I have not talked about Weight Watchers and my weight loss on here lately. I have been maintaining my weight for the past four months. In February it was two years that I joined Weight Watchers. In February I decided not to renew my monthly subscription to WW. I decided to just do it on my own for awhile. I felt like I was disciplined enough after two years to manage or at least try.
I feel like I have been doing a good job of it. It is not easy, but I still eat like I am on the plan. I watch my points and try not to indulge in things that raise my points too much. I have found that I still feel guilty if I cheat and it is never as good as I have imagined it would be. This is a good thing because it stops me from wanting it.
I set goals for myself when I started on this journey. They were getting into a hot little black dress by the time my 40th birthday came, which I did. My goal after that was to get to 135 lbs. I managed to get to 138 within days of my weight loss anniversary of February 22- 2009. I next wanted to get into a size 4 by June 2009. I did that. Now that I am maintaining my weight I still need to set goals to keep me on track. I have been losing weight off an on and so I set another goal for myself. I want to be into a size 2.
Today I went shopping for some new summer pants. Although looking out my window right now it looks like an evening in November: rain, wind, cold. I found some cute short jeans. I pulled size 4 off the rack and then the size 2 caught my eye. I decided to put the 4's back and try the 2's. I could have taken the 4's in with me, but I knew that I would talk my self out of trying on the 2's just because I knew the 4's would definatly fit and the 2's would probably not. Anyway....I tried them on and........
I had to do the happy dance.......!!!! I remember when I got into a size 4. I did the happy dance then also...
Anyway....
There is hope when you are on this journey and it feels like it is not going to happen or it is too hard. Just keep setting goals and being good to yourself.
On another note.....
I am reading the book "Apart From The Crowd" By Anna McPartlin. It is on my summer reading list in the previous post. It is a good read. I wasn't sure when I first started, but it drew me in and I cannot get enough of it.
