It’s like being possessed isn’t it
sometimes, you get up in the morning and make a decision that this is how you’re
going to behave, this is how your day will pan out and it starts off okay, you
go to work, go through your day, everything’s good, the odd thing happens to
knock your neck in or test your strength but you cope. Then you arrive home have you evening meal,
relax in front of the tv and BANG, it happens, next thing you know you find
yourself stood in front of an open fridge, no idea how you got there - something
has possessed your mind and body and transported you back into the kitchen! This happened to be last night and luckily I’d
put the red wine in the shed to stop me from having a drink, but the
supernatural power that had entered my body was clever, it spotted a small bottle
of Weight Watcher wine in the fridge door, I’d been given it in my goody bag
from conference, it started whispering to me, “that’s low in ProPoints that is,
half your normal wine so it’s not the same, plus its white that’s not real
wine, go on, it’ll be fine, you know you’re not going to do well in the morning
on the scales anyway so what difference will a small tiny low in alcohol bottle
of wine make, seriously, enjoy it, it’s Wednesday!” Damn it, I find myself lifting the bottle out
of the fridge when it’s at it again, “Oh and whilst your hear, you may as well
have a handful of boiled ham too, that Sainsbury’s basic range is much nicer
than Bernards!” Mmm whatever, even my supernatural entity is a bloody spendthrift
shopoholic, there’s no hope for me lol!
I’m not confident heading towards to
scales this morning, and I can’t just blame the bottle of Weight Watcher wine
either, I’ve not had the best week, losing 1/2lb last week psychologically
knocked my neck in even though I kept telling myself, that’s 3lb in two
weeks. Then knowing I’d got conference
on Sunday stopped me sticking to it prior, and knowing I’d done damage Sunday meant
I didn’t get back into it till Tuesday.
Add to all this then joy of it being that time of the month and me
turning into a starving savage, well you’re starting to get the picture aren’t
you! I could continue there’s lack of
sleep (4am I was up Sunday), mom not being 100% (we’re off to docs Monday), etc
etc but I won’t.
All of this is of course is one massive,
overblown easy to make up excuse to not still to my plan! Because I know in the past I’ve had much more
than that lot going on and I’ve still stayed on track. Hell when I got to goal in August 2004 I was
possibly at an all time low that year, I was in a job I absolutely couldn’t
bear any longer and comfort eating had become the norm, but I managed to turn
that around. So I know that I can this
too.
This morning I will brave the scales,
take it on the chin, accept that Filling & Healthy is probably not the best
option for me and get back on track with my ProPoints counting. The fridge is now empty of Weight Watcher
wine, and I have performed a quick exorcism this morning on the supernatural entity! I’ve got pork chops for lunch and the last of
the beef hotpot (minus the beef because Alfie got that as a treat when he was
bitten) so it’s a veggie hotpot for tea then.
Tomorrow lunch is already planned, I’m making stuffed chicken breast
with St Agur cheese mmm. Yep I’ll take
an oath this morning, because otherwise I’m going to feel silly Saturday
morning in my meeting every week saying “yeah I gained again”, I can’t be doing
that can I!
So here goes, 'I solemnly and sincerely declare
and affirm that for the next week (one step at a time!) I will stay focused on
my weight loss efforts, I will remain within my ProPoints allowance and the tracker evidence I shall give will be the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
7 days,
that’s all it is, I can do that – can’t I!?
So can you, and if 7 days seems to difficult, let’s take it one day, one
meal, one step at a time.
We can do
this ;-) The weight loss in my meetings
this week has proven that! Apparently I
had a ‘pep talk’ with one of my members last week which resulted in a 6.5lb
weight loss for her this week, tomorrow I will share her Journal tracker entries
with you, so you can see that it is liveable, doable and weight loss is achievable.
In the
meantime, have a fantastic day, I’m off to get my bran flakes x
