Today was a good day. I made it 20 minutes on the elliptical machine without collapsing. OMG!!!! It was definitely a workout for me. I want to beat the girls that get up there and read a magazine for 30 minutes with no problem, but I know one day I will be that girl.
So, Jeannie made me realize something today. I can have M&M's! It is not like I am giving up everything, I am simply learning how to eat right and incorporate good filling foods into my life. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy life simple pleasures every now and then. I may have eaten too many, but I can't beat myself up over it. I just need to know that there needs to be a limit and that I shouldn't eat the entire bag, box, cake whatever the case may be. I am glad that I choose to go to a WW meeting because it is no secret pill or prepared foods for you to eat. WW teaches you how to eat for the rest of your life. So, thanks to all who convinced me to go to a meeting, I owe you one.
It's been four weeks?

Hey, Stephanie, I love the attitude! It's so easy to think you blew it and fall completely off track. Way to go! I'm proud of you for keeping up with the changes and for not letting the tiny steps back beat you. I loved WW when I did it and I know that if I'd have kept it in my life I would be much better off. You're right on that it will help you fit healthy eating into your life instead of making you change your whole life to lose weight. Keep it up!
