Sometimes I tend to rate everything in my life based on how I'm doing with weight loss. Losing weight? Life is good. Gaining weight? Life is bad. Dumb.
I have been full on dedicated to weight watchers since January 1. In two months I've lost 22.4 pounds. Based on my prior weight watcher attempts, this is S L O W weight loss for me. Who knows what the reason is, but I refuse to give up. Besides, that's 89.6 Sticks-O-Buttah that are GONE from my body.
It's also important for me to say that in the past, other things happening in my life would kick me off track with the food plan. Getting sick, family "stuff", whatever... it would take my attention off of taking care of myself and put it back on comforting myself with food. NOT THIS TIME. I've had some major life events in the last couple of months and I have stayed the course. It's so important for me to claim this victory today. And to focus on the victory instead of the problems over which I am feeling victorious.
If I can keep up this snail's pace of weight loss, I can possibly even exceed my goal of losing 107 pounds in 2009. Let's see how far this snail can go...

Just remember that you don't want rapid weight loss. Slow and steady is the way to go to ensure you take it off and KEEP it off. I too was kind of ehhh about how slow I was losing weight (up to 13 pounds now), but I'm noticing major changes, my clothes are starting to become too big and I can finally wear my ring again. I've made major changes to how I eat and I'm trying to become more active and in the end I'll lose the weight and keep it off because the changes I'm making are for the better and aren't completely denying me of the foods I love most. I've just learned moderation is key...

I agree with what Farsy commented. They say it's normal to lose 1 to 2 pounds a month (which since January 1st would be about 16 pounds), so you are way ahead of the game! Be proud of what you are doing! Congrats and keep up the good work! I am at 76 Sticks-O-Buttah which I am absolutely thrilled about!
ReplyDeleteSlow weight loss can be frustrating in our otherwise life out of balance speedy world but like the others have said, it is the best way to go in the long run.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great!
Hey! This time may be different for a REASON... ummmm.... maybe you are doing it right and this is what your body wants! HA! That might not be the real answer but I wanted to leave a snappy reply because 22POUNDS SO FAR IS FANTASTIC! SO THERE! NOT EVERYONE HAS DONE THAT WELL SINCE JANUARY! SO THERE!
ReplyDeleteHey. Thanks for the encouragement the other day... my butter friend (usually I would find being called a butter friend insulting but it has taken on a new meaning to me lately... for some reason).
