Wednesday's Journal

Isn't it great to see others succeed in their weight loss! It is so motivating to me to know that if they can do it so can I. I signed up with WW online because I knew I needed help. I have been happy with the help and guidance that I have recieved and am encouraged that someday I will be able to go it alone. I was hoping as soon as next month, but I don't think I am ready to cut my apron strings just yet. It has been such a blessing for me to find some like-minded women that are also doing WW. This has been such an encouragement also. No, I don't meet with them face to face, we have an online relationship, but we really support each other. It has also been a blessing for me to see my progress encourage others to begin to work on their weight again. My mother is trying to lose again, she isn't very overweight, but I am glad to see her going for it. And my sister is also now doing WW again. This time we get to do it together, which is wonderful! Because my sister is starting she has a friend from church that is also going to be doing it! Our own little WW support group, woohoo!

I am still battling discouragement with the slowness of my weight loss. I think part of it is the additional physical pain I am in now that the weather is starting to cool off. It causes me to feel discouraged easier than when I am having more pain-free days.

Well, I have just tomorrow to try to lose more before my weigh-in day. I hope I do well.

Here is today's food journal: (listen I KNOW I have terrible eating habits, I am trying to learn to do better, but I am who I am, you know?)

3 1 pt. chocolate muffins: 3
cocoa: 1
2 chocolate muffins: 2.5 (added an extra half point to even out my daily total)
Chinese food: 8.5
Cheese nachos: 9

This works out to 24 points. I used to flex points and also earned 2 activity points. Boy was it torture to work my abs today. But I know it's worth it.
