Okay, last night was a poor me day.   I think we all have them.  It’s okay but no more for me for a while.  I have a lot going on and have to stay strong for me and my families sake.  Right now, I want to tell everyone that I have the greatest sister in law that any person could ask for.  She found me a wheelchair to use and took me to the weight watchers meeting.  It wore me out but it was so nice to go out and feel normal for a couple of hours.  We borrowed a wheelchair from a friend of ours.  My mother in law says my husbands grandmother has an extra one and she will make sure I get one before the day is over so I can leave the house.  I won’t be stuck in the house any more.  Yippee!!!!  As far as pain, I don’t have much.  I have it pretty much under control.  I really expected to hurt more so it’s pretty nice.  I can’t wait though to get back to sleeping in my bed.  I’m sleeping and living in my oversized recliner.  Granted, I have control of the tv, a laptop, and almost everything I need so it’s not all that bad.  I just don’t get to cuddle with my hubby which is a huge change.  It’s amazing what we take for granted. 

Okay, as for ww.  I couldn’t weigh in this morning but I felt good going and getting the motivation from them.  I like the meetings and hearing the ideas and stories.  It’s nice to not feel alone.  It’s great to have a community like here at buddy slim but at the ww meetings you get to see actual people and you get immediate feedback.  I love all the support I get from both places.  You are all awesome here and have made my journey so much easier.  I was so afraid of gaining the weight back and getting a no care attitude while being laid up.  Come on my food is left in the hand of my husband and kid.  LOL!!!  Neither cook!  Last night’s meal was a lean cuisine pepperoni pizza.  It was okay though. I did stay within my points.  I did treat myself to my favorite fast food restaurant this morning but that is okay.  I’m not going to be perfect but at least I’m not letting the little mess ups get me down.  My SIL is a huge help.  We help each other and talk to each other often.  We are only a text message or phone call away from help.  We know that every meal may not be perfect but we have to leave it at that and not dwell on it.  How many times have we gotten into the trap where you screw up one meal or even a whole day and then you want to throw in the towel? We are not perfect.  We, no matter what plan we’re following, are going to have our days where we screw up.  One day every now and then is not going to put on 20 pounds as long as we keep it to one day and not a whole week or month or give up. 
I’m sorry to ramble.  I’m just feeling like I’m on top of the world right now.  We have to stay positive.
