This week I had my second weigh in. I was extremely nervous because I was convinced that I had gained weight instead of lost. Apparently, there was one thing that I didn't understand about weight watchers until late last week. If you aren't familiar with Weight Watchers, you are given a certain amount of daily points, based on the information about your body that you give them, and from that, you eat accordingly. I wasn't aware that you were supposed to try to eat the entirety of your points. I was just eating so I wouldn't use up all of my points and would lose weight. That is probably how I lost 6.5 pounds in the first week. Then I read on the Internet somewhere, that you are supposed to try to eat all of your points, without forcing yourself. This is how you moderate your weight loss I guess. Needless to say, this worried me greatly. I was very nervous this morning when I got up to weigh myself, almost to the point where I didn't even get on the scales. To my surprised, I hadn't gained any weight! I had actually lost .2 pounds. Which isn't much. but considering that I was eating more than the first week, I still think its great.
I have already come to realization that if I do gain a little bit of weight one week, its not the end of the world. It is just merely a hiccup along the way, and its bound to happen. I especially anticipate this when I start incorporating exercise into all of this. I have decided to hold off on the exercise for now, until I can lose more weight. While I know exercise is important and vital to weight loss, I feel like I need to lose more weight before I'm comfortable adding muscle.
I hope you enjoyed this little update. I love seeing that I have readers, even if its only a few. It makes me feel good that someone is taking time out of their day to read what I have to say. Thanks for reading!
