It is time. I am at 160 pounds - not the heaviest I've been, but not the lightest. My goal is to get to 130 pounds. I live in Canada and joined Weight Watchers a few weeks ago. I work out, I don't mind drinking water, my problem is portion size and those who try to sabotage me. Once I tell someone I am on a diet, they either get jealous, start giving me boxes of cookies which I started to give to my husband to hand out to his co-workers, look me up and down and judge for themselves if I really lost any weight, and say hurtful things about me behind my back.

So this is my journal - hopefully it will give me a place to rave and rant.
 
Know how you feel

Yeah, I know how you feel. Everyone wants to be supportive, but feels the need to test your dedication and try to sabotage you. The hardest part for me is the food portions as well, and I find myself cheating from time to time.
 
I'm not sure what your innuendo is suggesting but okay lol. And yeah, that's family for you, always there to push that knife in your back just a little deeper.
 
I go for my weigh in on Saturday and I am worried. I don't know if I lost any pounds even though I weighed exactly the same as I did last week. I work out an hour a day, 6 days a week. I ate fine today - no overeating - guess I will just have to wait and see.
 
Don't get discouraged if you don't lose weight right away. I know some people can drop pounds quickly when they start a diet...I didn't, it took me a month to see any results. But if you know you are doing the right thing, just keep on track and the results will show up!

When you get "weighed in", or do they tape and weigh you to determine your BMI?
 
Slight difference this morning. I weighed myself at my home and I was 158.5 - got to WW and they weighed me in at 159.8... I weigh myself without my pants and socks on... yeah, I had to keep those on when I was there.

I didn't stay for the meeting - I never do. I don't feel comfortable inside a church and everyone looks mad, angry, sad and depressed there. Got my book 3 and left.
 
Mother-In-Law always eats out - she never cooks - for herself or for us. fine, I can handle going out, I had a great veggie burger, but the witch tries to force fries on me. I think fries are gross, greasy, yucky. I tell her no thanks and she is like WHY? I told them I don't want them, I don't care for them.. she eats 2 orders of fries in front of me. She gets all defensive because her best friend sells Herbal Life and I am on Weight Watchers so she has to know everything that is going on.

For some reason I am getting turned off by cheese and I used to be a big cheese lover. Now I don't know why... my main thing right now is to drink lots of water. I am really afraid this week. I want to loose at least 2 pounds... maybe 3 this week-- but I don't know. I worked out for an hour today, but I had a few pieces of garlic bread. I feel yucky now, my body is trying to tell me something.
 
I feel embarrassed. I weigh the same as I did last week - no changes. Tomorrow is my weigh-in and if I weigh more than what I did last week I don't know what I am going to do.
 
you'l'l keep going is what you will do...

In all seriousness - focus on the process and the building new habits not so much on the results - by eating properly and exericising the result will come....

Why are you embarassed that there was no change? How are you feeling about your eating and exercising this week? Do you think you were on track?

Weight fluctuations will happen... Measurements tend to be far more accurate to gauge progress... if you keep track of your weight overtime - you will usually see the fluctuations as they coincide to your hormonal cycle..


(I haven't been to a WW meeting in forever, but they used to do private weigh ins if you wanted to do a little disrobing... but as long as you're wearing the same thing as the previous weigh in - what you're wearing shouldn't make a adifference.)
 
Hey maleficent,

Thanks for responding. I was about to sign off thinking no one was going to give me any feedback. I appreciate it though.

I think with Weight Watchers I am fine with the weigh-in. When I go there, there is maybe 2 people or less waiting in line to get weighed in. I miss the one-on-oneness I had at Herbal Magic but this gets me going along fine too. I don't go to the meetings after I get weighed in. You see, I find everyone sitting there -- they all look mad, unhappy, mean -- no smiles, kinda discouraged so I leave. A lot of people leave. I don't think I need to be motivated... it is my portion size I need to watch and trying to keep that water intake up...

I didn't eat all day until the evening last night and I used up all my points for that dinner. I have some construction happening in my backyard.. it is loud, noisy and I don't feel comfortable working out downstairs when our blinds you can almost see through, but I did work, just not as hard. Hopefully they will be done this weekend. I've had a few headaches too from the noise and all I want to do is lay down.

And it doesn't help that have my period too this week, but I haven't gained anything even though I usually did before WW. So maybe it is a plus.

And yeah, I wear the same thing to my weigh-ins, good point! Light pair of nice linen track pants and a light top.

So yeah, I will keep going and hope that next week is better. I am going grocery shopping this week so I can stay on track.

Thanks for your reply. Now I don't feel so bad;)

I used to hate the WW meetings -back when i went - the calories given to a person were always super low - so Ithink the lack of food made people cranky - and the water made them have to pee constantly -so maybe it's that look that they have yo go to the bathroom ;)

eh -just m ake fun of 'em :D
 
hahaha--- maybe they are cranky - it is first thing in the morning to so who knows... and I can relate to all that water - I was stuck on the highway and I had to go so bad... everywhere I go I have to know where the bathroom is... that is why I don't like drinking so much.
