How I did it: I started on Weight Watchers last year and decided that if I couldn't eat the foods I loved, it wouldn't work. I had no desire to resort to diet foods or low fat/low carb/sugar free foods to get to my goal weight--even if it meant it might take a longer time.
I followed the plan as written and didn't make excuses any more
Lessons & tips: This is my 3rd go round on Weight Watchers and the first few times, I certainly wasn't ready. Using the Beck Diet Solution as well as the Law of Attraction helped me get to goal. I read lots of magazine articles, books, watched TV shows asked successful losers...anything I could do to educate myself about eating well, working out and getting to goal.
Resources: I checked out books from the library on losing weight, fitness or overall wellness. I also subscribe to Shape Magazine and get tons of inspiration from everyday people there.
I also listened to podcasts while working out so that I stayed motivated while I was exercising.
I really like the Jillian Michaels and Inside Out Weight Loss podcasts.
Good luck to you, I know it’s a hard but rewarding process to undertake.
Be open to everything and try not to eat too many “diet” or 100 calorie pack foods just because they’re lower in calories. Have good food in moderation and exercise in moderation.
If you ever need help, motivation, advice or whatever feel free to be in touch.
