Motivation

Motivation to eat right and stay on track is different for everyone. My motivation is seeing a loss. The more I lose the more I want to continue doing what I'm doing, because it's working. There are weeks when I stay the same and don't have a loss, but I see how far I've come and I keep myself motivated to stay on track because I know I have a long way to go and eating healthy is the only option.

I have a mini weight goal which I hope to hit before the holiday season and a bigger weight goal which I probably won't hit until next year but my ultimate goal is to live a healthy lifestyle. Weight watchers has opened my eyes to eating foods that are going to keep my mind, body and soul healthy for life.

The thing about weight watchers is is that it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. I'm not dieting right now. I'm changing my life and hoping to rub off on my husband. My husband is not heavy at all but the food choices he makes are really unhealthy. He could live off of pepsi, frozen pizza and doritos. My husband loves all junk food and eats plenty of it weekly. He works away from home so he is forced to eat out all week for breakfast-dinner and then when he's here he devours a whole frozen pizza for lunch on the weekends.  I worry about his health and how eating out all the time is going to affect him in the long run. I do know that I've rubbed off on him a little bit as he has been ordering vegetables on the side at the restaurants-- something he never would have done before.

Weight watchers has a ton of healthy eating tips and recipes on their site. I'm always finding new things that work for me and my junk food loving husband would never know the difference if I didn't tell him.
