Scale says 197.5 - SO GO VOTE!

Super Duper TUESDAY is upon us. VOTE!

197.5 - up 1.5 - I suppose I have been remiss in my food journaling and seriously lacking in the portion control/nutrition. MY HAIR IS OUT OF CONTROL. I need a serious intervention if I am ever to get to 189 and collect MY REWARD. When is it going to click? What must I do to get things rolling? I cringe every time I think about going BACK to Weight Watchers. I am sure it is right for a lot of people, but the last time I was able to lose real weight (22 lbs) was, um ... like 1983. No, I am NOT kidding. I haven't found a leader who is inspiring. I just haven't felt it -- except in my wallet-- over $400 dollars last year, and our family doesn't have a lot of money.

I can blame it on the kids - b/c I have to make meals even when I am not hungry and I eat them. I can blame it on my hubby, who brings Pringles into the house and buys me a foot long sub even though I specifically asked for a 6". I can accept ALL responsibility b/c I put the food in my mouth, chewed and swallowed. I did NOT go to SPIN Sunday b/c I was too tired and grumpy (precisely the reason I should have gone). OK, so I do all of these things and where does it lead me? 197.5

I have heard from people who have lost lots of weight that they don't know why it worked. Was it hard work? Absolutely. A lot of times they search for THE MOMENT when it all clicked, but I think that is for the benefit of the asker and not something real. My aunt says she just started doing it... eating smaller portions and the scale went down. She kept doing it and has now lost 94 lbs. I don't have that much to lose. If I could hit 155 I would be more than satisfied. If I could "JUST START DOING IT" -- eating smaller, nutritious portions and exercising with real purpose, I would be satified. IF.
