Fighting the Good Fight


I know I am not the only one that feels I fight with the scale on a daily basis. Almost willing it to move to the left just a little more! Yesterday was weigh in #3 at WW. I lost 1.6 which brings my grand total to date to 9.8. 2/10 of a lb away from 10lbs. after I left I thought maybe my earrings were weighing me down. Mental Note will have to take them off next time. This is not my first rodeo at the WW. In May 2002 I joined & by May 2003 I had lost 40 lbs. Then life happened & I guess the one thing I could control was my good friend food. It seems to be a love/hate relationship most of the time. They say it's all mental so maybe I just need a hypnotist you know to plant the seeds "no I don't like sweets especially chocolate", and "Yes, I love to exercise". I have not started the incorporation of exercise in my new regime. I know I need to and I have to if I want to lose & be successful in my weight loss. So honestly the scale is not my enemy I am my enemy when I think about it. No one can do it for me I just have to do it for myself. Maybe there is still some fear in the fact of what happened previously. I just have to learn to let go and have faith. After all that is what sustains us. After all I want to look like I did in May of 2003 again! I miss that Old Navy shirt & my Old Navy low rise jeans. They still hang in my closet in hopes that someday we will meet again. I am getting there, don't get me wrong I feel like I have the renewed willpower. Just yesterday the big boss brought in donuts. Maybe if it had been a Dunkin Donuts Managers Special I would have caved; however, I didn't I stayed strong & will have to as I know what is important now.
