June has come
Yesterday was weigh-in day, and I was down 1.6. Yay.
Except that I’m not excited about it. Yes, it’s a loss, and while it wouldn’t win me any prizes on the Biggest Loser, it’s not an insignificant acheivement.
The problem is I don’t trust it. Oh, I trust the WW scale and I believe I did the work and counted the points and all, so I believe it’s a legitimate loss, and not one to be sneezed at given that it was over two weeks, one of which my in-laws were here which means not eating like we normally do.
What I don’t trust is that it will last. My past experience has shown that I can do the same stuff two weeks in a row with different results. I’m going to be as good as I can this week and see what happens. As far as I can tell, nothing is going on this weekend that threatens to sabotage things, so maybe I can have another god week.
We’ll see.

You can do it!
Also, don’t think about it as “being good.” (which the opposite is “being bad’) Think of it as making the best choices you can in every moment. And making choices that you actually LIKE.
I did WW many many times in the past and always failed (until now) bc I felt like I was somehow punishing myself. It’s important to see it as a way of doing something awesome and wonderful for yourself. Until I changed that, I always yo-yoed and never reached my goal.
BTW, 1.6 is my “magic number!” (it’s been my lose # several times now!)
