Blog to Lose

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

At work today we could pay a $1 to help a good cause and wear jeans to work, so I paid my dollar. Well when I went to put on my jeans this morning ( I only have 2 pair that fit and 1 of those pairs was dirty) they WOULDN'T BUTTON. So here I am sitting at my desk with the top button undone and my belt covering it. I think I have reached the lowest of lows and I don't see myself coming out the funk anytime soon. If you have read any of my previous post you know that we are selling our house and this is the last week we will be living there.This is also adding to the funk because we have been packing for the last couple of weeks but it seems like we have so much more to go and we only have until Sunday, not to mention we have other obligations tonight that will keep us away from home. We don't really have any food in the house and on top of that my husband has had side jobs everynight after work (he's a plumber) and since we carpool I have to go with him and we haven't gotten home until 9 or after every night therefore we have eaten fast food every night which is not helping.

I am at the point that I think I am just going to stop counting points, stop getting on the scale and stop caring until we get settled into our new house the first week of August and then try to get back on track. The worst part about this is that I am usually such a positive person and have tons of motivation but lately I'm the wicked witch of the west.

I feel ya girl! We all go through times like these, and you will make it through. Don't try to do everything, just do something. Exercise, drink only water (no soda), try to get salads at night, and you will be relieved when things are back to normal!

Here's the thing, though. Weight Watchers will always be in the back of your mind. So you're moving. Who hasn't? So your schedule is really rough right now. Alot of ours are. It's not so much that you choose to stop making choices, you just need to make better choices for the time being until you're more in control of the food in your house. Going to McDonald's? No problem, get a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich. Pizza Hut? No problem, get a veggie pizza and a salad.

I'll also give you a hint: cut out soda, drink water instead, and you'll see a huge weight loss right off the top!

There will always, always, always be challenges in front of us. Our life doesn't stop because of any challenge or obstacle. It keeps right on going in the body you are in. Your life with your body never stops. When you look in the mirror, who is there? YOU! You can never get away from you.

Think of the good things coming and work towards them. You're going to have a POOL! I'm so jealous I could just spit! Who cares what you look like in your bathing suit in your own pool?? Get in there and swim a lap. The next day, add another lap. Eventually you'll be swimming a kabillion laps and those jeans will be WAY too big for you!

Sorry that things are so chaotic for you right now ... and that your pants aren't cooperating. (I know what a bummer that can be!)

As for giving up for a few weeks ... will you feel any better about yourself if you're taking a break? Or will not taking care of yourself just make you feel all that much worse?

I did that and just gave up when I had surgery on my toe. I was making excuses for myself because I couldn't walk and I had this huge boot on my foot. What happened to me is that now I weigh more than I did when I started ww 1 1/2 years ago and I feel worse about myself. Even if you just make good choices as Kimmy and SaucyWench stated, that will be huge for you. Don't just stop because if you do, you will be way worse off then you are right now. And you think that your pants don't fit now....well they will fit even worse later. The only reason that I say that is because that is me now. Just try and make better choices, use your tools for life from ww and make this a time that you blossom!!!! You can do it!!!!
