On the path to a healthier me!

My Confessional

Posted by: elaine on: June 13, 2008

As Sydney pointed out in my personal blog, I haven’t updated in a couple of weeks over here. Can I just say I was feeling shameful? After ending the Weight Watchers program at work I continued on my own but fell off of the wagon. I gave in to cravings in a bad way and I was ashamed to track it so for 2 weeks I went on a tracking “strike”. Tracking would make me so how badly I was eating which would make me feel extremely guilty and I wanted nothing to do with it.

But, I still weighed myself in at home and over 2 weeks I saw the weight creep. The damage was not bad honestly – 1.4 lbs. But after losing weight every week for so many months it was a reminder to get back on track before it snowballed and became a pattern in the wrong direction. So I sort of half-assed tracked this past week and was rewarded with a 3 lb. loss. Yay! I am now at an all time low for 2008 – 160.2 I can just see the 150’s and can’t wait to break that line, hopefully next week.

So how bad was I? Let’s just say the last few weeks involved a frito pie, an assortment of cake eaten at work and at weddings, brownies, a cheeseburger with fries, some more fries, pizza rolls, pizza, a couple of mojitos, a frozen margarita, KFC popcorn chicken and many glasses of wine plus various cheesy things. Individually I often include at least one of these in my weekly intake but typically don’t go this overboard!

So there is my confession. And now I am ready to move ahead… :)

Oh my goodness, great job getting back on track. You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. It hurts to be honest sometimes but it way less painful than that slippery slope of denial. And wow, can I say, your cheat week was awesome (yum) and not to shabby at only a 1.4 gain. I’m really inspired at your bounce back. Thank you!

Well, there is your victory – moving ahead instead of throwing in the towel! A lot of times people fall off the wagon and think, “Hell – I messed up, what’s the point?” You didn’t, so that shows your dedication and that you’re looking to the future instead of harping on the past!

Good job Elaine! You had a short time off, now you’re getting back on track! Good for you!
