Dear Peeps...
Today marks the beginning of Week Three in my Weight Watchers "DIE-IT (Diet)! I've decided I DO NOT LIKE that "D" word (no matter how it's spelled!). The older I get the harder it is to regain control of just WHAT IT IS I put into my mouth! I was once just a tiny little kid...I'm wondering what happened!?
Now...let it be said~I don't have a ton of weight to lose. That may be at least one of the reasons why it's been soooo easy to excuse away shedding the extra poundage. Maybe if I was a heavier gal I'd have more incentive to get in shape. Maybe not. I just know I don't like how I FEEL any longer and that has got to be enough to bring change into my life! Additionally, I don't EVER want my children to see my chest cracked open (sorry for the mental picture) because I need bypass surgery like my mother did a few years ago~ I will do anything to spare them such a agony...
SCARY!
Still...weight loss success is coming. Slowly. But, it is coming! Today I'm down a full ten pounds and it feels good to fit back into my 'favorite blue jeans'. Let it be said I have an iron will. I do. If I decide to do something I DO IT! Period. Even so...I can tell I'm older than I was the last time I decided to drop some weight. That was at least a decade ago and I don't remember being nearly this unfocused or even this whiny. Despite my stick-to-it-tive-ness attitude :), I've decided overall that losing excess weight is HARD WORK! I feel for those of you who struggle with this issue every day...
My poor Mr. AGPMan! If not for the simple fact he can also stand to lose a few pounds himself he'd be running for the hills.
No "Mimi's Chicken, Cranberry, Walnut, Blue Cheese Salad" for me for a while (or him)! I nearly fainted when I realized it contains almost ALL my daily allowed points in that one tiny dish! :(
Blessings to you as you make good choices for your life...Rebecca
