Well WI is tomorrow.....

And once again I'm worried that I won't be losing this week.  For some reason I have just been getting so bad about writing my food down and I don't understand why I keep doing it!!

I keep saying, "I need to do better at keeping track each day" but each day comes and I find myself more and more keeping track of the points in my head instaed of on paper.  Doing it that way makes it that much easier for me to "forget" what I ate earlier that day. 

I can't keep assuming I"m going to lose because I've done so in the past weeks.  I scheduled a photo appointment for Mackenzie's 5 month pictures and have decided that we will also be getting a family picture done as well.  I'm excited to get it done but I don't want to look bad in the picture either. 

Who knows.  I guess I'm just venting today.  Thanks for listening.

Hi!

Don't worry about losing this week.  Your chart says it all, it looks really good!  Even if you didn't lose you would probably work that much harder to lose the following week, right?  It's really hard, but if you can get yourself into the habit of writing everything down and making it convenient for you then maybe that will help.  Do you carry your journal and a pen around with you?  Maybe in your purse?  I do that when I know I'm going to be away from home for long enough, but I've also been known to find a random old receipt in my purse and write a list of foods on that!  Anything to keep yourself on the right track.

Thank you for your comment on my blog.  I am pretty sure that my WW leader thought she was doing her required job when she said she might need to send me away.  I think it's Weight Watcher "law" that if someone is underweight, pregnant, etc then they cannot be a Weight Watchers member at all.  The real misunderstanding is that she actually thought that I was 4.2 pounds underweight, not .2 pounds.  She was looking at the chart all wrong and thought my lowest healthy weight was 114.  I am going to go back to her next week and teach her how to read the chart correctly.  I really wanted to be around 110 pounds but I think if I go to 115 or so then everyone I know will be satisfied.

My WW leader is really sweet and she didn't make a show out of the situation, but there was a line of people who wanted to be weighed and since they just happened to be there, they watched the whole thing take place.  I wouldn't blame my leader for that but it was still embarassing that a bunch of people had to watch me be told I was at an unhealthy weight and would have to leave.

You can do it!

(((((((skinny vibes))))))) for today's WI. I'm so glad you are going to do the photo with Mackenzie! As for losing every week... remember, if you've been on track and exercising -- What more could you do, how much less could you eat and still stay healthy? You're doing amazing... : )
