I hit the ground running with Weight Watchers and had two great weeks of weight loss. As my clothes fit again and I feel physically better, my intensity and dedication to the program begins to wain. So, I must keep my eyes on my weight goal. Otherwise, I'll be right back where I was and then some. Let's not lie to ourselves. Just because our pants aren't tight, it doesn't mean that we're where we need to be.
What are some other lies we tell ourselves?
- If you eat cookie dough before it's cooked, you don't have to count it. Wrong!
- A few nibbles here and a few nibbles there don't count towards our calories. Wrong!
- If it's not in a food guide or if the nutrition facts aren't listed, it must be OK to eat. Wrong!
- My favorite is at church potlucks. I'm sure you've heard people spry, "Lord, bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies." No matter how much you might pray this, the casseroles aren't going to get any healthier. They're still loaded with fat and while they have some nutritional value, they aren't good for a weight loss plan.
Where do you want to be? Go there.
