Thinking and Wanting
I’ve been thinking. Ok, I know that is scary. LOL!!! I laid in bed last night and got to thinking about what I’ve accomplished. I’m in smaller jeans. My double chin that was forming is receeding. I’m exercising which I wasn’t doing before. Heck, I’ve lost 32 pounds since June and almost 20 since the end of October. I am not losing fast but I’m losing. I’m eating better and working hard. I’m feeling better about myself. I have great support and great friends. I am making better food choices. Like this morning for breakfast, I took my son out for breakfast. I ordered one pancake, an order of bacon (3 slices), and a hot chocolate. I only ate half of the pancake because it didn’t taste as good as I wanted so I thought why waste the points on it. Secondly, I only drank half the hot chocolate as well for the same reason. The one thing I’ve learned in ww meetings is if it doesn’t taste good then don’t waste the points on it. In my case, it’s points and in other’s it’s calories. If it doesn’t taste good why eat it. Wouldn’t you rather eat something that tastes good. I know I would. It’s all about choices. We can make the right choices or the wrong choices. We can choose to eat tasteless food or food that we enjoy (in moderation). We have to make the right choices.
Our ww meeting this week talked about habits. We make our habits. We are not born with them. We have the power to make new healthy habits. I know it’s hard but it is doable. It is required. We know what got us to our current problems. We are the ones who have to get us out of it. Let’s all work on changing our habits. I’m going to work on drinking more water and exercising. I’m going to beat Steph this week on points. I want to wear that bracelet. To be honest, the heat is on. Our ww meeting members know what we are doing and ask us every week who won. It’s getting embarrassing to not have won it yet. I want to say that I won it. So Steph better be on the watch out.
I also want our trip to Indy. I have to get to 208 to make it happen. I know I can do it. Steph is a lot closer to it then me. I am working harder then I was though so that is a good thing. Indy is going to be a girls day out and so much fun. It’s also well needed. We are going to do it on one of my breaks from school after we reach our goals. I have 30 pounds to go to get to goal. I’m going to do it!

Shelley, this is your week. You are sounding so positive and you are doing so well. LOVE how you did not eat the junky tasty food. And a great choice you made. WW taught me this as well and it is a valuable skill to learn. LET THE FOOD GO THAT IS NOT WORTH IT. Usually I am right on with this but sometimes I do not do so well eating something that is not ideal. Well, learning and moving forward. I REALLY enjoyed reading your blog. Have a great week, now the bracelet is Yours !
I can see it. *hugs*
YAY Shelly! You really are just doing so well right now. I can’t wait to read and see what happens next. Bracelet will be yours soon! New habits are happening!!! And, you know, I, too just started not eating things that don’t taste good. I used to keep eating hoping they would, but now I have the same attitude as you - why waste the calories! YAY!!!
Yes, we are so better off! Congrats on your loss, I know you will get the rest off! Hugs,Kama
