Week 2 = Disaster, Week 3 = Recover

Well, not completely.

Though I have to say, I have very serious issues being in control with ME / my BODY / My WEIGHT when I am emotionally struggling.  My issues last week with my mother really sent me out of control mentally.  We pretty much went at each other for a few days.  I went to my doctor even on Friday to explain what had happened to get advise from her on what to do next.  I mean, I’m already on a/d’s, why am I still SO out of control at times.  Well, she referred me to a psychiatrist.  This made me sad of course because I just want to be “normal” and unfortunately I haven’t been normal for going on three years now, which, well, sucks, to be honest.

Anyway, after being pretty much “off” program, I still faced the music on Saturday and lo and behold, only a 500gr gain.  I’m grateful for this!  I mean, honestly it could have been so much worse!  I was really pleased to see that 98 staring up at me from the scale, even if there was a .5 after it!

I may not have all the coping skills I need just yet, but at the least I know I’m true enough to myself to keep going forward.  Losing weight is simply NOT an option for me anymore.  I don’t want to be overweight and therefore I have to WORK to reach my goals.

That said, Week 3 started on Saturday:

Sat - we went over to a colleague of R’s for dinner.  So basically my intake was great until dinner.  I estimated at around 13 points over.

Sun - actually was really good.  I calculated, weighed, measured, everything and then… forgot I had a Pria Bar so I ended up 3 points over.  That’s 16 points I need to balance out the rest of this week!  Doh!

Today - so far so good.  Am well pleased with myself.  Worked out this morning already, 34 min on the elliptical, 250 cals.  Food’s good too.  Plan for dins is R’s pasta, which I calculated the points on the last time he made it.  I may just do the elliptical again to try and earn more bonus points for the week.  It’s not like it’s so difficult really.

Back to work and perhaps to the coffee machine!!  Mondays!

    Hoiii

    Ik wil ook weight watchers gaan doen.. Ga jij ook naar meetings? Elke week?
    Ik wilde alleen het boekje [boodschappengids] kopen maar dat blijk je alleen bij meetings te kunnen kopen.
    Kun je mij wat meer vertellen erover?
    Ik moet zo’n 20 kilo afvallen :/
    That Sucks!!
    Maar wil het wel heel graag.
    Al die snackjes zijn soms gewoon te verleidelijk.. irritant? Echt wel!
    Vandaag had ik voorgenomen om niet te snoepen/snacken..
    Heb gewoon gegeten en als ik trek kreeg nectarines en pruimen gegeten. Ook heb ik al het snoep en snackzooi uit huis gedaan. Er ligt alleen nog chips in de kast voor mn vriend.

    Ik ben over 11 dagen een half jaar gestopt met roken [na 12 dikke jaren een pakje per dag] maar ik ervaar dat dat makkelijker is .. dan afvallen.
    Anyway.. Nu dat half jaar eraan zit te komen word het wel tijd om het op te pakken en te gaan lijnen.

    Reactie zou leuk zijn.
    GroetJes Ilona
    PS: Veel Succes!
