It's Monday morning and I had a fun weekend but not the greatest when it comes to sticking with my points. My 2 big downfall areas continue to be late night snacking which I LOVE to do so it's very hard for me to stay away from and making choices outside the home. I do well with meals when we stay home but when we go out, I always seem to make bad choices. I tell myself I'm "treating" myself and that we don't go out that often (which is really not all that true. We order in a lot because we have 2 small children). Anyway, these are the areas I'm going to need to focus on to work on my consistency. Consistency is a huge problem for me. I do well for a few days and then I'm back to bad habits for the next few days. I'm thinking blogging will help me though. I feel better already just writing this! :)
I think we all struggle with consistency. My weekends — even when they're mid-week — are an excuse to indulge.
Today was one of my better days. Had my WI and was down a pound ... just 5.7 from One-derland! I ate 26 1/2 Points (1/2 Point more than I'm allotted) and got in a few minutes of exercise (not as much as I'd have liked).
I struggle with consistency too! Sometimes I actually tell people I do weight watchers every other week. I dont like saying that but many times it is true. I start off good and end bad or start bad and end good. I don't know I guess it just takes time, will power, and an understanding that we can not be perfect all the time. I think thats why I like weight watchers because its a life style change, so even when we're "bad" its ok because its not just a diet. In life your never going to be perfect, so I would assume my eating would reflect that. Your right though blogging does help!
It really does take time. I was just thinking about that yesterday. I joined WW last August, and all the things I've learned are just now starting to sink in, and finally I'm losing at WI more often than not.
For a while there, I was gaining and losing the same 2 pounds every week. That was no fun!
Thank you so much for your words of encouragment! 2 days ago I ate like I was going to hibernate for the winter and then yesterday I started my period so I'm wondering if that's why I just felt the need to eat. Maybe I'm making excuses. I'm really bad about that. Yesterday was good though and today is starting off well. Thanks again for the words of encouragement!!!
