I did it!!
Yesterday I went the whole day and stayed on program! And I didn't eat after dinner and even drank water. Which for me is a big deal. I hate water! LOL! I don't think that Dh is going to do weight watchers with me like he did before, but oh well. I am determined to do it this time. If not, you all can give me a verbal kick in the ass. ;)
I got on the scale yesterday and I was 160. Which sucked cause right before Christmas I was 151. But anyway, my long term goal is 125 or there about. I am 5'5" and that is where I feel the most comfortable. Believe it or not, I was at that weight a couple of years ago thanks to weight watchers.
In Sept 2001, I got fed up with carrying around the leftover baby weight that I had (my then baby was born march 2001). So I went to a WW meeting. I weighed in at 164. Well by mid Dec of 2001 I was 125. And I know that this sounds really dumb, but I felt SOOOO good about myself. Even though i had saggy little boobies, and a flabby belly from having my 3rd baby. (oh God! It is even worse now that #4 is here.) But for once, I liked what I saw when I looked in the mirror. I rewarded myself by going to the tanning bed and that made it even better. :) (tanning beds are bad, horrible, blah blah. I know all about it.)
But then, once i made lifetime member at WW's i wasn't required to go ever week to weigh in. So there was my downfall. Plus i got so comfortable with eating whatever I wanted I feel off of the program. And from then on I gained it back.
The start of my last pregnancy, I weighed 150. And I got up to 190-195 I think. I really didn't want to think too much about food and worry about gaining too much weight. I just wanted to enjoy my pregnancy, I knew that it would be my last. :( (got my tubes tied the day after Gabbi was born) So about 2 weeks after I had my DD i brave it and get on the scale. 175. UGH! And there I was, stuck at that weight. Until my 6 week pp check up. I talked to my Dr and she said that the WW way of eating is great and gave me the thumbs up. So i go to a meeting. And I weighed in at 173.8. This was on October 6 I think.
I guess that it has taken me longer this time cause I haven't been following the program like i did the 1st time I lost weight. And like I said, I have been off of the program since mid Dec and gained back some that I had lost. Which really sucks. And now that I am back on again, I think that I am just going to do it at home and not go to the meetings. I dunno. I haven't decided. I missed my meeting last month, so I don't know if I will start back up this month or not.
But knowing that I am going back home this summer, I want to look good. It seems like whenever I get to go back home and see all of my old friends I am either pregnant, or right after I have had a baby.
ok, now that I have written a damn book. LOL! Can you tell that all my kids are asleep?
