Back on the wagon

Ok so it’s been awhile. I like many try to make a “life style change”, and then for whatever the reason,it dosen’t last. So I’m back. Maybe people will read this, maybe not. But I still plan to start up again and keep myself held accountable for my own life.

I can blame my weight gain on, stress, illness, lack of funds and I could go on. The fact remains, it doesn’t really matter. Do I want to be healthy? Do I want to have the weight problems my family seems to have? Or do I want to break the cycle and really try to be healthy?

I’m choosing to break that cycle. So today I weighed in, and I started counting points. I was not surprised to see that I only have a few points remaining at this time. I still have to make dinner and get through the night. But today was good to see how much I’m really eating again.

Weight Watchers gives you points. I’m sure you all have heard that. The goal is to eat within those points anything you might want. Now of course it’s best to eat healthy, but you don’t have to deny yourself some treats.

My vice is still the same, its the dreaded pop and how hard it has been to break thaat addiction. I also love me my dill chips and other snack foods. I did weigh out my chip intake, and over extended my pop intake. I now have a glass of water nearby, which is flavorless, but I’m trying to add fruit to it, as fruit is free within moderation of course. I have also read that water is better at room temprature, to convincing the brain you are full.

I’m also trying to get back to my green drink, and use any means possible to not feel so down about my past choices. So I’m also going to go as far as saying…..I am worth taking care of myself. I am a good person and with strength of the good Lord behind me, I will get healthy. All I ask is that you support me with words of encouragement and hope.

Until I blog again….
