This weekend's weight in will mark 4 months on Weight Watchers for me
and I am trying not to focus too much on the number I will be able to
say I've lost. I'm currently at 32.4 and I'd LOVE to hit 35lbs! But
really its all about the progress I've made and the ways I've changed my
life.
I LOVE food! But until recently I had a crazy love/hate thing going on
with it. You see when you use food to deal with emotions, you use it
all wrong. It really is no different than any other drug. It makes you
feel good for a little while and then, when it's gone you feel guilty,
you hate yourself for the way you look and the way you feel.
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE food. But NOW, now I can eat a little
bit of anything I like because its controlled, its planned and its for
better reasons. I eat fruits and veggies because that's what my body
needs. When I'm truly hungry I have healthy options in my kitchen and
at work so that I can eat because I need it. And when I really WANT
something that isn't so healthy, I can see my points, I can give a
little here, to have a little there. When I know I'm making mac n
cheese for dinner, I take it a little easier at lunch. And then when
dinner comes, I take out a measuring cup, I measure a serving, a real
serving, not a well it fits on my plate so I'm sure its a serving and I
enjoy it. I track my points and I don't have to feel guilty about it.
What I DON'T do anymore is deal with a stressful day by making myself an
entire box of mac n cheese after everyone else is asleep. Now I work
out or I chat with a friend to deal with stress.
