Daisy Chick...........no reason to over a chocolate bar, so long as you stay within points. Earn your chocolate bar, and eat it happily.

When you mess up and go over, chalk it up to experience and realize that the occasional splurge is good for the mind and the metabolism.

You go girl!

I wasn't too worried about the chocolate bar, but was a little concerned about the BK Whooper and fries. Certainly not a healthy choice.

Worrying wont get you anything, except maybe some heartburn.

If you slip, just get back up and keep going. It's not a huge deal.

But, remember, earn your self a little indulgence from time to time, so you dont slip!

Weight loss isn't about a diet. It's about a lifestyle change and about big goals and small ones. So one BK burger won't ruin your weight loss goal. Giving up will. If you put it all in perspective and keep on going, you will get there. BUT, you need people behind you to support you and push you and help you. That is what Weight Watchers does and your family and anyone else who will stand behind you hand help push. And it's what goals are all about.

My son Paul did that. He set his sights on a goal and just kept on going. You can too. Just keep on going. Maybe his story can inspire you. He wanted to join the Marines. BADLY. He was 100 pounds overweight and a chain smoker. He has always been overweight. He was 27 1/2 years old. Here is his before picture:

He walked in to the Marine Recruiter and said, "I want to be a Marine."

The recruiter told him, if he would stick to the plan and come to the work outs, he would stand behind him. And he did!

Here is Paul at his Marine Corps Graduation: (I barely recognized him.)

And here he is about one year later. (This year.) He's just 29 1/2 now. He no longer smokes and is incredibly healthy.

HANG in there.

Don't worry ladies, I am not discouraged at all. This isn't my first weight loss rodeo. I have lived on the diet roller coaster for years. My diet has patterns of healthy days followed by bad choice days and then healthy days. I would lose a lot more weight if I narrowed down the bad choice days a little.

Queen Mum, your son really pulled himself together and got healthy, he looks great now. Good for him!

I was hoping he could be an inspiration. He did pull himself together. BUT he didn't do it alone. It took alot of support from others and a goal. He keeps looking forward. I think those are the keys.

So how YOU doin?

Try this: put on your fav sweats and sneakers and go for a walk.......walk like you KNOW you are hot! Yeah, hold up your head and swing those hips.
Have you got a man? Flirt a little.

Lets try for one more pound. I KNOW I can find another to lose! Can you? Are ya up for it?

I am SO GLAD THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER! I was not on track one bit this weekend. :/ I have a really bad habit of doing great and then doing really bad. It is NOT a "set back" it is just me not giving it 100%, or even 50%. I am really just being lazy! You can't call it a set back when you do it repeatedly over and over for 2 years straight. I looked back at my WW journal. I have gained 30 pounds since Aug. 1, 2011!!!!!!!!! I am trying to be honest with myself. I can't always say "oh its ok today is a new day, I will start today." That is getting me NO where. Here are some various weights I just wrote down from my WW journal so show my rollercoaster ride.

Weight 225 on 7/1/11
Weight 218 on 7/11/11
weight 210 on 7/25/11
weight 208 on 8/1/11
weight 219 on 9/12/11
weight 226 on 10/24/11
weight 231 on 12/26/11
weight 238 on 1/2/12

I am going to sound like a broken record, but today I am going to try my best to keep track of everything I put in my mouth and keep within my WW points. And then tomorrow and the next day and the next day too.
