Weighing in Wednesday

With the new year coming everyone is talking about dieting… even “The O” is revealing she packed on 40 lbs! (Did you see her super skinny?!? I honestly either never saw her like that or totally forgot!.. sorry Oprah! don’t hurt me!) 

… and so I ask you, If Oprah is admitting to extra lbs on the cover of a magazine- shouldn’t you be doing the same? (hehe)
Last week (thanks to Scary Mommy!) I learned of a great community of dieters called “The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans”








First of all the name is adorable how could I not sign up!?!
As you all know I just had my daughter in September, and so naturally… I’ve been struggling to take off all of that baby weight.. ok maybe not *STRUGGLING* per say, cause I haven’t really given it the BIG EFFORT and commitment it needs....(by the way… why is it I gained a ton of weight in my CALVES of all places this time around?… GROSS)
But now Im in the Sisterhood, still using Weightwatchers as my method of dieting (I do LOVE  & highly reccommend the weightwatchers program, in the past have lost & kept off over 30 lbs with it!)... and Im going to LOSE LOSE LOSE once again!
This week Im doing *ok* so far….  I do have slight addiction to Hershey Kisses lately, not really sure where that came from. I was never a big fan before. I keep lying thinking to my self…. these little pieces of heaven are ok, its portion control! … except Im not so sure its CONTROL of any sort when your hand keeps digging back into the bag for 3 or 4 pieces. And in my defense, I do try to keep them away and in the pantry… so to get to them I actually have to get up and walk to get one more piece… its just this method doesnt seem to be working out for me cause my fat @$$ doesn’t seem to mind making the trip for more….  (Hey, that counts as exercise right?!? ha)

    Congrats on joining the sisterhood. That is awesome that WW has worked so well for you in the past.

    There is no way I can start a diet at this time of the year. I have NO willpower!

  • Mommy Mo

    Oh yeah, another mommy who gave birth recently. I had my son Sept. 25, the third child for me. I, too, have done WW in the past and been successful.

    I can’t seem to find the motivation to get really going on this. Right now, I just want to eat the whole damn bag of Hershey kisses. And them move on to the bag of chips right next to it : ).

    I’ll have to check out that site – had my little chunky monkey back in August and though I’ve lost about 25 lbs (thanks in part to weight watchers too) I still have more I’d like to lose. Just don’t have the will power around the holidays to say no to the cookies!!
