10/9 Weekly Weigh In

I just came back from the Health Department where I go to use their scales for my weekly weigh in (since I'm doing Weight Watchers Online). It has been a very challenging week. I had been feeling depressed, bored, lonely...you name it! I struggled alot with making (and keeping) a plan. At the end of the week I was over my weekly points allowance by 44 points! That's more than a full day's worth of food. The outcome was a loss of only .2 pounds. Yes, it's a loss...and ANY LOSS is a good loss...but, I cheated myself. I robbed myself of a bigger victory. I gave in to those emotions I was feeling and the end result was a very tiny loss. I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Truth is, many of the times those emotions wanted to seize me...I overcame! Weight loss is a process and a challenge. A challenge of which I am up to! I will not be defeated! And even though I may have failed at certain times during the week, I'm still standing. I won't give up on this. I want it and it's good for me. I have the will and the support and the tools to do it. And I've got that red dress hanging in the closet!

Thanks to everyone for the "atta-girl's".
