It's been a long time! You might be able to guess why I haven't written in my blog for a long time. I have not exactly been on track with my weight loss for the past several months. I have attempted to do well, but more often than not I have failed. Most of you probably know that I recently got married. I married a wonderful man on November 28th. I have known him for a long time, but we didn't really get to know each other until we went to Ireland with a singing group this past May. While we were dating we went out to eat every evening, which was a lot of fun, but I didn't have enough discipline to always pick the healthiest items. Mack and I spent a lot of time walking at the different local parks, which helped me to not start gaining a lot of weight back. It is definitely possible to maintain a diet when eating out, but it requires a lot of planning and extreme discipline to choose healthy food, and sadly a lot of restaurants have very few items that fit into that category. When I would get to the restaurant and look at the menu I was tempted to choose the more unhealthy items. I put on several pounds during the past seven months, and realized that I was undoing a lot of my hard work from the past two years. I started back to Weight Watchers at the beginning of January. If you followed my past blog posts you know that I had lost almost 100 lbs. I am up 20 lbs from that point, but I am well on my way to losing that weight, and then I will continue on until I reach my goal weight. I know that I will need to continue to work to maintain that weight loss, and I am up to the challenge! I am very excited to be back on track! There is nothing quite like feeling that you are in control of what you eat, and that what you are eating is not controlling you! My husband is extremely supportive of my efforts, which has helped give me the extra boost I need to keep going towards my goal weight. For everyone who is on this weight loss journey as well, don't get discouraged, keep fighting! I know the constant struggle! It helps to know that there are others that understand! Let's be an encouragement to each other throughout this journey!
