The Ups and Downs of My Journey

If you know me well enough, you know I'm a roller coaster fanatic. However, I don't like it when any aspect of my life is a roller coaster. Sometimes my journey has been like a roller coaster.
For the month of July and some of August I was in a bad slump. I'm an emotional eater and I really believe that part of the slump was the starting my new job. I'm doing much better now, but I wanted to share with my readers what life was like during those weeks:

• I made excuses to eat and go over points, such as: "I'll only be here once", "This might be my only chance to eat this", "It's a special occasion".
• I thought I was ready to give up. I was ready to quit because I missed the freedom of how much I wanted, whenever I wanted and whatever I wanted.
• I was in tears over whether or not I should quit.
• I was also in tears over being bored with tracking and Weight Watchers. The expression "bored to tears" comes to mind.
• I missed meetings for an entire month because I was afraid that I gained weight.

I finally went to a meeting about a week and a half ago and seeing my leader and my WW friends really helped. At one point it was kinda hard to stay in my seat and I almost walked out, but I stayed. One of my WW friends, let's call her Evie, gave me a pep talk that really resonated with me. It gave me a kick in the butt too. I am very thankful for the wonderful people I have met at my meetings and my leader.
So, I survived. I am fully back on the "wagon". Just wanted to show that it's not always easy. I may be very positive on this blog, but I have my bad days. This was the worst slump I've ever had on Weight Watchers, but I'm gonna be ok.
As always, thank you for reading.
