You haven't heard from me in quite a while, I have been AWOL from Weight Watchers the last few weeks. I had all but given up entirely. I had a lot of changes in my life over the last few weeks, I finished up being a leader with Weight Watchers and I started a new job working at Benefit Cosmetics. I love my new job, but as I was settling in over the last few weeks, I found it to difficult to focus on that & eating right. to be very honest, I didn't care one single bit, I didn't want to do weight watchers any more, I was tired of it, I wanted to eat whatever the heck I wanted and not care about gaining weight. that was true for a while, I truly didn't care, I was eating anything I felt like and I was happy, for a while at least.
Then the novelty wore off, I started to notice the lbs I had gained, I started to feel sluggish & tired and I became very unhappy & distressed over my weight, but I didn't know what to do, I felt like I couldn't stop and go back to Weight Watchers & my healthy habits. So I continued on that path for a while, guilty & miserable but pretending I was happy with my choice.
I feel like I have been through 10 rounds in a ring, I am emotionally battered & bruised, my will power is hanging on by a very, very fine thread. But I have realised that it's still there, that I do want this & I am still in the fight! I have hope that I can get back to my fighting weight.
So, I took my battered self and my tattered will power off to class this morning & I emerged from that class feeling shiny & new again, my will power firmly back in its place. I can do this, I will do this! Just the act of attending class this morning and knowing that I am now back on track has made me feel lighter, honestly it has. I feel in control again. its a wonderful feeling.
So, if you have been struggling & giving up hope, if you have stopped going to class, go back. it will help. Attending class is honestly the only way to do this, we need the motivation & support of our leaders & fellow members, Think of them as your coach and your cheerleaders. They want you to succeed!
If only losing weight was as easy as passing the salt. We all know that it's not. It is, in fact very difficult.The journey of weight loss is an emotional roller coaster of ups and downs. I queued up, a little apprehensively for the weight watchers ride. And boy what a ride it has been! This little blog keeps track of my journey, the highs and lows. It gives me accountability, focus and inspiration and I hope that it inspires all the brave people who have joined the weight loss ride with me.
