A Positive Attitude is EVERYTHING!

Week after week I am surprised how well I am doing at losing weight this time around.  I say this time around because this is not the first time I have tried losing weight.  I have been trying for years and nothing I did seemed to work.  I'd loose like 5 pounds and then I wouldn't be able to lose anymore.  Weight Watchers has taught me not to diet but to live a healthy life style.  Eat the right size portions! 

I love feeling like I am succeeding!  I wrote a couple weeks ago about trying on a size nine pair of pants at the mall.  I didn't buy them because I could get them on and button them but they were snug.  I am happy to announce that I went and bought those pants and they now fit perfect!!  It's an awesome feeling when you can walk into a store and just grab a size you think might fit and then it does!  I used to hate shopping for clothes.  I hated grabbing things to try on and them not fitting.  I don't feel that way anymore!  

I went to Weight Watchers last week (2/12/13) and weighed in.  I lost 2.2 pounds!  I have to confess that I went in their thinking I was not going to lose ANYTHING!  My husband and I are house shopping right now and I had spent 3 days down in Kentucky and ate out for every meal.  I watched what I ate and made sure not to over stuff myself but I was still concerned.  Well I proved to myself that even when I am eating out I can still lose weight!  This is also a great feeling.  I feel like I am finally understanding what I need to do for myself.

This week (2/19/13) Weight Watchers got canceled due to really bad weather.  It's been snowing like crazy.  My scale is normally off compared to the Weight Watchers scale so I'm going to guess I lost about 1 pound this week.  

As I stated earlier we have been house hunting so that is why I was a little behind on my posts for my weight journey!  Want to see a picture of the house we are hoping to purchase?  

As exciting as it is to be looking to purchase our first home it's also stressful.  I have been trying hard not to allow the stress to get to me!  I am going to just be excited and not focus on the stress part.  LOL this is easier said than done.

With the crazy snow we have been getting I have not felt very motivated.  I seem to do so much better at exercising when the weather is nice out.  So this week I am going to try to find ways to get myself motivated every day!  

I hope that all of you who have started your own weight journeys are succeeding!  I love reading all of your comments!  They motivate me!
