Yesterday I had a less than stellar weigh in. I only lost .8 pounds. Yeah, yeah it’s a loss, better than a gain, but I was disappointed. I have been working so hard, and sticking to my points so well over the last two weeks. I expected a 3 pound loss at a minimum, so when I saw that I lost less than a pound I was less than thrilled.
After weigh in I was supposed to go work out with my little brother, but I was so disgusted I just ate some lasagna and garlic bread at my parents house. Still after almost a year, I let the scale have this much control over me and almost immediately retreated to food. If I had been slacking off with my workouts or not counting points I would not be upset, because I would have deserved it, but it just sucks to know that you are doing everything right and still .8 is the best I could get.
I have almost been in WW one year, Tuesday May 29th will be my 1 year anniversary weigh in, and I so wanted to be 100 pounds down by now. I feel a slight bit of failure because I am only down 78 pounds. Yes, I had some slip ups during the last year, and I can’t help but wonder, what if? What if I exercised more? What if didn’t cave to my cravings as much? What if counted points better, etc, etc, etc. Then maybe I would be greeting this anniversary with a 100 pound loss instead of where I am today, 78 pounds.
So the short term goal is now to lose two pounds in the next week, no matter what. I am going to kick up the working out and eat more fruits and veggies for the next 5 days.
80 pounds down in the 1st year!!!! I will get there.
