I went to my meeting today and not only am I down 1.4 pounds but I measured today and in 4 weeks I have lost 2 inches off my thighs, 1 off my waist and .25 off my arms. This is HUGE, first I have never much liked my arms they are big and do not look good in short sleeves. But to see inches coming off on top of pounds phew!!!
I haven't been "in" to it this week, but I pushed through and it paid off. I love seeing results, who doesn't seeing results reminds me that I am doing the right thing, it's worth pushing through.
Today's meeting was about putting me first and the change I made with this is I stopped catering to everyone else for meals and now they eat what I do no more special meals I was making convience meals really inconvienent, one kid liked one thing, one liked another my husband wanted something else. It was crazy making 3 unhealthy meals. Now we all eat in a healthy way and we have all gotten used to it in 8 weeks. Gone are the hamburger helper and hello fish and veggies. And yes the kids like fish.
Things are becoming habit now, I am trading the bad habits of eating for good habits. This doesn't mean I can slack or I have made a change that with out being vigilant I could keep up with out weight watchers, OH NO I have made the resolve that this is life long. All the things I grew up associating food with happy, sad, mad, relief. They are all still there I just need to learn that food isn't going to make me feel anything but full, and if I make the right choices fueled for my day. But if I make the wrong choices sluggish and just plain yucky.
I know this is for life and I am ok with that, there will be weeks were I have to push through that buying something would be easier but not worth it in the end.
