Day 2 - Official Weigh In

I consider my weigh-ins tiny battles in a waging war with myself.  Last night I won the first battle.  I stepped begrudgingly onto my scale *hiss* and was actually happy with what I saw!  282 lbs.  Some of you may be wondering why I am so thrilled with this number – I mean, it is a far way off from my goal of 195 pounds.

I have always struggled with maintaining any weight.  I may lose 10 lbs. on a whim, but I have never been able to keep them off.  However, I have been able to maintain a weight of 282 since June of 2009!!!!  That’s an amazing victory to me!!!!  *mini-wave in celebration of me*  (You’ll have to be a Friends fan to get that one.)  Now, it’s not been without fluctuation – trust me.  On Day One of this journey I weighed 296 pounds.  In the time between then and now I have gotten to my lowest weight – 275 – and I’ve hit my highest weight – 304 (although I was 9 months pregnant, so does that actually count?).  However, I have conquered the excuse that I just can't keep the weight off and maintained a 14 lb. loss.  Woot!

Moving on... I have had a cold for a few days and can’t taste any of my food.  Yesterday I figured it was stupid to eat unless I was hungry, because I can’t enjoy any of it.  I only ended up eating 19 of my 34 points.  Oops!  If you have ever followed Weight Watchers, one of the cardinal sins is not eating all your points.  Now I understand why.  I woke up this morning STARVING.

It was almost like I had one of those cartoon thought bubbles over my head and it was filled with bacon... Mmm...

Needless to say, my goal for the day is to eat every single point I've been allotted and not to chew my own arm off before lunch.

 

This Weeks Weight Loss Goal: 5 lbs.
