Hiya,
Sunday already? Really? I did NOT see that coming! Hope you are having a great weekend and if not, well, there's always Monday!
Well Gentle Reader, I finally hit that wall with Weight Watchers. You know, when you are so close to your goal so you start to get too comfortable with your food choices. The next thing you know, a few lbs creep back on. That's where I am now. Haven't gone since December 23 but will be returning this Wednesday January 13.
I can't explain why I suddenly stopped REALLY trying. The holiday season perhaps. 9 months of meetings, maybe. More likely that I needed a break and this was the time to do it.
However, that said, I am still focused on staying healthy and being a smaller size. A year ago I was a size 18. Today I am a 10.
I can walk more than a block without huffing and puffing. My back is my friend again. Clothes are actually fun to buy and wear. I no longer look at muumuu's with any actual desire. All good Gentle Reader, all good.
My final goal is around 149 to 155 lbs. Haven't landed on this weight yet but I am very close. Probably another month of losing weight and then six weeks of maintenance before getting my lifetime membership at WW. Very exciting! Then new spring clothes.
That sugar-loving gal will always be part of my personality BUT I am liking feeling healthy a lot more. So much easier to have treats now and then rather than deny that I was ever that person. I made unhealthy food choices for many decades before embracing veggies and salads and more natural foods. If I can do it, then anyone can!!
For me, Weight Watchers was the best option. I'm not good with food discipline and needed the support of others to get through this journey. Not just family and friends (which has been amazing) BUT others, like myself, who adore food but haven't been able to stay within a healthy weight range while loving it. Mayor McCheese is the head of my old world! I love food way too much.
So Gentle Reader, if you are struggling with a diet that you thought you had under control, fret not. We all do it. It is what makes us human and keeps the dieting people in business.
Back to the veggie cart tomorrow. Until then....
Linda
