Today I hit a pretty big milestone in my weight loss journey. 76 lbs lost. I've been at this for 27 weeks. I am over half way to the goal my doctor set for me. I'm not sure I will stop at that weight. That will just get me to overweight. I think I may try to go another 30 to get me to that healthy BMI. I hope I have it in me!
I'm finding that foods that I was able to turn away from easily have been tempting me a little. I was on vacation last week and I had an incident one afternoon where I stuffed a piece of pizza in my mouth before dinner. I tracked the points but it was so out of character for me on this journey. I also ate 2 cookies last week. Again, something I had not done in months. It wasn't that I felt deprived. I hadn't been craving either. It was a very stressful week. I know....vacation....stressful????? I was working a day camp at our church & there were some issues!!!! But for the very first time, I was filled with doubt about whether I can be successful at keeping the weight off. I know that I am still in the early learning process of eating like a normal person. This is a forever thing. It's not like I'm going to graduate from WW. I stopped myself before damage was done & got back on track. I was happy & relieved to see a 4.4 lb. loss on the scale this morning. I know I can have all those yummy things. I just can't have them all in one day! I think I survived the first real big test.
