The much anticipated weigh in day has arrived. I’ve tried my best to count the points, had a few bad days. Combine that with the fact that I must weigh in and your stomachs in knots. Will I gain, lose or stay the same? Why is it important to me to loose this weight? Is the number on the scale really that important?
I have been told it’s more important how your clothes fit, rather than what the scale reads. But we all look to the number. How can a number have so much power over me or should I say us? I’m thinking the number is the visual piece we need. After all you can’t feel on ounce or a pound, and the clothes don’t change until many numbers fall. So how do you pick that magic number?
For me starting this journey my doctor advised me what my healthy weight should be. It was not set by Weight Watchers, or the Biggest Loser fans. Just as a side note, Weight Watchers does advise you to meet with your doctor. My point being my number is based on my bodies needs. That’s one reason weight is different for everyone.
So why do I still dread this day? It didn’t take me one day to put on the weight, so it won’t take one day to take off the weight either. So here we go……
The number reads up .07 oz. I’m disappointed, but expected it I guess. I knew this last week had been tough. I had a few bad eating days, as well as not knowing how to count some points. I didn’t have all the information I needed to calculate them. I must also face that I made wrong choices. Therefore all I can do know is start again and wait till next week.
Before I know it, the week will be over and I hope for better results. Until that time, I can only try my best and move forward. I must admit, I will pray and ask God for help. I know I can’t do it alone so I ask you all to guide me and pray for me. Thank you for the continued support.
