I did it. I’m back in the game! I sucked up all my pride and stepped on the scale Saturday morning. I looked at my Weight Watcher’s book and I hadn’t weighed in since April 24th! OMG! Bad, Bad, Bad.
The damage. I gained. Yes. 3 lbs. It’s bad but it’s not the end of the world. I’ll get it right off and get back on track. If I let this depress me then I can’t be focused. I’m human. Not a perfect robot. I’ve learned to accept that!
The real question I have for myself that I’ve been spending some time “soul searching” is this . . .
Why do I allow myself to fall off the wagon? What is my disconnect?
Sorry dolls but I don’t have the answers yet. This weight loss is not only a physical change but it’s a journey into what makes me tick. I have finally uncovered that I cannot look at this like a short term solution. This is forever. I have to make the right choices. I have to keep developing good habits and continually weeding out the bad. I’ve made huge strides. I need to give myself some credit because I am my # 1 critic. And I can be really harsh. This doesn’t come overnight or even in a year. I see other people losing all their weight in a year and I start comparing.
STOP! No More!
Mimi is not everyone else. Neither are you if you’re in this fight. Life happens. Mistakes happen. But, so do wonderful things and winning streaks. When you’re on one, milk it. Because, you know at some point you’ll hit a rut. It’s pretty much a guarantee. Life is full of ups and downs. However, it’s the way we chose to ride them 😉

I got back on the wagon on Monday (6/14) and I’m STARVING. I should have started training my stomach first like I did last time. Going from eating a ton to eating a little is killing me.
I don’t like the weigh-ins. There was only one meeting that worked for me because of my job, and it was full of old people. I mean, VERY old. Not the kind of support system I was looking for.
Congrats! I know the feeling. I feel the SAME way and it sucks!
I love my leader but that’s about it. I only go to my meeting date/time b/c of her. Mine has a lot of old people too and it’s a Saturday morning!
Well, you can stick around here and we can support each other virtually 🙂

3 lbs is NOT bad. In roughly 2 months you only gained 3 lbs, that’s good. On occasion, I gain 3 lbs in a week. Kudos for your to getting back on track and good luck with your weight loss! O, and I love your blog design.
Thanks girl. I just wish I could figure out why I always seem to stop along the way! Err! Thanks for stopping by and all the nice comments 🙂
