Weekly WI & A Therapy Session

I skipped the scale after doing my WI at home and about having a heart attack. It was a very poor week of eating/drinking and it sure did show on the scale. I'm working hard this week on my mindset to turn things around. Of course, now that I am working on re-focusing, the new Cheerios Peanut Butter and Chocolate cereal is finally on the shelf. I've been looking for it for weeks and only now that I am working harder on cleaning up my eating, are they available. I didn't buy any yesterday and if I am tempted, I'll have to run the points and decide from there.

Gretchen was our WW substitute leader at the meeting yesterday and it was good to see her. She referred to me when we were talking about the mindset needed to lose weight and that opened the door for me to share. Obviously, since I'd skipped the scale, there was a light weighing on my mind. I love WW meetings so much and it was nice to get some of it out amongst those that understand my struggles. After my share, a member named Jackie suggested exchanging numbers so I could call when I'm tempted to eat said splurge and talk through the emotions. That was so sweet of her and we exchanged numbers. I'll have to call and check in with her this week (and share my passing up Cheerios).


We talked about having a plan and I have some events scheduled this week so a plan will indeed be needed. I've also got to do some meal planning/prep so when I come home from work tired, I'm still at least ahead of the game as far as making something healthy.
