Forgive me, Oh Scale, for I have sinned against you

This morning it's time to "face the music" at Weight Watchers.

I've gotten off track these last two weeks and I KNOW I've put on weight. How much? I have no idea. But I will find out in less than an hour.

I'm a bit ashamed of myself. I was doing so good, feeling so good, looking so good. Why did I get off track? Why did I allow myself to lose control? WHY DID I GIVE INTO THE ALMIGHTY CURLY FRIES?

I need a spanking.

I'm not going to let this minor bump in the road stop me from getting to my goal. I acknowledge that I screwed the HELL UP and I am moving on. Starting now.

I just hope I didn't gain more than 5 pounds because anything more than that has the potential to ruin me. Ok. Maybe I'm not ready to move on just yet. I have to see what the "damage is" on the scale before I can get all positive and shit.

HEY YOU! I've seen the pictures. You look great! So...don't let whatever results you get today deter you in any way, shape, or form. Don't do it! You are doing tremendously!

I'll spank you anytime, but only as a reward for kicking such copious amounts of ass. Which you do, by the way.

Don't invest too much in the numbers. It's all about how the clothes fit. And don't let anything sabotage your progress. Every day is a new day. A fresh start.

Accept and move on whatever it is..drink lots of H2O..your body will forgive you ... Still want to race to the 160's ? I ain't there yet ..so close..but so far...

I feel you sistah! I am following WW right now (though I can't afford the stinkin meetings) and I KNOW how a setback can affect ones control. Hang in there! Good luck!! You look beautiful!!

So you had a rough week or two. Pretty much everyone goes through that, I think! You are NOT ALONE, honey, trust me on this. Don't beat yourself up about it, just move forward and start counting your points again! You can do it!

"I'm not going to let this minor bump in the road stop me from getting to my goal. I acknowledge that I screwed the HELL UP and I am moving on. Starting now."

This right here is what's going to get you through. No matter what that scale says. Everyone has a lapse now and then. And this right here is the difference between the thin and the not so thin people. The thin ones get right back on the wagon when it's time, and that's how they maintain.

You are doing great. A couple of weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things. You will be fine.

Do y'all know how much I appreciate you? God. I really do.

I gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks, which, I'm not happy about (but I'm totally blaming my period because I just started my period! ha!) but I'm not going to be down about it. I'm going to kick ass and drop those 3 and A FEW MORE.

Thanks for being so dang supportive and encouraging. XOXO

"All supportive and shit" - I think you should start a support group or a movement or a clothing line (sloganwise, not supportive garmentswise) with that as the name. You crack me up. :)

You have four beautiful reasons not to let any of this shit get you down.

you can do it!

be not sad, miss y, feel better knowing that i gave in to the BK cheeseburger plain and a LARGE onion rings, and chocolate milk at 10 am! and now i'm going to give in to the apple pie.

PMS IS a bitch.

things happen. you've made great strides in your weight loss. focus on the positives.

Posted by: girlplease at March 20, 2006 06:15 PM

It's probably mostly water weight any way. Do you know how much salt is on those curly fries??

Posted by: clickmom at March 20, 2006 06:49 PM

Y, just put it behind you. you had a sick kid at home and just a bad time. happens to the best of us :) happened to me for about six months during which i put the 15 pounds i had previously lost back on my ass... so what's three pounds anyway?

just get back on track. cause you know you're my weight-loss-hero and you can't give up and stop because that would destroy my whole view of the world.

*keeses*

I wasn't going to my ww meeting tomorrow night (that i've ditched for the last couple weeks) out of fear that I've gained lots of weight but you've inspired me to get over myself and quit ditching my meetings! thanks.

I love your blog page! I am starting one of my own and I stumbled on yours while trying to figure out. I just started at Weight Watchers and am also nursing. I know that totally screws up the number of points that you are allowed and you never know just how much your child is really getting, so don't be so hard on yourself. Curley fries happen!

Posted by: Jen Franklin at March 22, 2006 07:10 AM

3 pounds is no biggie! You have done great so far and I'm sure you'll reach your goal soon. BTW, don'tcha think it's about time you got rid of the "overweight woman" in your profile and put back the "hot latina"? or maybe "incredible shrinking woman"?

Posted by: ishouldbeworking at March 22, 2006 01:37 PM

I've come to the realization that it's gonna be "slow and steady wins the race" in my pursuit of being healthier and leaner. Right now I have a body that is in shape, it's round. But this is not the shape it will be forever! I too am doing WW. Every time I go I think to myself, at least I am not having three ways with Ben and Jerry every week like I used to!

Don't beat yourself up, just pick yourself up and keep on keepin' on!

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
