I hit an all time low, I was moody, pretty much starving, and was ready to just quit the WW program. I have realized that this is a great program to start out with, but I keep harping myself into trying to make this total change in my life and limiting myself from any food that I am used to. I need to find healthier options that taste good to ME and foods that I can enjoy and learn to love, not forcing myself to eat things that I know are better but can barely swallow... seriously.
I am not sure if I will stay with the WW program in the long haul... it has been helping me to realize my eating habits, make better choices, portion sizes, and being more conscious about what I am eating, but I cannot stand feeling like I am still hungry and being worried about going over my points!
There HAS to be a balance! I don't like being moody, grumpy, and difficult to be around, I do not like this at all, and I for sure have not liked myself the past couple of days. Something has got to change here....There has to be a way to eat healthier, exercise, and lose weight, without starving yourself of things you still love.
One thing I have accomplished so far is I have not touched fast food since I started almost two weeks ago, this is a big accomplishment for me, and I have no desire to eat fast food either! I have learned through WW how terrible FF is for you along with simply eating out all the time. And I am SURE this is a HUGE source of my weight gain, no doubt. I have also cut my pop consumption way down and have stuck with it as well! I have only had one 12 oz Pepsi a few times now, and I have limited my 1 Pepsi to the nights that I work (this is from drinking 3-5 cans/bottles a day!).
So there is my rant, I have been making changes, even though it seems rather slow. I feel like I have cheated at WW the past 24 hours! I am sitting in my computer training class for work for 9 hours today, so I figured I would do something with my lunch break besides look up healthy recipes that actually sound like they will cater to my picky taste buds! :-)
Next mission: Focus on drinking WAY more water to promote weight loss!
Note to self:
ReplyDelete4. Don’t let mistakes get you down.
Repeat after me: Slip-ups are a part of the weight loss process, just as they’re a part of life. Some days, things will go your way and you’ll do everything “right.” And other days, you’ll face temptations and obstacles, and yes, inevitably make some mistakes. Look at it this way, if you are making mistakes, you are trying, and if you are trying, you are learning. Don’t beat yourself up. Simply pick back up where you left off the next day or at the next meal.
