Hi

Well this is my first entry in this little journal. I'm not sure what to write but I will share my day with you.

I am following weight watchers and am counting points. I'm not actually attending because I haven't gone in a few weeks. I figure my money is better spent elsewhere.


I joined weight watchers in february and lost 6lbs in my first week. After that I lost an average of one lb a week and have been stuck in the same place for about a month now.

I joined this form for support and so far this community seems to be a great place for a gal like me.

I must also say that it took me a lot to display my actual weight and my goal. I liken my relationship with food to that of an alcoholics relationship with alcohol. Essentially I feel that admitting you have a problem is the first step. So I figure that my firt step is to display my weight knowing that I am moving away from that number and towards my goal.

One thing I liked about today

I went for coffee with a friend and did not order a donut or crossant. I just had tea with milk no sugar (well I never get sugar in my tea).

One thing that I could have improved today

I chose not to exercise and I could have done a little something.

Hey there, just wanted say hello and it looks like you have made a great start!

this is a great place for support...

I have the same problem with food, once I start eating, stopping is a real problem...it is getting way easier to manage now though, but you are right it is similar to alcoholism...

Look forward to reading your diary entries!

Bit of a rough day today:eek: . My son did not sleep well last night and did not nap very well today either.

I did however manage to stay within my points range!

Personal Thoughts Today

I've tried so many times and failed. I'm so scared of failing again. I have this picture of me in my mind of what I want to look like and I don't know if I will ever get there.

One thing I liked about today

I woke up feeling like I was back in control.

One thing that I could have improved today

I only drank 3 glasses of water. I've got to improve my water intake.

Momtotwo Thanks for the post. I see you are from New Zealand. Kiwi's? Anyway New Zealand has been my husband's and my dream vacation location. We will get there someday.

I had a great day today. It makes a difference when you have things planned for the day.

One thing I liked about today

I drank a lot of water today. I stepped on the scales today and it looks like I am down 1lb. (official weight in day is Monday's)

One thing that I could have improved today.

I wouldn't change a thing I had a great day. I swear being a part of this community certainly has helped me a lot.
 
I love how your journal has moments of reflection... about what you liked about today and what you could do better. it's a wonderful idea. :)
 
Thank you Initial C

Feel free to adopt the same format. I started that because I can be very hard on myself and negative. I figured if I added what I liked about the day as well as what I did't like then I thought that I would force myself not to be so negative.
 
ONE DAY AT A TIME

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of the two days is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.

The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burden, its large promise and poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds -- but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day -- TODAY -- anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities -- yesterday and tomorrow -- that we break down.

It is not the experience of today that drives us mad -- it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.

Yes! I drank all of my water today!

I am on my way but today sure was a hard one. Super cold and rainy weather today so we couldn't get out for a walk.

One thing I liked about today

I joined pushtv.com (web based gym)

One thing that I could have improved today

I have a treadmill and could have walked on the treadmill instead of outside.

This entry did not post her form some reason yesterday. At any rate it is here now, hopefully.
 
:rolleyes: Oh now I look foolish don't I. :eek: Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy lady.
 
Ok so my husband had to go into work today and for a really long shift too. I so look forward to my weekends so I can have a little help with the baby..not today though. Anyway I had to do a lot of running around and I was so busy I didn't even think of food ...as much. I love when I am busy with other things and I don't have time to obsess about food.

One thing I liked about today

I only stepped on the scale 4 times today.

One thing that I could have improved today

I could have stepped on the scale one less time.

Relfection

Why does one have to weight themselves several times a day? Morning, noon and night. My weight fluctuates during the day. I'm not going to magically lose a pound from the time I get up to supper time. Oh so silly. Does anyone else do this?

Mother's Day

Reflection

Well it certainly was a wonderful day but a day where I had to dine out twice. Every week I allow myself one free day. Years of weight watching has taught me that I am a binger and to prevent myself from going totally out of control I need a free day but my free day can't be a non stop eating day. I am allowed to indulge in something that I am craving and eat it on my fee day only. So I made Mother's day my free day we went out for brunch and then again for dinner.

I ate one egg, toast and baccon and counted every single point. For supper I allowed myself to have a steak, baked potato and veggies. I'm a nursing mom so I have a crazy amount of points to use up in a day. I went over in my points but it was my free day and I chose not to get dessert.

One thing I liked about today

It was my first Mother's day and I really enjoyed my special day. I didn't obsess about food.

One thing that I could have improved today

I went over my daily points.
 
Happy Birthday

Well yesterday was my 32nd birthday. I am feeling pretty good eventhough I ate a piece of cake. I hopefully will be celebrating even harder next year when I have lost all of the weight I want to lose by then.

One thing I liked about this week

I lost 4 pounds and celebrated my first mother's day!

One thing that I could have improved this week

I could have exercised more and consumed a greator amount of water.
 
Hey it looks like your doing a fantastic job so far!! Its very nice to be able to look back and say oh, I did this right, or this wrong, and then improve upon that :D one thing tho- don't feel bad about walking outside as opposed to inside on the treadmill- there have been studies done that show you actually burn more cals outside in some cases.
Keep it up, your doing great, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your successes :D
 
You are doing such a wonderful job!!! Keep it up. Drink that WATER and have a great day!!:D "The only way to FAIL is to QUIT"
 
Dining Out Disaster!

Well I spent the last few days out of town on a mini vacation shopping in the U.S. I got so many cute outfits for my son and a couple of things for myself. I love Target! Aside from all the shopping fun I went way off of my eating program. And this morning I got on the scale and I am dissappointed. I gained 3lbs. I am so angry with myself but I woke up this morning and I am starting over again.

One thing I liked about this trip

We discovered that my son is more portable than we expected. We did a lot of walking.

One thing that I could have improved

Planned eating a little better. Drank more water


Thanks guys for your support! Jelly I really liked your quote about the only way to fail is to quit. I fell off of my horse the last couple of days but I am right back on it rearing to go.
