So, I'm late posting. I was super busy this weekend and then sick. Not a lot of exercising done this week, in fact I only made to the gym once. Shame, shame on me. I hate that I not only didn't lose this week, but actually gained. It totally pisses me off. I counted everything, but after a few Super Bowl Parties (Go Packers!), it got out of hand.
February 7, 2011
Weight: 245.6
Up: 1.2
Measurements: I will do this once a month
Mood: Good and Bad
Exercise: Once :(
Back on the plan, worked out yesterday, will work out again tonight.
Even though I've gained a little this week, I do have to say losing in general, all the healthy eating has made me feel:
Sexier, Energetic, Happier, Easier to move, Focused.
Before Weight Watchers I felt like a schlep. Tired, Cranky, Like I stuck out like a sore thumb only I was a big blob.
How do you feel - good, bad? Sexy? Determined?
Til next week - be healthy!

Spreading the Word
Right now, I am doing Weight Watchers online. I don't go in to meetings, get weighed before others, and then listen to a meeting. Some people say that they have to go to the meetings because they feel accountable and follow the plan better.
For me, I have a lot of reminders I'm accountable. My children ask me about the plan, how many points things are, etc. I have told people at work so if I don't follow the plan I feel as if people are watching me. So I don't need to go to meetings. BUT, I still have this fear. I've struggled with my weight for so long and I've gained and lost a million times. Even when I have been thinner, I still felt like a fat person. I need to succeed, then I need to keep it off. What if I can't? What if I stumble, gain and then can't get on track? These are questions I'm sure every dieter asks, but it doesn't make it any less reality for me.
Do you tell other people you are dieting? Do you feel that everyone has become the diet police? Which I hate by the way. Weight Watchers is a flexible plan. I can eat anything as long as I count it and as long as I have the points. So who's business is it for them to ask, "Should you be eating that?"

Satisfaction
So, when dieting in the past I always felt dissatisfied and then I'd take a bite of something not on the diet and that's all it took -- I went hog wild. One taste of something sweet was usually all it took.
So this time around, I'm surrounding myself with better options so I can be satisfied without going off my "diet". Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches, Weight Watchers fudge popcycles, Weight Watchers deserts. All favorites, really good tasting, and keys to keeping me satisfied.
I went out of town for business this week and was really worried that I'd have trouble. So I brought bananas, celery sticks, and baby carrots for the ride and my time in the hotel. Luckily so many people at the meeting were on Weight Watchers we made good choices for lunch and dinner. But it didn't matter, I was counting points no matter what.
So, how did I do this week? (drum roll please!) Down another 2.2 pounds!!!

Weight: 246.6
Total loss: 8.4
Measurements: Waist 46.25 Hips 52 Thigh 31.50 Upper Arm 16 Dress Size 20
Mood: Feeling Good - motivated
Exercise: Not as much as I wanted, but I kept moving.
Another week gone and I'm doing good. I'm looking ahead, trying to plan and make sure I have the right tools and foods with me to make sure I'm satisfied. I have the biggest sweet tooth in the country and to me, having sweets on hand that are easy to count and still taste good--I'm golden.
How do you keep satisfied when you are dieting? What keeps you on the right path?
Til next week - be healthy~
