As I was
combing through some old blog posts, I found one titled, When The WW Center Is Next To The Liquor Store, that caused me to pause and re-read it. I remember going into the liquor store that
evening and I remember feeling like a huge failure for being so far over my
goal.
The blogpost
is dated September 22, 2015. I went back
and looked at my weight loss record to see what I was weighing around that
time. It is no surprise that I didn’t actually log any weight for several
months since I was avoiding the scale.
The previous
weight I have logged is from August 24, 2015 and is 209.4.
You know
that saying, “I wish I was as thin as I was when I thought I was fat.” Yeah, I’d kill to be 209 again.
The next
weight I have logged is from December 10, 2015 and is 220.6.
I had been
teetering on the cusp of 220s for a few months now, which makes me really happy
since I had gotten back up to 253 as logged on June 27, 2016.
Since I life
so much of my life in the day-to-day tracking and the week-to-week scale
numbers, it is exhausting and feels like so much work. It can also be really discouraging to feel as
if you are moving at the speed of a turtle.
Slow losing
is still losing. And as the days dwindle
towards the end of my mental break, I find myself getting more excited to
attend my next WW meeting and even more excited to stay the course.
