No more delay tactics
What incredible support. You told me exactly what I wanted (and needed) to hear about returning to WW and weighing in.
Yesterday after I updated I sat and looked at the meeting days and times. I needed one that 99.9% of the time I can get to. Thursday lunchtime one looked my best option – so I thought – this is it, next Thursday I’m facing up to it. Then I realized hang on a minute – it is Thursday, I could go now!
But I did the typical thing I tend to do – argue with myself!
Slack Anne: If I leave it till next week that gives me a whole week to get my weight down a little first
Positive Anne: You’ve been thinking that for way over a year now! Get of your bum Anne and go now!
Slack Anne: I'm too embarrassed:-(
Positive Anne: The sooner you go and face it the better - just go!
So I did….. 75.6 – OUCH!!!
5.5 up from my lowest weight:-(
I was close with my estimate – but hey, I’m back.
Weighing in and facing it was nowhere as hard I anticipated. One of my WW 'buddies' was behind the scales (oh no I thought I didn't realise she worked today!!) I told her it would not be good - but she was great, both supportive and understanding.
I’m remembering the buzz of being at my lightest, feeling slimmer and I'm going to be there again and lower. I know what to do – I just have to keep focused and DO IT! Sitting and actually listening to the meeting and taking it on board really made me think. While I do pat myself on the back for not going back to old eating habits - what I have been following has been a pretty weak version of the points system.
I’ve set up another little spreadsheet to help me track – and I did – everything!!
- Took Toby for a walk (well I think he took me)
- I braved the cold and went to the colder pool for an aqua session (something I had put aside as it is cold to get into!)
- I drunk water
This may all sound boring!! - BUT I’m heading back down again.
You know – I have every confidence in myself. I’m never ever giving up! Over the next few days I'm thinking of goals I want to achieve to help me on my way.
I want to keep walking even just a little every day - I enjoyed it while on holiday. But this morning woke and it is pouring down. First thoughts - bugger no walk today. Then I got my thoughts together and 'remembered' the rain proof jacket. I'm wearing it right now and have Toby's lead beside me - we are of for walk in the rain. LOL Peter said I'm an idiot but I'm of rain and all. Back then for a nice warm shower. Sounds good to me.

Well done Anne :) I think I am in a similar place as you. I am telling myself positive comments these days and instead of just thinking about it all day I am getting up and getting walking on my trusty 'treadie' LOL. It helps I think to have two friends who are on this 'kick' with me. One comes into town 3 mornings a week to do her 30mins plus on treadie and the other is focussing on healthy eating. Just small changes but things that we can sustain long term. There is no race, just doing it all in our way and time, but supporting each other in different ways along the way. Hope that makes sense. I am also going to get Jo to help me set up a blog as I think that by making myself accountable it will help, even if its just me that reads it LOL
So well done and thanks too for in your own way you have helped me.
It's great to have support :)Have a great weekend.
Cheers :)
Good for you walking in the rain, I would too today, but Stew thinks I'd be stoooopid to cos I'm still recovering so I will not then! Darn cos I'm all fired up !!! see you tomorrow, my place 10.30am
Did you melt???
I usually do in the rain......
Good on you for going for that walk in the rain, I don't know how bad it is up in Palmy but it is piddling down here in the capital.
You never stop suprising me with your determination, you WILL get that weight off!
Can't wait to hear how Chris's support group goes tomorrow.
It's fun walking in the rain isn't it??
Well done for going to the meeting I reckon that is the hardest thing to do and then afterwards you wonder why it was so hard aye... better to know the weight than to put your head in the sand aye... woohooo you.
Chubbymum
now that the bad news is over with you can get onto getting to goal again ... how exciting!!!
Good on you Anne. You always show such strenght and determination. And sometimes weighing is nowhere near as bad as dreading it!
Very happy that you made it to the meeting. And so happy to hear that you are back on track!! A new day ahead!!
