Loosing it

I'm not where I used to be." I saw this quote today and it struck a cord with me. It wasnt written in the context of weight loss but I thought it fit perfectly with my weight issues. I'm always beating myself up for not eating this, or eating to much of that or I shoulda coulda woulda kinda stuff, when instead, I should be thinking about how far I've come from when I started at Weight Watchers in April of 2007. I watched Biggest Looser last night and of course I always get teary and emotional bu… Continue

Well..... despite my binge yesterday, I went to WI today and actually lost 1.4lbs. :) yippee. And it's actually the first day of TOM as well so I wasnt sure what to expect. I've been weighing at home daily to help me overcome my "fear of the scale". It's so much better to just see the damage (or progress) immediately.

As in "off to a great start" today, eating well and making good choices and then 'it" happened.

And to top it off, weigh… Continue

I hadnt even had a chance to read my comments yet but saw I had 2. If you left one, thank you and I'm sorry I didnt get a chance to reply back. :) That'll teach me to leave well enough alone right! ;) Take Care.

I had been boo-hooing earlier this week about my scant 24 pts and how quickly they disappear. (I could eat many times that over I'm sure unfortunately) Thanks to some good advice I got here on BTL, I decided today that I'm going to use 4 FLEX pts each day for my morning iced latte (2) and a nice glass of red wine (2) in the evening. Then I wont stress out so much during the day about how little pts I seem to have left after getting in all my oil, milk and fruits. :) And somehow, liquids just don… Continue
