“The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed.” - Nelson Boswell
Well
my necks bigger than Mike Tysons right now, thought it was going down last
night, just looked like an egg sticking out but this morning its all swollen
again, hoping it’s because I’ve been lying down, fingers crossed. Painkillers are helping and they’ll get me
through my working days this week ;) so I’ll be there!
Staying
on track was difficult yesterday, I’m glad I hadn’t been to do a big shop, with
the cupboards bare’ish I could only eat so much, if there had been any cheese
and onion crisps in the house it would’ve all been over. Television is rubbish, I couldn’t concentrate
to read, so I just sat round a little out of sorts wishing I could concentrate
to do something, hopefully I’m a bit better today and fingers crossed the
swelling goes down soon!
Let’s focus on the positive, we
all know when we lose weight there are so many benefits connected with it and
just one was posted in our Facebook group (for
my meeting members only) by a lovely member of mine who’s done fantastically
so far having lost 45.5lb (over 3 stone), this is what Sam wrote;
“You know when you've always had 1 friend whose
figure you've always admired ...WELL I’VE JUST FITTED INTO HER DRESS! I'll say
it again Bev's Weight
Watchers is amazing!”
Now that is cause for
celebration, that’s one of those none scale victories that just make you grin
wide like a Cheshire cat. I love it when
my members share those kids of happy moments with me, I’ve received texts from
members in changing rooms sharing they joy with me – it’s brilliant.
One of the ladies at the
church handed me a couple of pair of second hand jeans last Thursday to try on
and anyone who know me knows when it comes to buying jeans I’ve got a funny
shape body, I’ve spent hours in a Levi shop only to leave feeling deformed
because they couldn’t find a pair that fit me correctly. So I looked at these jeans and they were size
12 from Next, I smiled and said they won’t fit me, she insisted I try them on
and they did, I was thrilled, they even fit in length too, chuffed didn’t come
close especially as they were 50p a pair – result.
So
think about some of the changes you’ve noticed, or if you’re struggling to get
on track think of some of the changes you’d like to notice! We celebrated Rachel being at goal for a year
last Thursday after losing 11 stone, and as she wrote in her words “It’s been
the best year of my life, here’s to many more!”
See
you can lose it and keep it off forever, you can change how you think about
food and how you behave around it, if you work on your thoughts as well as
what/when and how you eat at the same time, the changes you make will last,
there isn’t a quick solution, this way is much more enjoyable. I like food, I’ll always enjoy eating, I’ll
even overeat at times because it serves a purpose for me, I’m okay with that,
it’s part of my personality and as long as it isn’t making me unhappy nor
unhealthy it’s ok.
So
back to my tracker I didn’t do too badly with my eating yesterday,
Breakfast

WW spread 2pp

That’s
more or less my weeklies wiped out and although I did earn activity ProPoints because
I’ve barely moved the last 3 days, I’m ignoring them. Weigh day tomorrow, so I’m going to opt for a
F&H day today I think, see what I can concoct to keep me satisfied.
Here’s
to a filling, healthy and happy Monday of Eating Gorgeous and Being BeYouTiful
even with a thick neck ;)
