My Plan is to finish the program and continue to do what I know I need to do. Doesn't it sound easy? For most people, it is something they just "do". For me, eating healthier and exercising has to be on my brain the whole time I'm awake, a conscious effort. I'm not a good planner or organizer & I find I must go to the store several times a week to eat healthy. I try not to think of it as a hassle, but it just takes more effort in an already FULL day. Is it worth it? YES - I feel better, my clothes fit better. I just need to remember that. My significant other loves me no matter what size I am - sometimes I think that's not so good! The main thing is to remember that I don't love me as much when I am not being good to myself through healthy eating & exercising.
Well, I won't be able to make it again tonight. Jeremy my son is here and we are spending as much time together as we can. I have probably gained a few and I will have to work to get it back off. Something to work for. Hope to see you next week. C Ray
Anonymous' post (first post) sounds like I could have written it myself!! I really consider my weight problem an addiction and I just try to get through one day at a time with good choices. Now that I have seen some results (weight coming off and as mentioned, clothes fitting better, feeling better, self esteem is MUCH better........)... it is making it easier and easier to have more "good" days than "bad" days.
I am now looking at the food and asking myself... "Do I want that more than I want to be skinny/lose weight/be happy?". Recently the answer has been.... "lose weight and be happy".... which, at the end of the day makes me even HAPPIER that I have been successful.
I started off slow, but each week I feel that I am becoming more focused and ready to take on this challenge. It's not easy, but I am becoming more and more proud of myself with each temptation that I pass up and each pound that I lose.
For the first time ever... I can't wait to get on those scales tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your contributions here. 12 weeks of things and info flying at you can sometimes be hard to integrate. Everyday a little deep breathing may help to set your day and let you remember how well you are doing.
PLEASE if you can, tell people how it is happening for you. Record your feelings and emotions and when you can, give yourself credit for choosing a happy life. When it seems impossible........take a minute and gather your good feelings and go on with your day. It will come, this can be the last struggle you have with your weight. Have a great day and please share your experiences because you never know who you might help. We do know there are many eyes on here that never comment. That's good too. Being happy is free!
My plan is to prevent putting back on what I have lost through the PLAN. I have found it is just one day at a time. I have given myself permission to not feel guilty if I can't exercise 60 minutes today, as long as I do it tomorrow. I have learned to go for 30 minutes if that is all I can squeexe in today. I am sure eating much healthier thanks to Donna and Jennifer. Weight Watchers taught me to count points, for all the good that did me. The PLAN has taught me how to make healthy choices for a longer, healthier life. Don't try to do it all - just start one thing and do it until it becomes a habit. Then pick up a new healthy habit and work on it. KA
