Last Thursday was my 3 week weigh-in at Weight Watchers. It had been 2 weeks since my last weigh-in because last week I couldn't make the meeting as one of my kids had a ski race and I have to be mom first! I was nervous and kind of unsure of what the scale would say...
This week's loss: -5.8
Total Loss to Date: -14.4
I have to admit, I was somewhat disappointed in that number since it was for 2 weeks. When I put it in perspective, Weight Watchers wants you to have a loss of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week to do it at a healthy rate. So this was still higher than that. I got another 5 pound loss sticker. Others said I did great. So why was I feeling this way?
Maybe it was the realization that this isn't going to be a quick fix? Maybe it was the fact that when I was younger I could take off weight quickly and I'm not so young anymore? Maybe I am chocolate deprived?
I have no idea but I did manage to snap out of it quickly so all is good. After our meeting, I went out to dinner with the two girls I go to Weight Watchers with. They have been doing this after each meeting since they started together last April and I'm glad I can be included too because it's great to be able to talk with them. We can share foods we have found that are low in points (WW is based on a points system), talk about how we all got to this place (our stories are amazingly similar!) and give each other support. It's interesting to hear what everyone has to say in the actual WW meeting but I almost find I get more out of this weekly chat with the girls. I find that I am looking forward to Thursday nights instead of dreading them!
