I have developed a strategy throughout the years to completely avoid taking responsibility for gaining weight.... It's called the "Blame everyone and everything, even if it means blaming God, ultimate defense mechanism".....
p.s. it doesn't work.... EVER...
My true weight struggle began after I left home for school, and I have been up and down the scales for the past several years since. After meeting my husband-to-be I became quite comfortable and began gaining even more. Now I am at my heaviest.
Devan and I joined weight watcher together (my fourth time around) and he did amazing, losing approx. 30 lbs. I am happy for him, but for some reason I can't seem to motivate myself. One would think that getting married and wanting to look amazing in your wedding dress would be the greatest motivation there could be. But for some unknown reason this is not motivation enough. I was recently diagnosed with Lupus and I know I would greatly benefit from losing weight, but again, no motivation.
The only glimpse of motivation that I can come up with is that the day before my Grandfather past away we had a conversation about my wedding dress. I told him I really wanted to lose weight so that I would look good in my dress, and with utmost seriousness he asked, "What will happen if you gain 10 lbs?"...at that point I promised him I wouldn't...

So what is the promise? Are you going to loose 10 pounds?
You know what. I never struggled with weight until I left home either, before that mom made all the meals and they were always fairly healthy, and there was conversation at supper time...and I just didn't really overeat...now living with Nick...he doesn't really talk he just eats at supper and he eats a lot...his bad habits have creeped onto my ass!! Only thing is...he didn't gain weight...go figure....keep working Jen..I am coming to WW tomorrow night to MOTIVATE YOU!! and myself!! see you soon!

Jen...are we going to get any more posts?? I am starting to wonder what you have been up to. Tried to call you on Friday but no answer...talk to you soon!
So did you make the veggie pasta? How did it taste? You really don't need meat and it saves a lot of points!
