This is often the day of reckoning for me. Tomorrow I will drag myself out of bed at about 6:45am and try to make myself look presentable and head to Weight Watchers to weigh in. I am often thinking about my week, did I eat too much, did I exercise enough, what could I have done, or should I have done differently (except by this time, it is too late). I have these thoughts the night before weigh in. I also try and think what will make me happy. I know that earlier in my weight loss I was happy with ANY loss...it could be anywhere from .2 to 1.8 and I would be equally as excited. I know that there was also a time when I was relieved that I had maintained my weight, because that meant I could keep it off. Now, I think my expectations are higher...although they shouldn't be. I want to see a big weight loss...and I am not sure I have what it takes to do it. I am very inspired by the BIGGEST LOSER. I have had friends ask me if I watch it...I used to tell them that it was unrealistic weight loss...people are exercising and eating in a void...no real life situations and losing more than a pound a week isn't healthy. Now, I have changed my view a little. I still think it is unrealistic...but I think it does inspire people. I think about whether or not I should do that last workout on Friday night before my Saturday weigh in...but usually by Friday I am ready to call it a week.
Tonight...it is like any other night. I eat pot stickers because they are filling, low point and I fill up on mushrooms and broccoli. I will probably have some hot chocolate tonight...nothing else. Today I walked to work...my husband and the dog came to get me...we walked home. We typically watch some TV or a movie...and then try to hit bed by 10pm to read. But, I am still thinking about my week...what did I do to stand between me and my goal?

Good Luck for your weigh-in :). As a Life-Time member, I know what it feels like.I used to have butterflies in my stomach on my weigh-in days. You are doing very well.In the grand scheme of things, we often over look the small losses. These small losses are stepping stones to success.One that leads us to our ultimate goal weight. As the saying goes, 'slow and steady wins the race'. All the best:)
Thank you, I need encouragement like this all of the time!!
