So I'm not a perfect weight watcher person. Of course we all have our moments, mine are often due to lack of judgement and deciding to do something last second without planning. It all comes down to planning doesn't it? April 1st I decided to join a hashtag on Instagram that is #nocheatmealapril. To me a cheat meal means going crazy not counting a single point and just going complete crazy on food. I'm talking like Cinnabon for breakfast, Pizza for lunch, Burgers from Zombie burger for dinner, and some ice cream kind of crazy. So basically I've decided for the next 3 weeks of April plus the week that is almost over I will stay on track and count every single point.
My adorable baby boys 2nd birthday is tomorrow (come back then to read his story!) and he's not a huge food eater at all. He rather drink milk 24/7, eat hotdogs or eat chips...So we've been trying to decide what his favorite food is and take him somewhere to eat for dinner. Well this morning we still hadn't picked a spot and I was getting annoyed because I need to plan my day around that meal we will eat. We finally picked a place, a hotdog place. I don't like hotdogs much in less grilled on the grill and even then ehh...So I pulled up their menu and guess what!!! They have grilled chicken, so it's a win win take our fat fat out to eat and I get to stay on track! I'm hoping for an awesome loss this week so I have no room to fuck around!!
So that brings me to...
Do y'all have any reminders around your home that keep you on track? I know I do! If I didn't have them I probably wouldn't stay on track because they scream in my face every time I walk into my kitchen!!
My 1st one is this awesome board I created for all the pounds I've lost! I want to lose at least 108 pounds but I'm shooting more for the like 120-125 range! What is better than get to see those numbers drop week by week? Just a few more pounds and I will be a third of the way done with this board and to me that is a huge motivator!! This one is a bit big for my kitchen so normally is either in my bathroom or on my night stand next to my bed. Hell if it was acceptable and I felt like covering holes in my walls when we move in a few months I'd stick that BITCH in the middle of the wall in my living room!
My 2nd one is one y'all see floating around pinterest often! Its in my kitchen on the counter where all the snack are held...You can't honestly look at them then decided to still binge eat so hey whatever works for me right?
Now lets chat about something that annoys me. First let me say I know we are our own worst, worst critic. I know this, I don't need you to tell me this! So when I get out of the shower/bath etc, I swear I stare at myself for like 20 minutes and wonder what on my body has changed. I have a lot of weight I need to get off I already know that but I've lost 31+ pounds already and I feel like I can't see it gone from ANYWHERE. God love my mother she always tells me she can see it, in my face! She's the best ever! But to me the one who looks at this body every day I feel like I don't see it coming from ANYWHERE. ANYWHERE! AT ALL. I take measurements' and let me just say I've lost an assload of inches from my body! Yes that feels amazing to see that number go down combined with the weight on the scale but I want to see my body change. I don't care if I weigh 200 pounds for the rest of my life as long as my stomach is gone. I can deal with my big ass hips and thighs but I struggle so much with this mommy belly I have. I know I've done this to myself but it drives me up the wall. Comparing pictures "before" and "now" is sort of a double edge sword to me because if I don't see a noticeable change I'm just even more annoyed! So I try to limit how much I take them otherwise I will just obsess about them!
So today I decided to compare a picture I took on 2/3 and I weighed 261.7 pounds. So 9 weeks between these two pictures and 15.7 pound difference.
Left is today & Right is 2/3.
The shirt is the exact same shirt the only difference is in the left picture I just washed and dried the shirt and the right picture I had worn to bed for a few days before this picture so it was "worn in". Things like this make me push! Not the number on the scale to see my shirts looser and know that soon I'll be able to fit into a smaller size tshirt is so exciting to me. I wish I wore jeans or had a pair that I wore before this because I know for sure no way they would fit me. The shorts in the right picture I put on a few nights ago for bed and they were so big I couldn't wear them to bed I would of woke up with no shorts on.
Progression pictures and measurments will save you on the days you don't feel like the scale is moving or you just feel icky. Do it you'll be happy you did!!
