I’m moving my blog from weight watchen to blogspot. I’ll be post here for a few weeks but please add my new blog to your list, the address is
I’m down 2lbs this week, I’ve almost made it into the 150’s on the Weight Watchers Scale. I wish we could get weighed in like a privet room or booth so that we could weight in nude, clothing sucks and we should be nudest. Now that I got that out of the way I wanted to up you all on the diet changes that I am making. It’s good so far but I think that I’m going add pasta back into my diet once a week, I just can’t live with out it. Also I think I’m still going to my 14 pretzels a day, one of my favorite snacks, we’ll have to see. This new way of eating my points is really working well for me, I’m down another 1lb this morning. But we all know how I weight myself in the morning.
As for my mother-in-law I’ve decided that I don’t need to gage me success on what the other people around me are doing, I’m doing whats right for me and my body and I have to be okay with that. So I don’t lose 10lbs in a month, most people don’t and longer it takes me to lose it that longer I’m going to keep off because I know how hard it was to take it off in the first place. I am struggling right now and not just with weight lose but with may areas of my life and it’s bleeding into the time and attention that I should be paying to weight watchers. My role in has changed completely from a college student who only had to worry about herself, to a wife who now has to take care of another person, I hate my job, I’m trying to have a baby. I just think that I’m trying to do to many life changing things at one time. So went home and I talked to my husband and asked if he would mind doing some of the house work and he agreed to keep the kitchen and the bathroom clean. I know it doesn’t should like much be he’s also remolding the bedroom and office at this moment. I also asked him if we could hold off on the getting preggers part to, and he thought that was a good idea since we still have more remolding to do. So I think taking some of that purser off of me will help me focus on whats really important to me, losing weight so that I’m healthy enough to enjoy the children that I’m going to have some day. I’m also going to stop telling my mother-in-law how I’m doing, if she asked I’m going to say that I’m staying on plan and doing well and if she wants to share with me how shes doing I’m going to encourage her and be supportive about it.
I need to be happy with me and my husband need to be happy with me and everyone else thats wants to bring me down can kiss my big beautiful a*s because I’m letting letting them get to me anymore. 
I got the idea for this off of diet coke and zingers page. If you haven’t checked out her blog yet you need to go there right now and start reading. She’s a gas, puts a smile on my face everymorning.
Happy Reading
I found this quote today and I really liked it
“Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.” Bernice Johnson Reagon
I’m under 160lb for the first time since August. I was so shocked this morning that I almost fell off the scale. I should tell you I was nude and it was first thing this morning but still, I hit 159lb and I can’t believe it. I’m hoping that this new eating plan that I have myself on doesn’t get boring. I want to get out of the 150’s and in to the 140’s ASAP, so I replaced my mid morning snack (curves bar) with a small salad (about 2 cups) with 2oz of chicken on it. I replaced my lunch ( sandwich, chips, yogurt, fruit) with left overs from dinner eg making it a bigger portion of lean protein, small carb and a veggie. Then my afternoon snack ( 100 calorie pack) is now a small salad with tuna on it. Normal dinner like always and for a snack instead of ice cream I’m eating a yogurt. I’ll do this until I get sick of it and then I’ll find something new to eat. This eating plan is called the 6 week body makeover and my mother-in-law lost a ton of weight on it. I’ve been stuck in an eating rut for so long I thought I would try it, I have to you I feel like I’m cheating on my boyfriend. Like I’m betraying Weight Watchers for something new, but I am still counting the points for everything that I eat, it’s just someone else is making the menu up not me. I’m giving my brain a little break.
In other news I’ve been feeling odd lately, like I’m not comfortable with me and who I am. It’s been along time since I’ve felt like this and i’m not sure why I suddenly feel this way, I can pin point when I started feeling like this. I guess it was last May when I started WW, I was feeling great, I was engaged to the love of life, I was working out and losing weight and to top it off my future mother-in-law was gaining the weight she lost last back and for some reason that made me feel good. Like I was finlay going to be better then her at something. Now I’m not happy with the fact that I was happy b/c of this but still I didn’t know how to change it. Then my year anniversary of WW rolls around and again I’m feel great, 3months left till the wedding, I’m down like 24lbs almost in the 150’s. Again I was happy that I weighed less them my mother-in-law. Then the wedding came and went and I stopped losing weight bouncing between 159 and 163 for 6 months now I decided it was time to do something different. I stopped taking my BC changed the way I was eating (see above and started losing again). So then today I get and e-mail from my mother-in-law saying that she lost 10lbs so far this month on Nutrisystem and is going to lose another 10 next month. I don’t know what but at that moment I felt like I failed, I’ve been counting, and weighing my food and writing everything down and still it takes 2-3 months to lose 10lbs, once again she made me feel bad about my weight lose efforts. I feel like I’m in consent competition with her and I don’t know what to do about. I don’t want to get joy from someone gaining weight and I really way to be happy for her because she is sticking with her program and losing weight. So my question to you all is how do I end this cycle of competition? Anyone in a similar spot right now? How are you dealing with it? And please don’t send me hurtful comments on this, I know the way I feel is wrong and I feel bad enough about it. I’m looking for ways to over come this feeling of insecurity in myself.
I havn’t worked out at the gym in like a month, but I did go skiing last weekend and I believe that I’m going again this Saturday. It’s a great work out, I loved so much my husband bought me skis on Sunday. I can’t wait to go again, so if your looking for something new and fun to do, check out skiing.
since I posted anything so I thought I start the day with a blog. Last week I came down with a stomach flu and yeah you would think that because I had it coming out both ends that a person would loose like 5lbs not me I gained 2lb, tell how that’s fair? Anyway I feel much better this week so I’m back to tracking and eating all my fruits and veggies and drinking the water.
I have a business lunch today, and I don’t know where we are going but I have a plan. I’m going to get some soup and a salad that way I wont eat to much. Well I’ll be back tonight I have to get going to work!
