My Buddy.

Tonight I went to a bonfire on the beach for singles for my church. It was a huge one they put on once a month for "mid-singles" (25-35 year olds), and everyone complains about it, but they go anyway because they are looking for that special someone. Well, I ran into a friend of mine that goes to the same Weight Watchers I go to. We started chatting and I told her about my hiatus I'm taking yet again, because I get burned out of the weight loss process and have to take breaks. Nothing really changes that much for me because I'm trying to make it a permanent change, I just give myself a mental slack and go about my business. If I don't get a workout in during one of these weeks, I don't beat myself up. I tend to give myself more leeway on the diet too. Which can be nice, but also detrimental when I get on the scale. Anyway, she said that she too, is on a break, going on 3 weeks. We had a good laugh and then decided that we needed to start being a support to one another. Why not do this together? Why not text or call each other when we're about to break? So I am going to go to her weigh in on Saturday and start weighing on Saturdays instead of Mondays. Which means I'm weighing in 2 days. YIKES! Have I mentioned I've been taking a break? I like my Monday weigh ins...I'm a little anxious to switch. So weird, I know. But Friday nights could be bad, and then weighing in the next day? Of course...when are my Sundays ever good????

I did meet some new guys, for those of you that are wondering. :) One got my number, and another is a cute guy I've been flirting with at church for the past few weeks. So I feel good about tonight's festivities; it always gives me hope when I meet somewhat normal men. Yayy for me! I guess I'll get back on my rampage since there are now cute boys that I've met and new weigh ins to be had. Plus several people commented on me "looking so skinny" and of course that just fueled my fire. I can do this!

  2. I think changing things up will really help you. It is a great support to have a friend to do it with you. My mom goes to WW with me & Matt counts with me too. If he weren't on track I know I'd have a terrible time staying focused. Good luck with your new weigh in tomorrow!

    Also glad to hear you met some new guys! :)

  4. Dez, Thatsounds like fun--and a Saturday weigh-in may relieve some of the stress for you over the week-end--which may eleviate the need for breaks! :D Deb

  5. sounds fun, Diz. and maybe weighing in on saturday will "weigh" heavy on your mind on fridays and help you make good decisions? i know when i weighed on saturday, there were many times i wanted to let it all go on friday, but thought, i've made it till now, i can wait a few more hours.
    at any rate, you can SO do this!

  7. Creating a new bond with a friend, and having the excitement of "possiblities" for romance; all good news! Normal men are attracted to confident women that have full lives and you certainly have all of that to offer, along with being adorable. Go Diz!
