As a part of my New Year's Resolutions, I've been trying to lose some weight (along with every other person on the planet). What's more, I'm trying to lead a healthier lifestyle - complete with a better diet and more exercise. After two months of (generally) continuous exercise and better eating, I've managed to lose 12 pounds.
I had a few set backs this past month - one major one being Spring Break. Instead of going to Cancun like everyone else, I decided to spend my break at home with my family. However, during the day, I was the only one home - meaning I got bored quite easily, which is where food came into the picture. Just like when I first started gaining weight when I was in High School, I ate bad food whenever I had nothing better to do. Thankfully, I was semi-able to restrain myself, and I ended up maintaining my weight throughout the week. Yet, the stress of college and life is always a hindrance for me, so I ended up not losing much weight this past month - only 3 pounds.
During these past two months, I've been using Weight Watchers, as a simple method of keeping track of how much I eat throughout the day. I went quite in depth in last month's recap, so you can look there for more information on the program itself. I have found the process to work well for me when I continue to use it. On days when I forget to track my food, I tend to eat more and eat less healthy. Therefore, I do find the program to be working for me - but I find that I need to make sure to use the program in order to see results!
Nonetheless, I refuse to look at a loss of 3 pounds as a failure - I still lost weight! No matter how big or small, weight loss is still weight loss and I'm still proud of how far I've come. Although I still want to lose more weight, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I feel like I'm learning more about what I want from this journey and why I want it along the way.
Are you on a weight loss journey? How is it going for you?
