Off the weight loss wagon???

Here’s my deal. When I set a goal for myself and I reach it I then give up. That was my mistake with my weight loss. I told myself that I wanted to loose 10 pounds by Valentines Day then thought I would set a new goal once I hit it. Well I hit it as of Saturday. Actually I lost 11.5 pounds as of Saturday. Well that was like a green flag to go ahead and do what I wanted. Since then I have not tracked, I have not counted points and I also haven’t weighed myself. I also found an excuse not to go to my meeting this week. Basically it’s like I forgot I was trying to get into a healthy weight.

So I’m remembering right now!

I just updated my tracker to prove to myself I am not just talking shit. I really am going to get control of this part of my life. Although I have not walked all week or worked out I will start again tonight. In the morning as usual I will step on the scale and see what sort of damage I have done to myself this week, but I will not dwell on it. I will begin again.

Jeff has been so proud and supportive of me. I am so happy that I have shared with him my plans to get healthy. He and the kids have been great about walking with me and choosing healthy foods. I am so lucky to have them in my life and I will not ruin it by being overweight and causing health problems related to that. We all deserve better.

Tomorrow I WILL post about my weight loss/gain.

Till then…….
