With those last last couple of months before Disney of dieting, I achieved my biggest goal of walking Disney. And I did it! I walked every bit of it without issue and enjoyed this so much. I never felt like I couldn't do it. Was I sore heck yeah! But so was my hubby and my son, who can run circles around us all. I never once didn't get to not do something! It was such an amazing experience and made me so happy! Best vacation ever!
But as with all amazing dreams there, are so draw backs. One being Soda Pop! While on vacation in the Most Magical Place on earth, we had free drinks with our stay. And lets just say lots and lots of sugary soda. When we got back this didn't change and we kept drinking it more and more. Another draw back with every meal they gave you dessert. Don't get me wrong they were amazing desserts, but so not good for you. I mean we are talking Chocolate covered marshmallows, cakes, cookies, ice cream and more 2 times a day. And as much as I wanted to be strong, dessert is my kryptonite.
So I am sure you are wondering what this means, well what it means is that I have gained back alot of the weight I lost. When I weighed in Yesterday with my new diet start date, I was at 286.6. All that hard work down the drain! I have discovered that I struggle with how to eat when not on the strict program. When I tried to change some of that, I discovered I couldn't eat by my DNA until I reached the point I wanted to be at, which is well over 100 lbs away. This was something I had misunderstood when I signed up.
So Matt and I talked a lot about this and what it meant for me. I can't live eating what I was eating forever. First off cause I hate Chicken and was so tired of eating the same thing over and over again. It gets old and I find that when I would go off this diet for a short time I yo-yo'd bad! I would gain 10-20 lbs back easily. So we decided to try something different this time. I want something that will keep teaching me how to eat without making me feel like I am being tortured by a diet.
So.... yesterday was Day 1 on Weight Watchers. They have a new plan that seems to really focus on the right foods, movement and changing the way we think. I don't know if this is the end all be all answer and I know I am not going to loose as fast this way, but I already feel so much more sane. I don't feel starved and I am still eating super healthy. Granted we are only on day 2, so I am praying that this stays this way.
So I am going to do a better job of updating and keeping you all posted on what's going on! Who knows maybe we will succeed to getting back to 250 and under, Lol! As my Bestie Allison told me the other day " I feel like you can handle the other really strict diet that you can do just about anything" and I am so thankful for her and hearing that! She is right, I can do this no problem! Its taking baby steps and getting soda out of my life again! Which it is!!! NO MORE SODA POP FOR ME!
Until next time..... Faith, Love, Pixie Dust and Me!
