Yes, I know its Thursday but its been a rough week. A good week I’ve had a blast. I will have a Blissdom Conference re-cap at some point cause it was awesome. Blissdom also lead me out of town for a few nights. A few nights that were crammed with 2 weeks worth of activities! The first time I went out of town since Weigh in Wednesday I made a bunch of food to take with me and really prepared to be away from home so I know it can be done however that is not what I did this time. One of the instructors told us we needed to write about something that scares us… and writing to you this week about my failure scares me. Being grossly honest with my weight struggle scares me and I am going to TRY. Not saying I will make it or it will be good but I will try.
The scale shows a 3lb gain which could be for many reasons. First I didn’t really think I fell that hard off the band wagon but I was doing low carb and well was carb friendly at Blissdom. I honestly could feel the difference in how I felt and my skin. Super strict seems to help me cause I don’t stray but when “forced” to (I know nobody held a gun to my head and forced me to eat that YoCrunch Yogurt) it seems to catapult me into another world of well I will start back tomorrow. Then when I don’t start back “tomorrow” that brings in feelings of failure. Then feelings of why bother you are just going to fail again. Then the well I guess I am not going to be able to kick this habit so let’s just go back to our old was of eating. Then that’s that and the diet/lifestyle change attempt is gone again.
Well not this time cause I think some of you out there actually read this here Weigh in Wednesday stuff. Actually I know you do A LOT of you do but most of you are BLOG CREEPERS which means you read it cause you a.) are generally interested but don’t know how to leave a comment or b.) are nosy and love to hear what my weight struggle is like c.) you are generally interested, know how to leave a comment and just don’t
Seriously leave a comment on the post let me know you are out there other than the fact that I can see all the page views on google analytics. It encourages me not to quit if I know you are out there. Isn’t not quiting half the battle in the diet and exercise arena?
I’ve decided to change diet paths. I am not sure which avenue I will go down. Low carb really is good for me. Being able to eat sugar and carbs is a dangerous highway for me so I will steer clear of them. I have done well on Weight Watcher’s before I have also failed more times than I can count on WW. South Beach seems to complicated for my current schedule/lifestlye. So I think this week I am just going to keep a food journal and kinda re-asses my habits and take a look at where I am at and when the temptations come in during the day.
I have a dear friend who started a healthy eating plan with her family in January and I will be bring you a lot of her recipes in the upcoming weeks if you are looking for some delicious fresh ideas. (Thanks Amy Williams-Monk)

I am still reading:). We all have bad days and weeks…chin up…get back on track. You can do this!
I know far to well the weight battle,I can also tell you that if you do not deal with the behind the scenes,of why you over eat,make bad food choices ect.,ect.,you will never win the battle,I will be happy to go more in depth about my struggle,but not on a blog,you can email me,and I will be more than happy to share my story!!
Still reading and you know I know all about those struggles too. Let me know if I can help. I’m hopefully about to start limiting processed carbs and focus on protein, fruits, and veggies. (Not to lose weight this time, but to hopefully avoid gestational diabetes)
I have been keeping up with you! I realized late last night that I missed your Wednesday post so I went looking for it today! It’s easy to fall off the wagon, and hard to get back on…but in the end, the results will be worth it! If it helps, I weigh in every Wednesday thanks to this blog, and it is nice to know that I’m not the only one that has bad weeks. WE CAN DO THIS!!! We just have to pick ourselves back up when we fall down.
We all have our bad days. I am doing WW online and I like it much better than trying to make a meeting. I do have a FB group that I am accountable to though. Also, I remember that I may not can change my eating habits everyday, but treat each day as it comes and don’t think of it as I can’t eat this, but I just need to make good decisions. Forbidden things are always better. Good :luck!
Oh girl, I have been there SO many times! I spent 8 of the last 10 years over 200 lbs. (yikes!) I lost mine with WW, quit going, have gained 20 back & just started WW back this week. I need the accountability that WW gives, but you have this weekly blog weigh-in for the same thing. I also HIGHLY recommend keeping a food/weight journal. Sometimes it feels like you’ve been stuck at the same weight forever, but then you look at all the tiny losses over the month and realize you have lost 2 lbs. Every little loss is still a success! And 3 lbs. for a weekend away isn’t that bad. Most of that is likely “water gain” that will come back off easily. Anyway, no matter the path you choose, YOU CAN DO THIS!! God gives us the grace to do these things one day at a time. Don’t give up & do remember that His grace is sufficient!
