Turn Slip Ups Into Success – Weekly Weigh In

If you don’t mind, I am just going to let my thoughts go for a minute.  Bear with me!

I’ve slipped.

I’ve slipped far and I’ve been slipping for quite a while.

This week’s Weight Watchers topic was PERFECT for me.  You know why?!?  Because I had a major slip up.

I gained 3.8 pounds.  I now weigh back in the 190's.  O-M-G!!!!

Rise Up!

It was a wake up call.  It was the wake up call I needed to get my butt back in gear.

I think last week when I only gained a little (and expected to gain a lot!), I thought I could continue to cheat and not gain.  Boy was I ever wrong.  I’m tired of it.

My clothes don’t fit good and I REFUSE to buy new ones.

I FEEL bad physically.  I have headaches again.

I don’t like the way I look in the mirror or some pictures that are taken.

I am gaining weight and It is time to stop.

The past eight months I have teeter tottered back and forth.  I looked back at my weight record and can CLEARLY see the steady gain.

Steady Gain since November….not good!

Who am I?!?  This week’s big gain was just what I needed to say, “Self…get it together.  Enough is enough!”

Plus, if I don’t do something before work starts, I won’t have any clothes to wear!

So…I am serious this time.  I have had enough.  I WILL turn this slip up into success.  It is simply a choice.  It is actually a whole bunch of small choices that add up.  I will make small, good choices that will add up to success.

This week’s meeting was perfect for me.  I have a choice.  I can continue to go in the wrong direction or I can get my act together, do what I KNOW I NEED to do and get back on track.

I choose success.  Which do YOU choose?

Thank you for letting me get my thoughts out.  This post made me very sad to write.  I feel like a fake.  I don’t feel like a weight loss role model.  However, I know in my heart those are lies.  We ALL go through downs.  I have gone through a down and I hope some of you can relate and feel encouraged to know you are not alone.  Let’s make it a great week!

My name is Jennifer, I’m 35 and I currently live in a suburb outside of Atlanta. I live with my husband, Jason and Shi-tzu, Maggie. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
My full time job is teaching elementary school. My part time job is private tutoring after school for grades K-6. I have been on my weight loss journey my entire life but just began to take it seriously two years ago when I decided it was time to start a family. I didn’t want to be one of those people who others look and and say, “Is she pregnant or just really fat?” At the rate I was going, that question would certainly be asked. So, two years ago I joined Weight Watchers. Now, closing in on losing 100 pounds, my life is healthier and I am happier. Now…bring on the baby!
My blog is here for you to be inspired, learn something new, and hear all about all new products I try. Join me on this weight loss journey as I go through ups and downs, good and bad, and continue to take it one day at a time!
