I KNEW I spoke to soon when I went off and tooted my own horn. If there's one thing harder than losing the weight, it's keeping it off. Can I get an AMEN? Seriously y'all.
As I pointed out at my Weight Watchers meeting last night, I think the reason I'm "big boned" is because I'm happy. When I'm stressed I don't eat. So, it's no surprise that I lost all my weight and hit my goal weight and lifetime status all while Carrie was so sick and then when she passed away. Makes sense. And now that my little heart is on the mend, and I'm laughing again - Fatty McGee rears himself on my thighs and ass. Sigh.
I have to stay within 2 pounds of my goal weight and weigh in once a month as a lifetime member. Last month, I didn't make my cut. So, I'm back on the wagon. I have 4 pounds to lose. I'd like to sandbag and go a little under my goal, for a little cushion - pun intended. But damn, that makes it 7-10 pounds to lose. And I can't even lose the 4 to get back on track! AAACK!
I'll admit, I got a little complacent. Got back in the kitchen. Started baking. Not smart. I just love to cook. And I love rich yummy foods. Tack in the fact that it's starting to get cold and I'm going to need hot soup, hot cocoa, and probably lots of cheesy casseroles and this is not good.
Why is it so hard to do good? Geesh. So, today, I'm watching the teaser for Rachael Ray and she says she's highlighting Weight Watchers. I'm so excited, is she going to make a meal and tell us how many points it is? Uh, NO. She showed a chick that lost 100 pounds on Weight Watchers, then went on to make a fatty stoup with CHEESE BISCUITS. (Rachael Ray, read the next line with rage and sarcasm.) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INSPIRING EFFN RECIPE.
That's how I roll. (Wait til you hear about the work out problem.)
You could always do what I did and hop on the "Failing Pancreas Diet!" I think I lost about 25 pounds in around a month so who's laughing now! Not me really because I wish I could eat cheese...
