Weekly Recap - Once Again, another 1.6 lbs lost!

March 17, 2008 | Filed in: Diet Programs, Weekly Recap, Weightloss Progress

I’m actually in shock…and I’ll tell you why. I’ve been really down this week plus I think I’m coming down with something, and so I’ve been feeling sorry for myself. So to make a long story short…I have totally gone off my diet! That is why I was so surprised that I showed a loss at Weight Watchers tonight. I keep telling myself that it will eventually catch up with me, but then I told myself, “NO! I just need to work extra hard this week and really stick to it, and hopefully I’ll break even next week.”

This weigh in today just boosted my mood and my self confidence! I can do this! I just need to tell myself, “No more Pizza, no more Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip cookies and absolutely no more Chinese food!!” I don’t know what’s been wrong with me, but I’ve just been craving everything I love here lately, and the Chinese Restaurant down the road has just been “calling me”. I finally broke down, and ordered the other night, and I made myself sick. To be honest, I really didn’t eat a whole lot, I mean I didn’t binge or anything, I guess my stomach is just not used to eating that stuff anymore and has shrunk or something.

But back to my self-confidence. That’s why I really love Weight Watchers, the meetings and the support. It really helps to be able go and be around other people that are going through the same thing I am. They are experiencing the same ups and downs. Losing weight is REALLY hard! Believe me, I know, because I’ve been struggling with it all my life. I’ve just got to keep on truckin’, because I have come too far to stop now!

Hi, Ruthie!

Congrats on your loss this week… and on your overall loss! You are doing great!

And thanks for the comment you left on my blog today about PPP. I really appreciate your thoughts and input! But I must say… I have no idea what a “page rank” is! What is it, and how do I find out what mine is? lol

Great loss. Don’t let the day to day stuff get you down.

Thanks Lillian! And thanks for stopping by!

Hi there! I just found this site via EntreCard, and the blog title caught my eye. Congrats on the weight loss! And I agree with Lillian, ignore the day-to-day stuff! Yes, you’re going to have off-days, but just shoot for sticking to everything 90+% of the time and you’ll be fine. Remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint!

I know what I’m talking about - I’ve lost ~50 pounds over a 2-3 year period, and I still fluctuate up and down about 10 pounds several years on. I just strive to stick to the diet/exercise routine as much as possible, and get right back on track when I falter. Stick with it!!

Congratulations on the loss! You *can* do this - absolutely. Weight watchers is a totally do-able plan that works. Look at those stats - you’re doing so well! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all of the encouraging words you guys!

Congrats on the loss! And good for you for getting yourself refocused on doing the right things *almost* always!

Thanks Cammy!

That all sounds soooo similar to my week, I have also been pretty under the weather and generally feeling down…and as soon as I feel like that all of my resolve to be good goes out of the window, I had cheesecake, I had a burger from WeatherSpoons, I had a few choccies and I only worked out 3 times - so was shocked when I got on the scale and had lost 1lb, when I can be good as gold for weeks and work my booty off at the gym and lose nothing! Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense, does it?

Good luck with getting back on track now, I need it also!

Cool. I Know it’s tough living by a Chinese food source.. The smells would make me hungry for their food. It is like they scent the air for miles with the wonderful fattening smell Huh?
I think everyone must be catching spring colds or some bug My Grandson has been under the weather all week long. I am lucky in that I almost never do get sick.. When I decide to get sick I do it in a big way. I hadn’t been to the doctor for myself in 18 years till October. In October my gall bladder decided to rupture and cause me to seek a doctor after all these years of not bothering them.. Now they tell me I have got to see them all the time. Pfft.. well for now I will.. One good thing though I quit smoking while I was sick.. Now I’m gonna gain weight.. At least I know where some good advice is when I decide to loose some pounds. Between you and Saphrym I should be good to go.
Have a good Easter!

Thanks for stopping by Patsy! Sure, I’ll do what ever I can to provide you with some good advice. Glad to hear you’ll be going to the doctor regularly now, and glad the gall bladder thing turned out ok. I’m surprised that I haven’t ended up in the hospital for that one, everyone else in my family has.

You are doing great. Weight is such a tough thing physically and mentally but it sounds like you are on top of it. good luck!
heidi

Keep going, you’ll do it. Put those blinkers on and head straight for the goal!

I’d say good luck, but you don’t need it.
