Grippy Day

Went to the grocery yesterday.... Finding it really hard to still make good choices. Of corse I'm not filled yet so these first 6 weeks are so hard. I keep hearing everyone say... It's a bonus if you lose but *#@*@))@, I just spend $17,500 on this and I want my new life to begin as soon as possible. I'm not getting any younger.

 

In the past I would spend about 6 - 12 weeks on a diet before I'd give up. Usuallly in that time I might lose 3 pounds. I'd sit and watch at Weight Watchers as others would lose 2 or 3 a week. But I'd also see a lot of people like me that would lose .2 or even gain after a week on plan.

 

I'd hear other optimistic people say "Don't give up you are at least going down" and I'd say "It's not worth that much work and it being that hard to only lose 3 pounds".

 

When people think that overweight people are lazy it kills me but I've never seen my skinny friends work so hard for a goal and they don't have a clue what it's like to never see it.

 

I'm doing weight watchers now so I can at least maintain these first 6 weeks. Today is my 5th weight in.
