So, a few days ago, I finally got upset with myself enough to have a sit down talk with myself. I told myself that I needed to "poop or get off the pot" when it came to taking WW seriously. For 2 months, I had danced around, fiddle-farted and 2 stepped my way through a measly 5 pounds. I was finally sick of it. So, as I was talking to myself and realizing I needed motivation to keep going. A motivation that wasn't something that I could reward myself with or deny myself if I didn't get. I am just not good at denying myself. Well, that much is obvious, that's how I got to be as big as I did.
What motivation, internal or external, could I come up with that would make me finally get my arse back on track. I thunk and I thunk and then I wavered and got off the topic. I was thinking about vacations and holidays and then, wham, it hit me! My sister is coming for a visit Easter weekend. She hasn't seen me since I started WW. She last saw me at pre-WW weight. Could I lose another 5 pounds (or even 10) before she got here? Was that a challenge I was up for? It was. Because, I actually feel motivated again. I am using my mantra "Do I want to eat that or do I want to be skinny?" and it is working!
I am 3 days into my week and I have only used 2 weekly uh-oh points. I have made a concerted effort to eat more fruit and veggies and cook healthy meals at home. And, it's working, despite being so dang crazy busy this week. I am making wise choices, again. I am packing my lunch and water, again.
Has it paid off. I don't know yet. Last weigh in somehow I managed to lose 1.6 pounds but that was only 2 days into the new motivation. I somehow managed to earn another 5 pound star, making my total loss 36 lbs. I am working on losing 4 more pounds before she gets here. If I succeed, then I am taking her and myself out for a pedicure.
How about them apples!
