That's What I'm Talking About

I haven't been to a WW meeting in a few weeks. It just hasn't been something I've needed to keep on track this time. I do need to weigh in 10 times before my vouchers expire at the end of February, so I need to go once in awhile so that work will reimburse me:). I really wanted to go today and had time before my annual doctor's appointment. I really wanted to start thinking about Thanksgiving and how I was going to plan for the big meal:). I had a five pound loss since my last meeting weeks ago. I lost my first five percent:)! Something has clicked this time. It feels different. I feel in control. I feel great. It hasn't been as fast as last time, but I have grown so much more! This is not only about Weight Watchers. This is about planning, counting, saying no when it's not planned, exercising, resting when I'm tired, and the biggest change this time has been closing the kitchen after dinner. I could eat after dinner IF I had points left, BUT I not in control when I eat at night and now I've discovered how much better I sleep! I love sleeping. I even dropped all my sleep aides:). I am thankful that I was able to dig deep at the end of September. It gets easier everyday:). Being healthy makes me a better mom, wife, daughter and friend.
