I was a perfect example of how not to follow weight watchers last week, and rightly so gained at weigh in on Wednesday. Not just a little gain, its was a whopping 4 1/2 lb gain. Why you may ask, well it was too easy to be honest. Too easy which is a huge reminder of how easily I could slip back into old habits and that I am still at the start of my journey and have a lot to learn about how to deal with the relationship between my emotions and food.
I stupidly let the disappointment of not getting my 3rd silver 7 the week before send me off track, stupid because I still lost but because it wasn't what i wanted it to be i went on a downward spiral of diet self destruction.
I took the Thursday off, a lets have a day of not caring. It was my hubby's birthday so I enjoyed birthday cake and a fantastic meal out where I ate exactly what i wanted off the menu instead of choosing wisely. Then 4 days of Easter weekend with nothing going to plan and too much chocolate temptation in reaching distance. And it didnt stop after that I spent the next couple of days doing what i know i should never do, telling myself "well you have blown it anyway so what's the point". All so wrong in so many ways but not a week I want to repeat as it wasn't worth a 4 1/2lb gain.
I shared my bad week on my facebook page and was so touched by the encouragement and support on there, one comment that stuck with me was Tracey telling me to have a little faith in myself, I dont know if she reads my blog but Thank you Tracey, A little reminder that I am worth the time and effort I put into this has helped alot in the last few days.
I am not going to spend anymore time dwelling on my terrible week because I have moved on from it and hopefully learnt from it. What I will say is it has revigorated my drive and determination to keep going and to not go backwards so always nice when something good comes out of a bad situation.
Now my next post is much more exciting ...............
