There comes a moment when you actually realize that you are much LARGER than you had first thought. It could come when you bend over to tie your shoes, your breathing is laboured when you climb the stairs OR maybe just maybe you go out to buy some new clothes (because you are going back to work because you love money) and find out that you have to go up TWO sizes before you are able to properly fit into that shirt; so the rolls of flab don't show. And it doesn't look like a big girl in a tiny shirt cartoon.
Seriously, I had NO IDEA how big I have gotten.
Until last night, I "thought" I was doing okay. That it wasn't THAT bad. That I might have some wiggle room. APPARENTLY, it's NOT that way at all. It's official... I'm a big puggly wuggy. And for those of you who are going to say that it's not "THAT BAD" seriously, it is. Although I don't really think any of you will say that. :)
I'm moving my WW plan from def con 1 to def con 8. Or from 8 to 1... I can't remember how that goes but you guys get what I'm saying LOL
Today I am going to measure myself which I don't normally do when I am doing WW. I like to feel myself getting smaller, but I this time I am going measure and keep track. I am going to micromanage my WW plan like a sick child who needs their medication every 4 hours and who WON'T get better unless I am there to help them.
Today I am kicking it up a bunch of notches.

That moment came for me when we got our family picture taken and I realized my face was huge.
You know how you said you were gonna take it like a sick child who needs their meds every 4 hours- that is smart to take care of ourselves like that, because if we dont lose weight we will be sick. It is smart to work hard to prevent diabetes, heart attac, stoke, etc instead of working hard to get better after they happen. Thanks for the insight! Tammy

I LOVE the reference to def con 1 (or 8)! Last time I started WW I thought that I could benefit by just "sort of" following the plan. I wouldn't count the bites or tastes. If I skipped a day when writing down my foods I figured that I was just sure that I had done fine for the day. Here I am today even heavier than I was and now I am relentless in my pursuit to stay faithfully on plan. I drive my family crazy with the points calculator but my weight was driving me crazy! Congratulations on your determination!

Hey CBK -- Glad to see some activity from you. Your journals are fascinating to read but sometimes tragic. I see a lot of myself in you--detecting more than a trace of the wild artist. But you can be disciplined about your art and it's time for some discipline. You need to start. Ahem. Now. Gently, the incessant talking and planning about getting started gets you...nowhere. Action is the catalyst. Do something everyday toward your goal. And stop smoking. It's totally out of style. The only people these days that you see sitting around smoking are not people you want to be like. They are people who have given up. Ironically, smokers are quitters. You're so descriptive I can actually smell smoke on your posts and it makes me cringe. Love yourself.

We are all here for the same reason. I recently saw a woman on a segment of the TODAY show, who had lost 212 lbs. Through WW, she was truly amazing and inspirational. She was on a segment called the "Joy Fit Club" The JFC is all people who have lost over 100lbs with No surgery. There are some truly amazing stories there. Check it out!
Be kind to yourself and take one small step at a time.
