I'm back on a weight loss journey.
I've done it before, although at that point I only had 60 lbs to lose.
Now it's 106 total.
But I'm trying not to think of it in such a big number, it'll be baby steps for me.
If I think of it any other way, the thought of how long it will take discourages me.
Like they say, 1 lbs is 4 sticks of butter, so I try to think of it that way. It helps.
I'm doing WW, which I love, and have done before. But I always lose my motivation, wish me luck that it won't happen again.
I want to be healthy, and fit. I'm far from fit right now.
This photo is my motivation. I knew I had gained weight, but I must've been in denial. Because I didn't realize my body looked like this. When I saw the pictures from our trip, I was actually kind of schocked and this is one of the better ones. ;0)
It's not just about being "skinny" for me, it's about being healthy!

You look great in this picture. alright, you'd like to be thinner, but you're a beautiful girl!
I'm in the same boat as you...in denial, but I know my weight continues to creep up... I hope Ww is going great for you. I hope to get back on track soon too. Wish me luck.

Kimberly,
You can do it!!
Honestly, the only way I can do it is to get rid of all of the "crap food" in the house. Just don't have it there at all! The kids don't really need it, and if DH wants it, he can get something while he's at work. It's not about having willpower, it's about not having the temptation all the time. If there's nothing but healthy to eat, you'll eat something healthy.
I still splurge, but instead of buying a big bag of m&m's, I buy a small single serving bag as a treat while I'm out. when I go to the grocery store, I buy ONLY what's on my list.
It's really really hard, it is. But once you get in the mode of doing it--and you force yourself to do it for a month--it gets easier, I promise!! I love weight watchers because it really makes me think about everything I'm eating...before WW I didn't realize HOW MUCH I was eating.
Take care!!! You can do it!!
