Amy's journal(comments welcome)

I just discovered this and felt it was meant for me.
I am 29 years old with 4 kids.I have struggled w/ gaining and losing weight for 10 years. I once lost 75 lbs only to gain back 60.I worked very hard to lose 40 lbs this last year on Weight Watchers and met my goal 2 weeks ago. This morning I weighed and I have gained back 6 lbs.I am determined not to do this to myself.As of RIGHT NOW I am going to do better.Gotta go-baby crying.

WELCOME to the WISH journals!!

Having 4 kids sure does put losing weight on the back burner at times. (I have 4 also). Anyway, journaling is a great way to keep on track and become aware of your habits, good and bad. The people on this board are GREAT and lend a lot of support!

Good luck on your journey and I will check back to see how you are doing.

I made my first good choice of the day.String chees instead of the little debbie caka I wanted.I am pretty stressed out.Sick baby and we are supposed to leave for WDW in5 days. I am going to try exercise for stress relief.Than my first goal will be met!

When I click on a smilie I get the word. What am I doing wrong?

 

[dismom9761]

My question has been answered.

Hang in there. Sick babies are no fun, but choosing to relieve the stress by exercising is a great start! It's all the little things that truly make a difference. Hope the baby feels better soon.

I struggled w/ my eating today.I am NOT wanting to go to my WW meeting on Sun. I have lost all my willpower.
B-2 pieces toast
L- apple danish and blueberry muffin top
Snack-LF granola bar
D-cheesesticks,cheese ravioli
dessert-candy
It was my 10th anniversary.We went out (no kids) for the first time in about 6 mths.Very nice.Tomorrow I must do better.
Rachel(my baby) was feeling slightly better today.I really hope she is back to herself by the time we leave on Mon.

Hang in there! Remember we all have our bad days, but the important thing is that you still keep trying and move forward. Glad to hear the baby is doing better.

I did go to my meeting today. I lost .4 lbs. Of course my pants are too tight,so i don't really understand.I'll take iit though.I will get plenty of exercise tomorrow,I have to clean house/run errands/pack etc.The baby(Rachel)seems to have felt better today.The older 3 are so axcited about the trip all they can do is ask a million questions.
One simple health goal tomorrow-2 fruits and 1 vegetable.Obtainable.
Actually tomorrow is today- Goodnight.

The pants may be tight, but take what you can get. Also, think of all the walking you will be doing at WDW!

Glad to hear the baby is feeling better and have a wonderful trip!
