Good Morning!
I had a really great week of mindful eating. I really thought about joining WW again (I quit planet fitness because I joined in January and never went!)
But a couple of problems I have with weight watchers is that although I love the meetings, the only in-person one we have is when I am working--a Tuesday morning! The other meetings are an hour away.
But my bigger issue is that I am never honest with myself when I am counting points etc. Yes I know how to work it so I lose, even if I do not officially count the points, but if I ever made it to goal and even when I lost weight in a week, I felt like a phoney because others assume you are following the plan and that is how you lost the weight,
It is a lifeline and i am not denying that but it makes me feel like I need to be perfect in some ways and if I ever did get to goal, I know I would never be able to stick to the 2 pounds up or down to stay at lifetime.
That being said, I really do enjoy being here with all of you because we can truly share how we feel about anything.
I was down about 5 pounds this week because I had not recorded my weight here because I was GAINING! I was back up over 230 again. But I really feel like I have made mental progress this week and feel comfortable with where I am
My sister gave me some of her jeans when I was visiting her a few months ago and now I can fit into a couple pairs. I refuse to buy bigger clothes! I am into a size 20 at the moment and had started to look at the 2x blouses and shirts cuz my chest needs room lol
My goal is to be under 200 by my Drs appt at the end of November.
T didnt drink during the week and we did not eat out so those are two biggies that helped me on my way.
Also I really want to wear a red dress for either Christmas or for Valentines Day next year. Plus I am in a bowling tournament for work on November 6 and they take photos for publication in our work newsletter! So that is more incentive for me to slim down some.
I have had some health issues because of my weight but that doesnt make me stick to healthier stuff for some reason. But I know as I lose weight it will be much easier to get around without pain in my knees.
Challenges this next week are :
My daughter-in-law Carol's birthday is today. They are also making Chicken broccoli Alfredo.
A benefit Basket Party tomorrow and my bowling league tomorrow night.
Mindful Eating--still eating--not punishing myself, but payig attention to those BLTs and the portions
