The month of August was an exceptional month for my weight loss journey. I successfully navigated the summer vacation by allowing myself a break away from the Weight Watchers life style change for two weeks. I successfully lost the 2 pounds I gained from that breach, lose another 2 pounds and managed to endure the worst "Plateau" since I began this process. I had basically been at a 30 pound weight loss for the entire summer. August, something clicked. Maybe it was the cooler mornings or the back to routine but I was able to shed a whopping 4 pounds this month! Takes a bow. I know there are diets out there that will make you shed 10 pounds in a month or 30 pounds in 60 days...eat baby food, don't eat carbs, shovel in the cabbage but don't touch a grain of sugar. I have never ever considered any diet that restricted my carb or sugar intake to 0. Carbs and sugar are what make my world go 'round. That means though that I have to be more patient with a slower weight loss and be very ok with that. As long as it is coming off i'll be ok with however long it takes.
Telling myself "You can't do it" has gotten me nowhere when it comes to self image. This year I turned 39 and decided to tell myself "You can at least TRY". This is a chronicle of my attempt at getting into shape, sticking to my goals and all the trials and triumphs that come along with it.
