Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen
our own life. Laughing at someone else's can shorten it. Cullen Hightower
There’s nothing
better than being appreciated, I already love my job immensely and it was
lovely yesterday to receive an email from my manager telling me Weight Watchers
had received the following email from a member about me, to say I was pleased
is an understatement;
Email: I am writing to let you know that my
weight-watchers leader Beverley Longsden is amazing. She is understanding,
encouraging, supportive and always so positive. She is everything you could
wish for in a leader. She is enthusiastic about weightwatchers and the
pro-points plan, and her meetings are interactive, informative and motivating!
I have been to other meetings but none compare to Bev's. She is a credit to
weight-watchers and deserves recognition for all the hard work, commitment and
energy she gives! She is an inspiration!
That just made my day,
I was smiling all day long. However other
than walk the dog, I didn’t do much of anything yesterday, I was very lazy and
it was great. The only problem with
sitting round relaxing and watching television is I haven’t quite learnt to do
it yet without wanting to eat. I’m not
sure if it’s because the tv I’m watching isn’t riveting enough to keep my
complete attention or just because of habit, I’m still trying to work it
out. However I did start my truth
tracker, here’s just a small bit of it to give you an idea of what I mean;
Truth tracker - Sunday 22nd
January
After almost 12 hours sleep I’m still shattered from a full on week at work, a night away and two days shopping.
Me and Alfie walked for over an hour this morning and when I got back I really enjoyed a bowl of Weight Watcher oats with banana. However a few hours later and I want to eat again. I don't think I'm hungry just fancy something nice.
We have fish finger wraps for lunch which I enjoy for 12pp but I still want something else. So I eat a tin of asparagus, I also warm a tin of Weight Watchers chicken noodle soup but decided I wasn't that hungry as it wasn’t very nice, so I left it.
I think I only want to eat because I'm sat round doing nothing but I haven’t got the energy to do anything. So I'm going to watch telly and remind myself I'm not hungry I just have my eating head on.
Having just wrote the above I'm suddenly not hungry anymore!
With ten minutes of writing that sentence, a woman on tv has popcorn in her hand. I instantly thought “ooo popcorn I want some”. Then started laughing when I realised what I'd just said after writing I'm not hungry minutes before!

So on this occasion I think I wanted to eat purely for something to do,
I wasn’t bored because I wanted to sit around watching television. Also food is delicious and something I like
to indulge in so when you’ve got time to sit and think, food is one of the
things that comes into my mind and there are so many adverts (which I fast
forward when I can) showing people eating, and even people in tv programmes are
eating and show you something you haven’t seen for a while, for example the
popcorn, I’ve had three packets of microwave popcorn in my cupboard for six
months and haven’t touched it, yesterday because a woman had a bag in the
cinema, I WANTED!
How do you solve this habit? Practice
and time I suppose, also by not having the stuff that makes you stray in the
house, I’m throwing that popcorn away today, then I won’t be tempted. I’ve always thought it’s a really good job
KFC and MacDonald’s don’t deliver because that could hinder my diet enormously!
Well at least I’ve got my breakfast sorted, I am absolutely hooked on
the Weight Watcher oats with a banana stirred in, for me it’s like having a
pudding for breakfast and my stomach can cope with it and it will keep me going
till lunchtime when I’m at work. I must
say I really enjoyed the fruit salad we had at the hotel Saturday morning but
fruit doesn’t always taste that good – if it did I’d buy it more often.
Here’s to a week of truthful tracking and lots of weight loss on my
scales, it was 825lbs last week (59 stone!)
Are you going to track – I will!
