Obviously this is the third post of my weight watchers series and I'm rather excited about it. On October 23rd, I was officially down my first stone and two pounds into my next one! Honestly, I went into the weigh in thinking I had lost nothing. I had a bit of a "ron de vous" with pizza over the weekend followed by some damn good popcorn! Pizza has always been and forever will be my sworn nemesis! BUT ENOUGH ABOUT PIZZA!
Needless to say I was over the moon when my truly wonderful WW leader told me that I had hit my first stone. Those of you reading this who know me personally would have seen the picture I posted on Facebook on the day that I had received the news. For those of you who follow me on my blog page, twitter and instagram, here it is.
"Today, I have officially lost 1 stone and 2 pounds with weight watchers. This has been both the hardest and the easiest thing I've ever done. Some days, all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball with a pizza and forget it all. But seeing the physical results, is just incredible. My leader asked me during my second week of the programme if I felt embarrassed about being a young weight watchers member as she had young members in the past who would hide their WW cards in the deepest part of their bags. I looked to her and said, "why would I be embarrassed about taking control of my own life". I still stand by that answer. HERE'S TO THE NEXT STONE!"
Please excuse the hair. The picture was taken just as I got through the door after Zumba. Such a glamorous life I live!
So yes. In the post I address what my leader said to me during my second week of the programme. And like I said, I am not one bit embarrassed about being a 20 year old WW member. It took a lot for me to join so no way was I going to hide the progress I was making. I do this hoping that I can maybe inspire just one other person to do it. I've tried dieting alone before. And I was never able to stick with it because I had no idea what I was doing. But this programme is just amazing! They lay everything out for you and the amount of foods you actually can it is rather surprising. I usually treat myself on the weekends with dinners out or the cinema so it gives me something to work towards during the week. I also bought a new little black dress from boohoo.com for a 21st and how I felt when I put it on, is how I want to feel all the time!
I'm not going to lie, over the last two weeks I have been very bold. They say that everyone will hot a wall where they think "why bother" and "what's the point", which is true. I had one of those last week and just spent it eating my feelings. But I had a little one to one chat with myself and remembered why I chose to do this. I know I'm up a couple of pounds but I am going to go back into that weigh in tomorrow and get back on the horse. I've come too far and worked too hard to stop this now.
Thank you all for your incredible support and let me know your progress if you're with WW too!
Much Love,
Shannon.
