So I really seem to be struggling right now with the whole dieting thing. I have hit a road block, and I am actually afraid to step on the scale. I have been making some horrible food choices which actually cost me a lot of points. Cheetos, Ice Cream, and ANYTHING chocolate. I WANT IT ALL!!!! I do know that eating those things causes you to lose it over time.
I made a choice the other day when I was shopping to not buy any of that crap, just to have Shane ask me the next day why there wasn't anything to snack or nibble on that was sweet. I told him, that if it was in the house, I was tempted by it, so therefore it wasn't in the house. So he made brownies, and I did eat.
I love Weight Watchers and their program it really does work. I love that I can be flexible with my points, but when I am using them EVERYDAY, and don't even get me started on the weekly 35 points that I can dip into. I have dipped in and by Sunday most of those, if not all of my points are gone, but that doesn't stop me from indulging during the week.
I really think that I have set my goals to high and that I am struggling with that for not meeting my goals when I wanted to. At the last meeting I attended, I had lost 17.4 lbs. Awesome for someone with PCOS and who struggles to loose weight. With that weight loss that puts me at 3.6 lbs shy away from getting my 10% of my goal weight. I was hoping to have had this by April 1st, but as you can see it is now May, and I have yet to receive it. I won't give up, and I will get it if it takes a little longer than I wanted to.
I guess I could be a little stressed or even depressed. The weather sure isn't helping in that department either. This up and down cycle has got to stop. I am in some serious need of attacking my flower beds, and letting the OCD gardner surface. She is crying to be let out. She has been hibernating for far to long. She did surface a few weeks ago, and WOW was she delighted to be out. With the lovely Utah weather we have been having, + working two Saturdays back to back doesn't help either.
The one thing that I am excited about is that Shane and I are taking a late anniversary trip to California in late June. I am so SUPER EXCITED!!!!! It's going to be a nice relaxing trip, with a whole lot of fun thrown in. The count down has totally begun, and I can't wait.
Now back to the help. The pictures of my motivation aren't working like I had hoped they would. And as vain as I am, I would seriously like to be thinner than I am right now. I am still working out, but not as often as what I would like to. I have started training for a 5k, and I am enjoying it. I have also started back on the 30 day shred. This workout does in fact kick my butt, but I am a little disappointed that I am not hurting today. I guess it's time to push harder, but without any injuries.
If you have any pointers I would love to hear about them. How do you deal with your struggles?

Happy Mother's Day!! You hot mama!!
I know exactly what you are talking about. I struggle too. I just need to get really motivated and get serious again because it is possible but I have to make it happed. Thoroughly agree, if it is in the house, there is temptation. Maybe we can work on this together and come up with a plan. Love you,
