Refocus Tuesday

I have jumped on and have fallen off the WW wagon more times than I care to admit but I have got to get it together.  Something inside of me is fighting me getting below 240.  I know it is weird; I know that sounds stupid and I am the owner of my thoughts but subconciously I don't know what it is.  I was a lb. away from getting under 240 and what do I do?  I give myself permission to eat what I want, when I want and guess what?  Yes, the scale begins to creep back up.  Yesterday morning I weighed more than I care to admit.  I am so sad!  I have reintroduced myself to the WW Community board and have been really reading the Motivate Me board - One post in particular caught my eye yesterday and I have it printed out for me to read daily or several times a day if needed.  I am so desperate to try anything. 

A big Thank You to Kelly of Illinois for writing this post. 

The plan only works if you work the plan. You can't expect it to work, if you don't follow it to a "T". WW wrote the plan so that it would allow weight loss by getting your 8 HGs, exercising, drinking your water, etc. You didn't gain your weight overnight so don't expect to lose it overnight. It takes time. This is a lifestyle change. If you're not willing to make the change and follow the program exactly as it is written, they perhaps you should find another program that will fit you.

WW will work - I know. Been there done that. You need to decide whether you really want to lose weight or not. If you do, then get with the program. Track every bite, lick, taste. Journal all your meals, get your 8 HGs, come to the boards for recipes, advice, motivation. We want to see you succeed and you are the only one who can make this journey a success.

Hugs,

Tracy

On and off

the wagon counts for exercise doesn't it , just kidding.  I'm the same way....have a little success, have a set back....on and on....sometimes I feel like I've lost and gained the same 2 lbs 1,000 times.

Good post from Kelly....that could be said of almost any plan....it's just a matter of finding a plan that fit's your lifestyle.

Thanks for sharing

I have been right there with you for several weeks.  I've been sitting around 210 and instead of following the plan and finally getting under 210, I've gone out to eat 5 times in each of the past two weeks.  That stopped Sunday.

We will get there!

Best regards!

It's good

Thanks for posting it!

I hear ya!

I don't know why we do this to ourselves........but I totally hear ya!  I've been doing this to myself for more than ten years.  It's tough.

But we can do this.  One day at a time.  If we seek the Lord for the emptyness inside instead of the food...............I know it's easier said than done!

You can do this.  But just know that you are NOT alone!
