Posted to my WW buddies on GOAD, titled... GoaD GROUP THERAPY – WHAT ARE YOU PROUD OF? Thanks for your patience & thanks for thinking about me... I've been getting many inquiries into how I am doing. Between traveling in July & camping each weekend in August so far, I haven't been to a meeting to weigh-in since my last entry in my weight chart. I'll be heading to my meeting this weekend (8/21) & will update my chart accordingly! :o) This is an excerpt from a RAMBLING called GETTING YOU PAST THE FAILURES BEING PROUD OF MYSELF... I really had to sit myself down this morning & think about this... I’m struggling... well... I guess most of you wouldn’t necessarily call it STRUGGLING... I’m 100% OP (well, 98%)... I’m making conscious choices, I’m exercising (weight training w/ a personal trainer), I’m liking the shape that is emerging (I found my collar bone last week!!!)... feeling feminine & sexy... I’m happy & content... but that might be the problem, I think I’m TOO CONTENT... too PATIENT these days. The scale is NOT moving. It’s hovering. Yeah, I know, because I’m weight training, I’m gaining muscle, so I’m probably losing fat too, but I’m tired of not seeing any movement on the scale. I have lost a total of NOTHING in NINE WEEKS... a total of around 12 lbs THIS YEAR! THAT is rough. I’m not in a hurry... I know that the life I am living each day is what is important... that’s the life that is not only going to get me to goal, but more importantly, it’s the life that is going to keep me at a healthy weight for the rest of my life. THAT is HUGE... that is what is really important, but I still want to see movement on the scale!!! :o) I need to get past this “patient” phase & start getting mad, start mixing things up, right? I’ve become too comfortable... TOO PATIENT... I’m just not so sure what to do. Guess it’s time to figure it out, huh?? Trainer, Doctor & Leader all say "more protein, more fat & more points"... so that's what I'm starting to do... hope it works! So, I’m proud of myself for what I’ve accomplished so far, I’m proud of myself for making this more about the lifestyle & less about the weight-loss, but I’m obviously needing to pull some of the focus back to weight-loss.
