A New Chapter

I joined Weight Watchers about 3 weeks ago. It's been great!!!! I knew what I needed to do to drop the pounds it was just hard to actually do it. I've been dropping about 2 pounds a week, I'm down 6 1/2 pounds. I'm not stuffing my face anymore and I am eating more fruits and veggies!

Monday May 10th

I'm not sure if my problem is lack of discipline or that I just haven't found what works for me. I tried the Special K diet for a week (really less). I struggle becuase I really want a quick fix. I want what will get my thinner NOW and then will work on the eating healthy part. I want to be around 110 before I get pregnant again when that might be in less than a year. Deep down I know I need to learn to eat healthy, to change my bad habits, to really think before I open my mouth and insert food. Slow and steady is the right way to do it.

Lord, help me to be patient, to be smart about what I eat, to make the time to work out. Help me to be ok with slow and steady. To love my body as it is and as it changes. Amen.

I know the best way to drop the weight and keep it off is changing your lifestyle/habits. I just wish it would go faster or that I could drop it fast and then do the healthy eating habits. Slow and steady wins the race is a pain when you are starting out. I have all the head knowledge, it's just so hard to do it and break your old habits. I need to learn to think when I eat. I so often eat without out thinking, or I eat more than I should and don't even realize I am doing it.
