Still going strong on WW!
wow! what a weekend...whoo! early friday morning i left w/ my daughter to drive down to orlando florida. he high school friend from new york moved there and is now getting married next weekend and arriel went a week early to help the bride w/ final details. then early saturday morning i flew out to washinton, dc. then to north carolina. i am tired to say the least...lol
i tried whole hearted to keep up w/ counting points and i felt like if i didn't keep track of the points i would fail and gain a huge amount of weight.
i gave in to a little travel junk food here and there and i felt just terrible. then later when we arrived in orlano we went of for a steak and baked potato dinne that was so yummy. and no i didn't refer to my point food guide so any failure would all be me and i'd know why. i had a three hour lay over and i pretty much kept up w/ ww in the airport and since the washington airport was so huge and i had three hours i just kept walking around. i felt very good getting the walking in. i also thought about the day before and how i gave in to the demons of food. it was a good time for me.
so this morning the scale told me just a one pound gain and to be honest i am shocked b/c i drank regular pop. real butter and sour cream on the baked potato (ate only half but it was huge and half still probly made up a big whole potato), chips, sausage gravy and bisquit, reg. pringles, 4...yes four reese sticks, bbq chips.... i hand my hands on everything and it seemed the more i stressed over my mistakes and lack of will the more out of control i got. but now w/ my yesterday analyzing as i walked in the airport and got the actual weight damage its not really that bad.
i already know i can't live my life like i did that couple of days. if i did i'd only be digging my early grave w/ a fork and spoon. i realize i am healthier. i enjoy good healthy food and look forward to veggies now.....and on occasion i'm gonna have a "blow out" and getting a handful of this or that will add up but its still not the same as a "whole" bag of this and "all" of that....and now i can return to my WW plan...yeah a little dented but still in working condition and not feeling deprived from anything.
food is no longer in the driver seat in my life like it once was. it may grab the wheel once in a while but i'm the driver and i can order it to the "back seat". i think when i stopped rewarding myself w/ food and teeling myself to eat something b/c i deserved it started taking the power of food from my life and food is just food. i guess i will always suffer from relapes from time to time but there moments...not days at a time.
hope everyone had a great weekend! =)
