Weight Watchers - Week 3
So, I have been doing Weight Watchers for the past two weeks. So far, my weight loss is 4.8 pounds! My goal is to lose 25 lbs, or actually 20.2, since I already lost 4.8! With yesterday being the holiday, I ate too much - but today I am back on track. I better have at least a .02 weight loss at my next weigh in so that I can get my 5 lb gold star. Yes, that is how weight watchers works. Very similar to Violet's potty chart. I get a gold star sticker (to put on my weight loss chart) every 5 lbs I lose. Its very motivating. Oh, and when you get your gold star, everybody claps and cheers for you. I imagine the other women there are looking at me thinking, "why is that anorexic girl here" because I am still in denial that I am actually fat. I think what actually happened is, all the scales in the world (or at least mine, the one at my dr's office, and the one at weight watchers) are broken, and all my pants got shrunk in the dryer. That's really the only way to explain it. I have avoided mentioning my joining weight watchers on my blog - because then if I fail, everyone will know. I would rather everyone just think I am curvy and proud of it than know the truth, which is that I think my backside is quite repulsive these days, and that I'm not sure I have it in me to change it. But now you know - I am overweight and I don't like it. I joined weight watchers after my first daughter was born, and lost all of my baby weight, plus about 10 more lbs - so I know it works, and I know I can do it. Here's hoping for a really hot "after" picture being posted in a couple of months. Wish me luck!

I think you are going to easily repeat the success you had after Lucy. Once you start seeing the results then you will find that much more incentive and the things that make it hard will not be so hard anymore. At least you know you have a tool that works for you. I was 175 pounds for like 3 or 4 years. Well.. it took me that long to reach that, but still... I was more of me for a very long time. It's just a cycle. You do it until you don't anymore. I'm wishing you the best of luck and the invitation for running/walking in the park is still open. I think 7:00 am would be great! Next time, maybe I'll do 2 laps around. :)
I know what you mean about not telling anyone because you are afraid you will fail and everyone will know.
Congrats on your so-far weight loss. 20 pounds is not that much to lose. YOU CAN DO IT!
Cant wait to see that HOT pic.
I took a 20 oz. water bottle and put it on my digital scale (I need to include the digital part so you know I wasn't eyeballing a quivering scale-needle with my ano-dysmorphic perception of things). It weighed a whole damn pound. Fitness conscious girls drink a lot of water and if you get a couple bottles of water in you, it might throw off that 0.2. So don't freak. Or at least pee a lot before your weigh in so you get an accurate reading!
Yeah, you posted swimsuit pictures online and I am thinking you'll piss off every other lady at the WW meetings because you are not overweight. But I say screw 'em. Embrace your dysmorphia and do what makes you feel good.
OK, horrifying: I sound exactly like one of the commenters on the Seriously So Blessed blog, except that I'm serious. Go back and read my comment. WHOA. At least I didn't misuse the word "literally" eight times. Good luck with the WW. Fiber One bars are your friend.
I totally lobe fiber one bars.
I find myself sounding like the seriously,so blessed girl all the time. I think I'm even sounding more like her now that Ive been reading her blog.
And, I purposely posted a flattering (or at least what I thought was flattering) swimsuit picture to post on my blog. You didn't see the picture of my behind. If you did, you would understand.
I am proud of you for coming out and expressing how you truly feel. A lot of women are in the same boat as you, but they are afraid to "come out", because of failures or what others may think of them. So kudos..you may not think so, but you will affect a lot of women.
you can do it...i saw how good you looked after lucy...you will get there (even though i think you look great now)
