Week 14 - Weight Watchers

Well my first weight watchers session is now over, however the representative is coming in over the Christmas Holidays to still do weigh-ins for those of us who can make it.

This week my weigh-in was: -2.6 lbs.
That's giving me a total of -25.6 lbs!

I can't believe I lost -2.6 lbs over the Christmas week!
I knew I was watching what I was eating.
I didn't over do things - and still enjoyed food, alots of it!

I had "Tortière" (Meat Pie); Ham; Turkey; potatoes; gravy; sweet potatoes; salads; cheese (lots of it); dips; apple pie; ... and was still able to keep my new lifestyle portions under control!
Yay for me!

I am feeling it and seeing it - the difference is wonderful. I feel better and more comfortable.
I'm not saying that I wasn't happy with the way I was - cause I've always accepted myself the way I am - I am what I am because I choose to be this way. That's my life choice.

However I had gain quite a few pounds these last few years and could feel them.
My energy levels were somewhat minor and my clothes were also telling me the same.
I love food and love life.... so now I'm just choosing the right foods for life.
I want to be healthy and stay healthy - that's my choice, cause it's my life.

My family is adapting well to some of the changes - no one is really complaining about some of the changes in purchases (foods). And since I love food - if there's something that's healthier however doesn't taste better doesn't mean that I will continue to make everyone eat it. I do know that some there are some "higher calorie" choices out there that are successful in sales just cause they do taste better and ... for some of these items I will continue purchasing them, however realizing that this simply means I will have to consume them in moderation.

I love my family and want to be part of their lives for as long as I can. I believe that making this lifestyle change this early in my life is for the best. I have chosen health - its not always easy and I know that this will be a continueous inner-battle with myself, but knowing that the outcome is my life - this is a battle I am willing to keep fighting for.

Happy Holidays.
