Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

Tomorrow is my 3rd weigh in with WW's, and I am not looking forward to it! I did something HORRIBLE last night..... I ate Burger King, a chicken sandwhich and a couple of fries. It was soooo damn good, but I felt horrible after it was all gone. Two night before my weigh in, and I have done so good this week and WHAM, temptation became a bitch. Yes, I am working out every single day, and I know this is helping but until I get some of this weight off, I have no reason to even try to indulge myself into something like Burger King. The King has done nothing for me in the past, except help me gain this weight. My goal is a very realistic goal, 2.5 pounds a week is not too much to ask for in a goal. I can poop out atleast 1 pound a week all by myself! I am going to work out a little harder today, and I am taking my daughter to open swim tonight, so I am praying that I see success this week. I know, I know.... it took me years to add these fluffy rolls to body, and I know that the pounds are not going to fall off over night BUT I sure am hoping that they will come off this week! I just want to hit that 5 pound mark this week, and I will be one happy chick. Wish me luck because I so need !

Tina,
Stop worrying so much about your BK visit! One of the things I love most about the WW plan is that you can eat ANYTHING you want to. The trick is, you've got to count it! One of my biggest weaknesses is that when I commit to something, I have this expectation of myself that I will be perfect. For example, I tell myself that I will follow the plan to a "T" and eat all healthy food. The problem is that I have set an expectation that is so unreasonable, what I am really doing is setting myself up to fail and once I do, I use it as an excuse to continue the behavior that caused me to fail. I have come to the conclusion that this is the reason why I have never been successful....because I don't allow myself to be. Whenever I tell my mom (fellow WW) that I am craving something I shouldn't...milkshake, cheeseburger, french fries, pizza, etc. she doesn't try to talk me out of it. Instead she says "okay, let's go out to lunch then." I didn't understand it at first and then she explained her thought process to me. If I have gotten to a point where I am craving something, I have already convinced myself in my head that I will get it...eventually. So why deny yourself? Just get it, enjoy it, count it and move on! I'll be honest with you, I still do have those cravings and when I do, I go for it! It will sting a little when you write down the points, but at least you know and maybe the next time, just knowing how many of your valuable points you will be using may be the reason you decide to choose something different. (Wow, that was a lot to process and no, I'm not a shrink!)
Anyway, the important thing is that you accept it and move on. You may surprise yourself at Weigh In with a nice loss. Keep up the good work and I know you can do this. Good luck and I am looking forward to hearing about your loss. :-)

Skinny vibes to you for weigh in! So you had a splurge, we are all entitled to do that once in awhile. Today is a new day so move on. Eat healthier today and workout a little bit harder. Your exercise progress will definitely start to show. This progress is one step at a time. Good luck.

Good luck on your weigh-in. I'm sure that one slip is not going to kill the hard work you have put in all week. Don't be too hard on yourself. We will all have the need to indulge and WW gives us the freedom to have those every once in a while because of FPs. But the trick is to indulge and move on...don't let it be a vicious cycle.

The ladies give good advice. It happens. It will again. We are not perfect. Count it, own it and accept that it is part of this journey. We build our strengths from what we learn from our 'weak moments'

Tina, Im in Michigan too, wowneat! I like your analogy of temptation!..lmao We are just like drug addicts. The only differnce is we HAVE to eat. So, its like a drug addict having to choose a drug that doesnt get them high, over one that does....
