Susan,
Good to hear from you.
Most important thing is don't quit.
After a weekend last week of having the boys over (pizza), then a tailgate party at my brother's (beer on tap and brats).....I posted a loss today of .2....yep POINT two pounds....and I'm doing the because I went back and weighed in! Just the fact that I went back.
You all know I've been down this road before....a great first week, then I get a big smug (I call it cocky) then am TOO good to myself, 'cause after all, I just had a big loss! A couple of days before weigh-in I panic because I cannot possibly post a loss on Thursday so then I think," I'll weigh in on Saturday, cause SURELY I'll have a loss by then!" and I can redeem myself. And my leader from Thursdays won't know that if I had weighed in on that day I would have had a "bad" weigh-in....
Then I said STOP!
Who am I kidding? Perhaps I'm finally growing up. This is not about fooling the scale. Or fooling WW or fooling my leader.
I'm only fooling myself.
I went to my meeting, faced the scale and finally realized that I truly am on a "live-it" .......not a diet. I have to stick with my plan and not give in after a bit of adversity/bad choices shows up on the scale.
There will be many obstacles to my goal in the days, weeks, and months ahead. I will be faced with many choices. This is for life. Each time I chose what I know is the best path, I am victorious.
As Dianne has always said, "Sometimes life gets in the way". It's how we make it work for us is the key.
So......sorry! this is so long. I'm having a moment.
HI to all of you.
Stop in and say hello!
luv,
Jen
