Well another gain this week, 1.2lbs.
THIS IS HARD! Last year I was nursing exclusively still and enjoying the extra 10pts. Now I'm obviously not and I find it quite challenging with warmer weather and going to friends houses on Fridays. I know...control myself. Last night I tried to do well, my girlfriend made drinks, I only had about half of a margarita but my goodness the salt! I was dreading my WI this morning. I tried to drink about 2L before bed to balance out. Than we had chicken, ribs, salad, definitely good choices but soo much salt again.
I was talking to my leader after our meeting today. I know this is something I need to do to lose, but now I'm at the point that if I don't want to count points I will gain and I'm tired of doing it. Its been 18mths now. I guess if I would continue to go down than I would be more satisfied but I've been stuck around 190lbs for 4mths. She agreed with similar feelings, how some weeks she honestly doesn't count because she is tired of it as well. So I will just continue and try to do better.
I know this is a battle, blah, blah, blah. But I eat pretty healthy and always have. I first joined WW when I was 8yrs old! I've been doing this FOREVER! I know what food is good to eat. For me its the sugary temptations that kill me. I eat well for all of my meals, its the sneaky things that end up in my mouth and are not planned that ruin my efforts. Everyday I say "well start over again" and some days I continue with my good meal choices than I get stressed, impatient or bored and go to the temptations for releif. I'm afraid to let this weight/eating issue show through to my daughters as we all feel this way. I never say I'm fat, but I'm not content with fitting into my clothes. I think that is what I want more than anything is to fit in some, not even all of my old clothes.
Thanks for listening to my frustration and vent :). Now I start on the next week and hope next weekend shows a lower number.

Weeks like this are always hard... but just remember to keep your head up!! There are weeks that I don't journal either, but I always find myself "creeping up" those weeks due to all the crazy things that happened!
And all things considered... with your daughter's cake and the party this week... ONLY up 1.2?!? You had to have made some awesome choices somewhere this week! WAY TO GO.
it truly is a lifetime committment,isn't it? don't know what to offer you in the way of advice except to say that you do have the power to change your habits and that if you want to break your "plateau" of sorts, you CAN do it. I seriously am still so envious of your activity level and know that you need that fuel to feed your body to be able to DO all that activity...have you ever looked into the Wendie plan...i've seen a few threads on the boards about it, and even shared it with one of my "mommies and me" board members (on the newbies boards) and she tried it and got through her plateau and into the 140's!
look it up if you haven't already...just a thought!
As you know I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I always seem to slip up somewhere. Counting drives me batty so I don't do it. Weighing myself made me batty so I quit for one month. We just need to believe that we can do this, quit making excuses, stop allowing food to be something we associate with being sad, mad, happy, or bored. It's fuel for our bodies.
I dont' have kids of my own and I refuse to have any of my own until I get my health under control. I want to teach my kids good things so they don't have to be sitting where I am someday.
We can do this. Ups. Downs. We can!!
