Surprise!

Today was Weight Watchers weigh in day. I know I haven't written about it in a few weeks but this week is definitely worth writing about!

Lately, my life has been a little more stressful than usual. Not complaining just stating the facts.

Let's just say when it rains it pours!

I, when extremely stressed, eat. I eat, and eat and I do so without any care about the aftermath!

My name is Michelle and I am an emotional eater! This has always been one of my issues. I have always had a difficult time managing it.

So, I have been very off track with my Weight Watchers for a few weeks. I have been either maintaining or gaining a few ounces here or a pound there. I honestly even thought about, giving up taking a little time off from the program.  You know until things in my life get straightened out. I can lose weight better if the rest of my life is stress free.  Right????

So when I woke this morning, I actually had no plans to go to my meeting. I didn't want to face the music or the scale. I knew that I had been stress eating and didn't want to deal with it.

So on the way, driving my boys to school, I was giving my eldest son a lecture motherly advice on going for what he wants, getting healthy and eating right for a better life etc, etc.......

Then I realized that I needed to take my own advice! I need to go for my goals and I need to get healthy!

So I dug deep, really deep, and I drove right to the Weight Watchers meeting!!!!!!

I stepped on that scale with my head hung and heard," Wow! Great Job this week!"

Huh? Me? Then I looked at the weight that the leader had written down.

I lost 4 pounds this week!!!!!!! Imagine if I actually tried!!!!!!! I have my motivation back. I guess I am better at making the right food choices than I thought!!!!

Yay me! Never give up and don't ever lose faith in yourself! You may surprise yourself!

Love Much, Live Well,

Michelle xoxo
