Retraining My Brain
Today is 2 months since I started weight watchers, and I have lost 25 pounds! If I had my way it would come off much faster, but I don't think I can complain about 25lbs in 2 months. One thing I'm really focusing on is thinking in a new way. I have always rewarded myself with food. Obviously, if I rewarded my weight loss with food (which, by the way, is still my first instinct) I would be getting nowhere. So instead I've been trying to find a new way to reward myself when I reach weight loss goals. I came up with the idea of an Add-a-Bead Bracelet. I set goals and buy myself a bead whenever I reach those goals. For larger goals I will buy a charm for my bracelet. I actually earned a charm today for hitting the 25 lb mark, so I will be picking that out soon! I've found that it's really working for me. I actually have to ask myself if that dessert is worth not getting that bead I want for another week. I hope to have this bracelet full by the end of the year! :-)
