I’ve been thinking a lot about how I am doing with my desire to lose weight on the new WW Plan.
I chose the Green Plan to follow, which in short means I am counting my points and really working at preparing filling, yet low point meals.
I was so dishearted at Christmas when I was weighing way too much. I saw the pictures and I looked like the Pillsbury Dough Girl! I was so unhappy.
My New Year’s Resolution was to cut it out and just do it.
I went back to class and began, again, the long process of losing weight.
One thing I can say about being 61 is that this time on WW I am facing all this with reality. I know I cannot have “cheat” days. I know I cannot drink alcohol and expect to lose. And I know, deep in my heart, that I will be following WW for the rest of my life. I am not naturally thin, and never will be. Even when I get to my goal weight, my body will always want to take Pasta and make big hips! This is me and this is my life.
Strangely, I feel okay with all of this. I am not on the brink of cheating or stopping the diet, and I am content.
This is totally a new feeling. I was always great at sabotaging myself. But, no more! I will do this. I know I can!
I am all for sensible eating, with the occasional break days, but not having wine or whiskey to relax and try to make sense of the world!!! Oh no. I’d rather be fat.
You’ve got this, Maribeth.
