I keep blaming food for my struggles, when really it's me.
I make the choices and therefore I should live with the choices I make...and the consequences that follow.
That's where this DietBet comes in. I need to keep reminded of making healthier choices...not for anyone else, but for me.
I've been on Weight Watchers numerous times and have been "successful"...but "successful" means I've lost weight only to gain a portion of it back...and then re-join WW again! That, to me, isnt success. I want my sccess to be defined by my ability to lose weight, keep it off for good, and be happy.
I am on WW again because I need accountibility and guidelines. Personally, it IS the only thing thats worked for me, but having the incentive of DietBet helps too. I've joined a gym and have been going at least 3x a week, so I'm happy about that...and I LOVE strength training! I'm not a cardio kind of gal, so lifting weights and kickboxing puts an instant smile on my face!
Anyway, I was bummed by my start weight today...only because I thought I had a great week...UNTIL last evening. We had family over and had a potluck of appetizers and snacks. I made some decent choices, but I think the fact that it was food I don't normally eat it threw off my whole system. I gained 0.2 which is NOTHING, but when I peeked at the scale earlier in the week I was DOWN at least a pound and a half.
But it's a new day and I need to get myself out of this slump.
Cheers.
