I weighed in this morning at 217. I gained another 2 lbs. So far I have gained 3.6 lbs since being on this new WW plan. I am frustrated, but I also understand that this past week just wasn’t the best for me. I struggled and struggled and felt like I was barely keeping my head above the water. But I did not stop struggling. And as long as I’m still trying, I think that’s all that matters. We can’t win ‘em all!
But it does have me VERY worried. My hubby had to comfort me as I was in tears last night. I am SO SO scared of gaining my weight back. I have come so far, but we all know how easy it is to gain weight. We’ve all been there. Anyone who struggles with eating and weight issues knows how easy it is. One careless bite can lead to 1,000 and before you know it, you’re back where you began- or WORSE off than when you began. And I am terrified of that happening. It just made me realize that maybe I am more vulnerable than I thought. I thought I had this down. I thought I was really doing it. And I am. But I don’t think I’m completely cured. And that terrifies me. It has made me understand that this struggle is never going to end. I will always have to fight. And I do not want to give up that fight!
So that’s where I stand now.
I decided not to take pictures of my food today. That was before I read your comments and was encouraged by them. 
I am thinking that the means of which we reach the destination does not matter, but as long as the vehicle in which I choose to travel gets me closer to health, that’s all that matters. While some people need a Cadillac to get where they’re going, some need a bike, or a rusted up Ford pick up truck or a public bus, and some just need their own two feet. No matter the popularity of the program or the speed of success, it’s all about finding the motivation to get in, the inspiration to start it up and and determination to continue along our paths. Just make sure you smile and wave when you pass me by. I’ll meet you there, even if it’s long after you’ve already arrived!
TO HEALTH!
