Follow Through

Well, my follow through is severely lacking. My weight loss journey has slowed down but certainly not ended. I now feel that I'm losing more inches than weight because I know my weight hasn't dropped yet i've lost a size and received many more compliments. I just wanted to give a quick update so I don't feel like such a slacker blogger. Have a great day!

Not eating enough

So I've hit a bit of a plateau and decided to take Weight Watchers up on their free trial offer. I posted on the board that I felt 32 points was too much because it'd be more calories than I eat now. I was quickly told that obviously what I'm doing is no longer working, probably because I'm not eating enough for my body to keep going. I find this hard to believe because I don't feel that I'm not eating. I even made myself start snacking. I think I need to eat more at breakfast and less at dinner. This is my plan for the next week. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Why am I so impatient?

I've started this blog as a way to express myself. I've always thought of myself as a writer, even though my follow through on most everything blows. I decided at the beginning of January 2010 that everything needed to change. I'm a college graduate who waits tables for a living, so I decided to go back to grad school. Only, all the colleges I applied to rejected me. So, I've put the career and school thing on hold for a while and decided to get myself healthy. I started my weight journey at 252 pounds. I'm now 229. I know I should be overjoyed at a 23 pound weight loss in 10 weeks but somehow I'm disappointed. I expect so much out of myself. I want to be 160 overnight with a great job or a phd, but it's not happening and somehow I need to accept it and keep working. I suppose I'm just an overachiever who is struggling with not achieving as much as I'd like. Surely, someone out there must feel the way I do. Why can't I have what I want?
