21 Days and Counting

Ok..today is day 21 and I am still OP!! I am really happy!! For my lunch to take to work tomorrow I am making a stir fry and I can smell my fresh herbs on my hands and they smell fantastic!! I am so pumped and focused on this journey!! Today I feel that I cannot fail...although I know how fragile this is.

I cannot believe how different my thinking is right now. What I want is so different and so attainable, provided I follow the time proven guidelines. But the good news is..I can do that!! Tomorrow is weight in day and I hope it is good news. I made the mistake of weighing myself a couple of days ago and I was up. I just have to remember , daily weight can be deceiving...having salt the day b4 can have such an impact as well as other factors. I have read that some of the WW people take a 4 week average to use as their weight. I can certainly understand that practice. Anyway tomorrows weigh in should be interesting.

I am going to share this on the blog, I have a pair of shorts I plan on trying on when I bit 190#...that is 190# or less, 190.2# is not acceptible for this ....wish me luck...I am thinking it will be approximately July 8 or 15 when I try them on.

Mary you CAN do this!!

Still Plugging Away

Day 20 and I am still OP. Thank God!! Today there was a message on the WW board about daily planning and journaling. I have come to appreciate daily planning and if I write down everything I plan to eat for the day in the morning, I am actually not thinking about food every minute. I also have noticed that the people that have been successful and have kept off the weight continue to plan daily and write down their food intake. OK so I can do that.................Way to go Mary............good job, you CAN do this!!

Here I Go!!

Ok, I have now created a blog. Good job, Mary!! This blog is purely for my own use. I am committed to losing weight and today is my 19th CDOP (continous day on program). Which means I have faithfully followed the weight watchers program for 19 days. I was too disgusted with myself to get on the scale when I started. I didn't actually weight myself until I had been OP for 7 straight days. I felt I would be happy if I weighed 203 or less. Lo and Behold, I weighed 196.8. Thank you Mary for being faithful. Your body is happy. I have been weighing on Saturdays and the next Saturday I weighed 193.2. A VERY good week indeed.
The best part is I don't wake up in the morning every single day
feeling fat and disgusted with myself. While it is true that my BMI reading is still in the obese catagory, I feel I am doing something about it and each day I get better and better. I am taking this one day at a time and eventually it will all add up to better health and a better quality of life.
There are some people on the WW board that have 250+ OP days, my hats off to them and I am truly inspired by them. Another inspiring person is Adrienne. She is a lady that is being profiled in Redbook Magazine. They selected 3 women that applied to be helped with weight issues. They have had then evaluated by doctors and trainers to assist them and then they are putting their progress in the monthly magazine. Anyway Adrienne is the only one that is really working on it and blogging regularly and having some success. I like to read her blogs.
Well Mary...keep it up. You CAN do this...and more importantly, you WANT to do this.
