Tomorrow is Weigh-in Day

Well, I'm actually looking forward to getting weighed in tomorrow. I believe I've been following the overall plan quite faithfully, so I'm looking forward to some good news. I am not looking for an exact number at the moment, just a downward trend. And I believe I can sustain that for some time because I've done it before. Well, if I do, then I'll be able to say "Oops, I did it again!"

Last week's meeting:

At last week's meeting, our leader asked us why we first joined WW. Here are some of the reasons that were mentioned (some typical and maybe some not so):

• I don't want to buy a larger size
• I want to lose weight in a sensible way
• I want to feel healthier
• I want to look better
• I want more energy
• I have an important event/responsibility coming up and I'm concerned about my appearance
• I want to improve my self-esteem
• I don't want to buy any more "fat clothes"
• I didn't like the way I looked in a photo

One thing to keep in mind is that my motivation for starting this weight-loss program can change. The thing that brought me to the program originally might not be an issue anymore (well I'm not at that point yet but I could be). So it's a good idea to check in periodically with my/yourself to determine my current motivation. In other words, I might start to go down in size, but I still want to reach my goal. So the original "I don't want to go up a size" might be revised to "I want to be a smaller size" or something like that. Okay, I'm cool with that.


I can relate to all of these reasons on some level.
