Well, been on vacation and admittedly haven't given too much thought to WW. I'll still go and weigh in today, but won't be devastated if I see a gain. Gotta keep it all in perspective! I'm looking at the BIG picture and quite frankly a loss or gain of two pounds doesn't make or break any diet. It's the consistent downward direction the scale (and dress size) that matter. It's consistently gone down for months now and one small gain will not break all my progress.
No, I'm seriously not trying to "convince myself here". Just blogging my thoughts regarding my journey. Although I have a teeeeeeny tiny follower base, it may just be an encouragement to someone else.
For example: Say you're taking a road trip of 1000 miles. You get a little lost, but eventually find your way back to the right road. Ok, so it took you 1050 miles to make that 1000 mile trip. BUT, you don't say..."Dang it! I got off the right road and I'll never find my way back...just forget it!" NO! You get directions and get back on the road. OK, so it took you a little longer, but you still made it to your destination AND perhaps saw a little different scenery along the way.
Weight loss is no different really. Everyone gets a little lost on their journey! Some get to goal weight without ever wavering from their diet. That's great for them. But the journey doesn't end there and we all still have to navigate life and learn its lessons...and at times, we'll get a little lost. Choosing to find your way back to the "right road" is what will ultimately determine long term success.
So, if anyone out there is reading this...thanks for sharing my journey with me. My so-call epiphany's aren't anything new or special, but they're changing my life little by little and I appreciate you sharing it with me.

There were a few times I was going to quit Weight Watchers because I had some major gains but my leader told me it is a way of life when you are changing your eating habits. I know it is probably going to take me another year or more to lose the weight but I am trying to just focus on each day. We can do this.
