"Never Trade What You Want The Most For What You Want At The Moment"

Week Two is over! Again another week of awesome recipes! My family and I enjoyed General Tso’s Chicken over white rice, & Southern-style Oven Fried Chicken with parmesan mashed potatoes (our favorites out of all the recipes this week). As usual some recipes did need some modifications but all and all they were delicious!

I didn’t get to exercise as much as I would have liked too. This week was crazy with Abby’s new bed coming in and my husbands work holiday party (yes I know it’s a little late). I was able to do my workout video two times this week, which to me is not really acceptable. I need to make more time for it even if I have to wake up extra early. I would like to do it at least four to five times a week.

I honestly feel that being on Weight Watchers will be the best thing to ever happen to me. After my husband and kids of course! I have been overweight since I was about eleven years old and I was always picked on for it. I didn’t have many friends, I never had a boyfriend. I was quiet and kept to myself only talking to the few close friends I had. I never felt like I was good enough for anyone or anything. I didn’t think I would ever find someone to love me for me regardless of how big I was, and I wasn’t even close to how much I weighed now.

When I met TJ I honestly didn’t think I was going to meet anyone. I was tired of meeting someone and starting to like them when it was obvious they didn’t feel the same. TJ didn’t care about how much I weighed. He thought I was funny, and smart, and pretty. He really cared about me. In the beginning I considered breaking up with him just so he wouldn’t do it first. But I knew if I did that I might regret it. Now here I am +75lbs, 6 years, a wedding, and two kids later. Still together and still in love despite all the weight I gained.

It feels great to have my husband by my side supporting me. He joined weight watchers with me. He eats what I eat, and exercises when I do. He believes I can achieve my goal and will be here every step of the way to help me and push me when I need it. I lost 3lbs this week. I think that’s pretty good for my second week. My goal for this week is to lose at least 3lbs. Hope you check back next Sunday to see if I meet my goal!
