I Confess

July 18, 2008 by Kath

I’ve been a bad girl for the past little while.

That is, I haven’t been entirely honest with you.

I have, in fact, been hiding a dark, nasty little secret. But now it’s time to come clean. I’m nervous though, and a little bit ashamed, so be kind, okay? Okay. I can do this. Are you ready? Can I tell you the truth? Ummmm….okay…here goes:

I have GAINED. BACK. TWENTY. POUNDS.

Twenty-three and change, to be precise. Yup, a few months of slacking and then a few more months of utter hedonism, and even my size 12s (that I bought when the size 10s got too snug for comfort) were too tight.

REALITY CHECK. Time to go back to Weight Watchers.

So, a week and a half ago, I rejoined. My leader extraordinaire remembered me and welcomed me back warmly, and I weighed in at 188.6. ONE-EIGHTY-EIGHT! In fact, at my lightest, about 1.5 years ago, I weighed a measly 158. But I could never maintain that and stayed pretty steady at 165 for a while. I should have made that my WW goal and earned lifetime membership at 165. But I didn’t. I was vain, and I thought I could hit the elusive 155. My WW leader told me to set my goal at 165. She told me it was unrealistic to expect to weigh what I weighed at 21 (actually, I weighed more at 21, but that’s not the point). And she was right. And I have paid the price.

So the 165 blossomed to 175, where I remained fairly contentedly for a few months. I shouldn’t have been content, but I was.

But this…this is different. This the breaking point. This is where I say enough is enough.

So I know you want to know I did in my first week back at Weight Watchers. Well, I’ll let my membership book tell the tale:

Ww002_3


 

Yes, you read that right…it’s a record-breaking six pounds! Now, before you go all crazy about it, let me tell you that this is NOT. TYPICAL. Nor do I expect to maintain it. But am I happy? Will I take it? Darn tootin’ I will. Let’s see how I do in week 2. I’m hoping for at least one pound.

I’ll let you know next Thursday!

    Congrats!! I, too, have just rejoined WW for the 2nd time. After having had my first child, I gained back all 40lbs ( weight loss total was 50lbs) and then a full year of not tracking a thing, and here I am again. WHAT A GREAT FEELING! I am down 3.8 in 2 weeks. I will be checking back often to see your progress!

    That is a fantastic first week Kath. I always find it harder the second time around although I think I am on my 10th so very best of luck to you. I am on holidays for the summer with no WW around but I am going to do a 9 day Isagenix cleanse starting tomorrow and then get back on the WW band wagon with you! CONGRATULATIONS!

    Congrats on the 6 pounds and on getting back on the wagon. You know you can do it because, well, you already have!
