So I lost 1 lb at yesterday's weigh-in and I'm happy about it!
I know most people would look at how long I've been with WW and then at how little weight I've lost in that time period and automatically say that this program isn't working for me or that I'm a failure.
But there's so much more to it than that.
I know - and being completely honest with myself here - that I cannot fault the program because I haven't given it the full chance for success. (i.e. being sporadic with my tracking, my exercise, drinking alcohol on the weekends)
Does this make me a failure at weight loss programs overall? No. I know the reasons why I haven't lost and all of them point at me. But as in all other areas of my life, I am a late bloomer. Always have been.
Went through puberty late and to this day, I like to say that I still haven't reached my full height! (which is currently at the vertically challenged height of 5'1"). I also had my first kiss late, lost my virginity late, discovered real love late and learned how to do a LOT of things late!
So my weight loss journey is not going to be like everyone else's and if my usual patterns continue, that means that success on this program is going to come a little late compared to others. As I said in a previous blog, the turtle can totally represent me!
This week, what did I do differently to experience success? I TRACKED - that's number one. Then I exercised. And I tried a WW recipe. And I drank a smoothie for breakfast each day - leaving me with more points for dinner.
These little adjustments seemed to make the difference.
So I'm going to continue doing these and hopefully, see even more success on the horizon!
