Good Monday Morning!
My Monday started off earlier than expected when my
phone rang at 6am looking for sick coverage at work. In turn, I am missing my WW meeting
today. So far, my back-up plan is to get
to a meeting Friday (if I can cut out of work early) or Saturday.
I feel really great this week even after my indulgences this weekend. I had wanted
to attend my meeting and I was going to do it blindly again and not get on the
scale at home ahead of time. I’m trying
to find a healthy balance between the scale, which keeps me accountable, and
overall happiness while still continuing to lose.
I have found several weight loss/health/weight watcher
members through Instagram lately. One of
the gals I follow commented that her scale broke in the middle of her 80-day challenge
and that it was the best blessing in disguise.
She said that she finally shifted her focus from the number to how she
felt and she has never felt better in such a long time. I can really see the difference in her photos
from when I first started following to now.
She is looking very tiny (and very happy).
It is always on my mind about how to have a healthy relationship
with both the scale and food. I know
that I do need the scale for accountability.
However, when Weight Watcher Freestyle rolled out in December that is
when I noticed that overall, I feel really good. The foods I am eating make me feel good and I
tend to get most frustrated when the scale doesn’t show it. Not having to be accountable to the scale and
to just focus alone on how I feel could be a slippery slope. After all, I was once at goal but currently I
am not.
Speaking of goal, or more importantly Lifetime, over
the weekend I was getting Facebook reminders that nine years ago is when I
earned my Lifetime status. Pretty
awesome reminder and very motivating for sure.
I don’t have all the answers. If I did, I would have never weighed 300
pounds. I am a work in progress. But, that doesn’t have to be always so
negative. Sometimes I get tired of
saying, “no thank you”. It feels good to
say “yes” once in a while.
