Weighing In – Losing 70 Pounds
The First Weigh in “Black Monday”
With that in mind I joined Weight Watchers. I call that first weigh in day “Black Monday”. I wanted to cry. I was sure the scale was wrong. I wanted to run from the building screaming and crying. But I told myself, I would stick with this and that nothing would get better unless I really tried.
If your desire is to lose weight the idea of a scale may petrify you. I know it did me. This is the first step. In order to conquer a fear you must face it. It may be difficult but the truth is it’s probably bugging you already. So go ahead and face it. This was my first step to conquering my weight problem. I had to face that I weighed more than I have ever in my entire life. I weighed more on what I call “Black Monday” than I weighed when I was nine months pregnant.
Face it and then you can conquer it !!!
An Overview of the first few weeks
The first two months were absolutely awful in terms of making healthy eating changes. First of all I didn’t like most of the “healthy food choices”. Although there are plenty of healthy foods to pick from I just didn’t want to eat them. I wasn’t interested in fruits/vegetables/whole grains and correct portion sizes. What did I want? I really wanted a snicker’s bar, or nacho cheese Doritos with chip dip. Lots of chip dip.
I don’t share this part of my journey to discourage you. I share it to be honest and say whatever your fears or particular challenges are they can be faced and changed. For me I loved junk food and sweets – your issues may be quite different but they can be overcome. What are your issues? Snacking? Sweets? Combo meals? Portion sizes? Too much eating out? Not sure just yet? Try and identify your challenges. Pray about them too.
For me cokes, sweets, and junk food were the problem. For my entire life I just never ate healthy foods on a regular basis. I didn’t like vegetables. I didn’t eat much fruit. I mostly ate fast food, sugar laden snacks like cookies,
