Plain and simple…Weight Watcher’s works. It gives me all of the flexibility that I need and I can stay on target. Although I really do enjoy Keto, I was having a hard time eating all of the required fat intake and it was causing an upset tummy. I did not experience that before, but my weight and health have changed since then.
Speaking of health, I have a confession…I had my first honestly scary doctor’s appointment at the beginning of this year. I have very minor high blood pressure that was causing severe dizzy spells and headaches. I then started a blood pressure medicine that made me sleep all of the time. I don’t want to live my life this way. And then my last doctor’s appointment in early March, I got on the scale and reached the highest weight I have ever been. The doctor’s scale said 305. I said impossible, my home scale has never been above 298. Who was I kidding…that somehow it wasn’t real if my scale never went over 300. No, I was just adding to the long list of excuses. The very next morning I got on my own scale, determined to prove the doctor wrong of my 300+ weight to sadly discover that my trusty scale revealed the truth…I was over 300 pounds.
Weight is just a number, so I am not saying that you should be a slave to the scale, but I’m tired of this overweight life. My blood pressure is high, my knees ache, I have chronic plantar fasciitis, my low back hurts, and those are just the physical parts. What about all of the other parts like I want to fit into normal clothes, I don’t want to hide from pictures, I want a life that I can live. And I haven’t been living.
I made the choice to start over. I started with a quick 3 day cleanse, then keto until I decided that Weight Watchers (where I have always had the most success) is where I needed to return too. I’m down almost 13 pounds according to my scale and I am motivated.
I hope that you will continue to be patient with me on this journey because that is what this is. I need help staying motivated on the days I don’t want too. How can we do this together? Time, this will take time. As they say, the slower you lose it, the longer you can keep it off because you are changing your lifestyle and the way you think about food. I am committed to no longer being a slave to food, are you?!
