Finally out of the "fourest" again...

Jan 29, 2011

Today I saw something below 400 pounds on the scale and I wanted to cry... the last time I did weight watchers I started at 411 and it took me SO long to get to below 400 and I didn't get much below it either.  I want to see the continued downward trend before surgery, but I am listening to others here and not pushing myself to insanity with a specific number.  I have enough stress upcoming with having to move and the uncertainty around my employment that my main focuses are my daughter's stability and getting into a new place before I get to my surgery date to make it easier.  It felt like a real accomplishment today to see that on the scale, and I now need to put the scale away for a week so I don't hop on it every day and worry if I see one day fluctuate back to 400 - the scale can really become an obsession for me, and I have to control how often I get on it or I can go down a bad road.

I feel very comfortable now with the morning shake, and I find it does tide me over well until lunch so I am happy that I have done a week of that without fail and haven't snacked before lunch.  I was also surprised to see how few calories I took in today - only 1145 so far - I actually plan to add something, I remember on WW how I stalled when I wasn't getting my points in and my body went into starvation mode - all the sudden my body seemed to store everything I gave it.  Now the trick is finding the right thing to have, I actually think I will have another shake because they really fill me up and a couple hundred more calories would round out my day today.
