I haven’t written about my struggle at Weight Watchers recently, because I have really been battling it. You know, for those of us with life long weight issues, I have finally come to the conclusion, that they never really end. It will be four years in January since I started my quest with Weight Watchers, and I imagine that I will need my meetings and support for the rest of my life.
In fact when I reached my goal, I felt under tremendous pressure. How could I maintain my weight? What would happen if I gained it all back? Trust me, you get a little bit nutty.
I started to play the denial game, and not weigh in, and not be honest with myself and slowly the pounds started to creep back on. So at my first meeting after Thanksgiving, I got back on track, bought a normal membership and began journaling.
Now on Christmas Day, I will have a couple of things I enjoy, but I will make a lovely meal for Hubby and I to have that is mainly Weight Watchers friendly. The same will be said on New Years.
Since Hubby and I are going on that cruise in March, I sure want to look good in my bathing suit! I also want to feel good, so we can walk all around and enjoy the beaches of Roatan, Belize, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We have two great sea days built in, and I just want to be able to swim and sun and enjoy.
So now, I must eat right, exercise and give myself pep talks.
It never really ends, just gets manageable.
It is a daily way of life. You need to do this to keep healthy so you can live a LONG life and run after that Grand baby!!! Love YOU, Mel
*Sigh* You’re so right …. and I haven’t seen my goal weight since 2000. 🙁 That’s 11 years of being on the “overweight” side. Blah!! I’ve tried to kick-start it a little recently for my health – but so far, just 2 or 3 pounds come and go. I tried WW but it didn’t work for me – I really just need to get DISCIPLINED!
That’s great you have some goals to work for – that would be great motivation!
Don´t you know it! I so get this. It never ends and it´s something we have to come to terms with. Glad you are back on track again.
So true, it never ends but you look wonderful. I have at least 60 pounds to loose so be thankful where you are at today.
