I started Weight Watchers last week and I was both sad and frustrated by how much weight I had gained...
since high school
since losing a ton of weight in college
even since my wedding
I was dedicated to the program this week though and it paid off because I lost 5.6 lbs my first week. Now I could be pessimistic and say that it was just water weight or maybe I was bloated. I'm choosing to just be really excited and proud of myself. I tracked every bite of food going into my mouth for a week and was astonished that when I don't think about what I eat at all, in goes the junk. When I really thought about each little bite I became so aware of how much goes in my mouth.
I can't pinpoint the reason but I came home super excited!!!!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Don't even write the other crap. Just write about how excited you are! That is an awesome accomplishment! I am so proud of you. A word to the wise though, you will lose a bit more in the beginning but don't let yourself get discouraged. You will end up in the land of losing about 2 pounds a week and that is PERFECT! Keep it up girl!

Any little bit of weight is good.. and 5 lbs is no little bit of weight! Congrats! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, even though I run all the time, it takes me a month to lose a pound. Keeping track of eating is definitely the way to go :-)
