The Number I Hate

I gave away my scale. I don’t need, don’t want it.  Because weight is a number I just don’t need to know. In fact it’s a number I have hated, but endured my whole life.  I’ve alternated between checking this number 5 times a day and avoiding it for months at a time.  Whenever I’ve [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 7

I went tonight, but I have no idea about my weight. I don’t want to know, whether it was good or bad. I’m focused on the Secret, which means I must believe I’m at my ideal weight right this moment, so weighing in and tracking how much I have left to lose is counterproductive.  But [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 6

I  didn’t go to the meeting last week because Kels & I had a meeting at her school, but I was back this week. The talk this week was all about moving more, just getting started and then getting fit.  I am getting back w/ the program this week, after several months of slacking.  Berta [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 5

I missed 2 weeks and was ready to quit going, but Kelsey inspired me to stick with it. 2 wks of “screw it” mentality and I’m up 2.8 lbs. This is better than I thought, because I figured I’d be right back to where I started. My biggest gripe was we always [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 4

Grrr, I gained one pound. I wasn’t surprised because I quit journaling Friday. I came home from work and the kids were starving, so I made popcorn. Sunday we cooked out, with steaks, fries, corn on the cob and garlic bread. Monday, Tay & I went to IHop and I had the multi grain [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 3

I lost 1.8 lbs this week, total so far is 8 lbs. I should be pleased right? Well, you know how it goes when you start obsessing over your diet…the weight can’t come off fast enough. Even though it comes on in a heartbeat. At least that’s how it seems.
The topic [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 2

I lost 1.2 lbs which was good considering….
Friday I had a migraine, so I slept most of the day and then Saturday I just lay around being lazy. Some days it is a struggle to leave the house and I wonder if my depression is to blame or if it’s just poor health and [...]

FAT and Fabulous

It may seem like a contradiction to applaud self acceptance while obsessively counting points and pounds lost. It’s really challenging to accept what is while striving for what could be. I have NO desire to be a size 0. I’ve lived the last 40 years w/o strutting my stuff in a bikini, so it’s safe [...]

Guilt

I am having the hardest time dealing w/ my guilt over Kelsey’s weight. I feel like it’s my fault she is in the position she’s in, although I know I’m powerless to change her behaviors or attitudes. She’s old enough now to make her own choices and to live with the consequences. But [...]

Weight Watchers - Week 1

5 down, 55 to go. Yes, that’s right; I lost 5 lbs. Yay for me! Of course it is the first week, and I know I can’t expect that kind of weight loss every week.
I have to say, I really haven’t felt too hungry or deprived. I actually eat a lot [...]
