You know you are a fatty when all it takes for you to fall off the WW wagon is your hubby whispering “Cold Stone” in your ear.*But* the important thing is that I’m back, right? *And* I happened to get some kind of 24 hour bug last week that I can most likely credit for the fact that I somehow still lost some weight during my lazy exodus while still eating chocolate like it was going extinct.

The best part? My husband got jealous of some good friends of ours this weekend, after seeing their success from the last few months of their counting points. He came home and finally agreed to seriously count points and follow the program with me. Exactly the support I need! Their wedding is in October, and we are in the wedding party and don’t particularly want to be the ones ruining their pictures.

He also agreed to let me sign up online for the WW tools and recipes, and he said he will buy me the cheap treadmill I’ve been eying at Walmart next week if I will really use it.

I’m actually motivated, woot!

My husband’s mom and sister came to visit midway through week 3, and I cheated a bit and got sidetracked and lazy about counting points. When I weighed in, the results were exactly the same as the week before.

This morning I’m just wondering if my scale is broken. This last week (Week 4) I haven’t been counting my points, in fact I was self sabotaging because I was feeling guilty about certain parenting issues and I was so stressed out that I just decided I didn’t care. We’re talking fudge brownies, peanut butter M&M’s, chinese food, Wendy’s and In-N-Out. Yet I get on the scale cringing, and somehow even after all that crap…I still managed to lose .6 of a lb.

My husband gave me some time yesterday to get away from everything, so I went to the mall and picked up some clothes. I know you aren’t supposed to run out and do that while in the process of losing weight, but it was an opportunity for me to examine how I was really feeling about myself. I’m glad I did…today I feel ready to face the day. It’s time to start enjoying life instead of hiding in the house wishing for acceptance from people that I don’t even know.

I’m actually really excited about the fact that I escaped putting back on weight that I had worked hard to lose, and it is giving me the fuel to pick up my pieces and glue them back together. Today I will be looking for some new recipes, and I will post some links if I run into something awesome.

Oh, and here are the stats:

Starting Weight: 226.4 lbs
Weight Last Week: 221.2 lbs
Weight This Week: 220.6 lbs
Weight Change: -0.6 lbs
Total Progress: -5.8 lbs

Today, after looking at horrid pictures of myself on FB…I decided I’m done being fat now. I bought a bathroom scale and a food scale, and I am ready to get started with counting points tomorrow! My first mini weight loss goal is to get 23 lbs. off. I have to do this, and I can do this.
