I've been on this Weight Watcher "way of life" forever it seems. Made Life Time, loved it, swore to maintain and NEVER EVER regain those 30 pounds I worked so hard to lose. And as things tend to go, I gained it all back. Every pound, bite by bite. I rejoined, recommitted, struggled, failed, cheated, starved, walked, "fudged" those trackers, drank the water, counted the points, weighed every bite and eventually came to a realization.
If I was serious "this time", I'd rejoin, on-line and go to weekly meetings. So I did. For about about a year I've been at it. Again. Found a good group, a great leader, working the program and on the right path, seeing the results I needed to see and feel. And then I hit that wall. Feeling too good, a bit smug even, not quite following the program but not not following either. But the numbers show the truth.
So I had a talk with myself. Admitted that I had to quit trying to cheat the system, quit thinking that if I was really "good" on Thursday, the numbers would be so awesome at my Friday weigh-in. Like a kid taking a test and studying really hard the night before the test. I was failing. So this week I introduced something new. My latest deal: Every. Day. Is. Thursday. E.D.I.T.
And Friday's weigh in? Down. So it begins.
E.D.I.T.
