Well Buddies,
To date I have lost a total of 14 pounds. This last week wasn't that good of a loss only .6 but I firgure hey it is something since I did lose such a big loss last month. I was able to run today for a full 30 mins on the treadmill with no walking in between and that has been a big goal for me. :jump_jack
I have been reading the posts here since I began WW for the 4th time back on Jan 3rd,2006 and I post every now and then but nothing like everyone else here. I have to tell you all that you have been a great encouragement to me speacially to stay OP with my eating and excersise. I always think what would all my BCB think if I ate this. Not always bad things but it has a alot to do with protion control. I have learned much about portion control and also making new dishes to eat having variety keeps everything from becoming to old to quick.
My DH feels that I am obessed with BCB because I am online all the time now reading the posts and looking for new and exciting recipes to try, but I feel it helps me stay op and realize that I am not the only one going through this journey.
I finally realized how much I needed to committ and take the bull by the horns sorta speak when I saw a picture of myself at my companies x mas party. I thought I was looking ohhhh so cute. I got the picture and bam what a eye opener and as they say pictures never lie. I felt anger, regret, sadness all at the same time when I saw that picture and I realized what I had to do. I decided at that very moment that I had to join WW and do this and do it the right way this time and no half hearted attemps.
I sat down and analyzed why I was the way I was and why I had failed so many times before and I came to the conculsion that you have to be mentally ready to lose weight before you will acutally make that long term commitment and that losing weight is not a overnight (bam and your skinny) process. That process could take months or even years to get to where you feel most comfortable in your skin.
I went through a though time at the end of jan even though I had such a good loss and when I posted here all of my BCB rallied behind me and said essentially that I needed to get it togather. I APPERCIATED that so much bcause I can not waste time crying over spilled milk as they say.
I patted myself on the back and kept on moving and decided to make some mini goals for myself and I am looking forward to meeting those goals full steam ahead. :exercise2 .
I find myself thriving off of the information that is here and looking forward to see how everyone here is doing and congratulating you all on being such good inspirations and losers. If I have a question I post it and someone is bound to answer it because you care so much.
I may not know everyones name nor where everyone is from But I just wanted to let you all know what it is that you all do for me on a DAILY BASIS and sometimes I don't have the words to express my gratitude.
THANK YOU ALL OF MY BOOTCAMP BUDDIES !!!!! :D
