I have recently regained weight, basically due to overeating as a result of stress. My "good"weight is 145, but I like tostay within 143-148. This morning I weighed in at 157.2. This makes me feel like crap and probably look like crap. I know that what I need to do is refocusn on Weight Watchers, which works great for me. The first time I tried it was when I needed to lose baby weight. I was about 65 pounds overweight. Using Weight Watchers I lost it all in about 7 months and felt great. I kept it off for years, but then overwork overtook me and I found myself at 175. That was last fall. So I reemabarked on WW and got backdown into the happy zone of 145 +/- 3 pounds.
Then came the bad times when the economy caused job losses. I was handed a prelininary pink slip and spent a month waiting to discover if I would still have a job. Even finding out I would not be on the final layoff didn't help as I still felt the stress of what the loss of others would due to our school; I'm a teacher.
So this morning I saw the numbers and realized that my jeans were tight, always a bad sign even if the weight seems low. So I need to get back on plan with a vengeance and start to feel good again. There is nothing I can do about the layoffs, b ut I can work to iprove myself; physically, emothionally and financially.I need the positivity that only the young of mind truly feel, hence the goal of being "forever youngish".
I think recording my progress can be helpful. If I put my goals and weight and resons for eating in a permanent then perhaps I can prevent myself from letting food control me. After all, Ben and Jerry's is not actually help improve my life, but veggies and exercise will.
OK, today off to the gym and to start eating better and tomorrow full start on WW.
