that I'm not alone! I lost 1.6 lbs my first w/i and I was a little down because I'm so use to losing 5 lbs the first week but I know that any loss is a loss. Here's to another week of losing!!
Back on the wagon
and hope to get to know my fellow ww's on this forum!
One Day at a time
