Back to week 1

OK, I really suck, up 1lb this week. I know I deserve but when I look back I think what a waste I did all that excercise this week to have a gain. I ran 3 days in hot hot heat and I ran a hill for 20min during a 45min run. I literally excercised so I could eat this week and that is not my purpose for doing WW. My purpose is to lose this fat.

So I understand its totally my fault that I sabbatoge myself but I need to get a grip. I looked back and realized that I've only lost 3lbs since May!! Seriously that is not good. I need to suck it up and resist temptation and eat good foods 100% of the time. This half-assed eating well isn't working. And whoever said losing weight is 80% food and the rest excercise is full of bunk, its 100% MAYBE 95% but for me its 100% of clean eating every day.

Oh how I'm ranting, just frustrated that after 8mths I don't have a handle on these cravings and just indulge every single time. Thin does feel better than anything else, yet I push that away to enjoy 10seconds of a treat. It makes no logical sense, except that I want the easy way out. I want to eat the same and still lose, which doesn't work for anybody.

Let's go Sarah, get your shit together!

I know it's hard. Hang in there. I try those mantras too ("A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and "Nothing tastes better than thin feels"). Really, they don't work for me. In an effort to curb my chocolate craving this week, I bought the 1 point chocolate WW bars. I'll let you know if they work :) Be kind to yourself. Being a mom is the most difficult job in the world.

Aww, it's hard to be perfect 100% of the time. Try not to beat yourself up! At least you are down 3 pounds! I haven't checked, but I'm probably down the same amount in the same time frame. I just try to tell myself that at least it is down and not up. And think about how many people are inspired by you (including me)!
