I went to Weight Watchers today for my first weigh in after Christmas to find that I've gained 3½lbs. Now, I'd usually be getting really depressed at a figure like that but today I was actually happy about it! Mostly because I know how much I ate over the holiday period, how little I tracked (not at all!) and how much exercise I got (not much!). I also know that my scales at home told me last Friday that I had gained over half a stone!! It seems that my strict tracking, more exercise and eating waaaay better did the trick this week and limited the damage for my first weigh in. So yes, I'm actually happy with a 3½lbs gain.
I've been feeling a lot more positive this week and I'm thinking that maybe it's because I feel like I'm back in control of my eating again.... something that completely eluded me last year! Hopefully, I'll be able to hold onto this feeling for the rest of the year and can have some good results to show for it at the end of 2012.
How is everyone else going with their New Year Resolutions? Anyone else out there trying to lose weight this year??
Me! I had lost 2.5 stone with Slimming World but I've had a few slips recently, usually due to comfort eating. As soon as I feel my mood slipping my eating habits start to deteriorate :-( I keep telling myself, its only food.... (if only!) Good luck with your journey!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the weight loss Lisa-Jane! My slips are generally comfort eating too, and boredom! Keep going, it *is* only food. I need to keep it in perspective too.
