Today I went back to Weight Watchers, after a week of journaling and being super careful about what I ate. I was really worried that I would not have lost any weight, but I stepped on the scale and found that I had lost two pounds! Yay for me!
Last week in class they spoke about how losing weight is really hard. It sure is! And once you are over 50 I think it gets even harder! But I am not going to give up!
Our last two cruises Hubby has taken pictures of me, and between my weight, and my new face, I have been one, very unhappy girl!
I know the next couple of weeks will be tough, due to the holidays, but I am not giving up. I really want to look good, and feel good in my body.
You know, the last time I saw my Mom before she died, she said to me: “Don’t be like me, Maribeth. Don’t give up! You can do it!”
Mom was probably my biggest critic in life, so this unprecedented encouragement was a real shock.
I do miss Mom. She may not have been a “Fairy Tale” mother, but I think she did her best. At least, right now, I am hearing her kind words and that is such a gift.
Very happy for you keep up the good work. When I was young never thought I’d have a weight problem but here I am. I try very hard and sometimes it is very tough to keep looking ahead. I don’t believe there is a thing as “Fairy Tale” mother’s but we never had much but we all the love in the world. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and look for more posts on your progress.
