After tough workout I never want to eat. Additionally, I am taking one special product I have discovered recently. This is Cardijex by Military Grade. It enhances heart health, therefore, helps me to intensify my workouts. I can easily go through 2 or even 3 consecutive training classes in the gym. Besides, it promotes calorie burning. Perfect combination for me!Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-64593270788225173082010-06-09T21:02:56.912-06:002010-06-09T21:02:56.912-06:00Dude.

No one knows, when, how or why you will see them around, so it is pretty open ended. i know you will be missed. I miss you now!!! I wish I would have said good bye to everyone, but, then again, I am sure, even after 2-3 yrs I am just a bleep in their lives. But, I do not think, after all I am learning, I will be back!<br />See you soon.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668281960805755241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-32547410578724607362010-06-08T08:47:39.723-06:002010-06-08T08:47:39.723-06:00Good for you for pushing through it all and DOING ...Good for you for pushing through it all and DOING IT!! ;) <br />DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-70942702185073767902010-06-08T08:27:53.816-06:002010-06-08T08:27:53.816-06:00This is a wonderful post!

I know that there is a great deal of fear in learning to trust in yourself, but ultimately it's the greatest healing you can do. I truly believe that our bodies are built to eat intuitively healthy amounts and that we interfere with that natural process as we have learned to use food as a drug. I don't condemn anyone for doing that (including myself)-- it's a form of self-medication. But, I feel that weight watchers and other diet programs don't address this fundamental cause of overeating. I think it's a great tool for losing weight. However, I lost 100 lbs on weight watchers and gained it back when life became difficult for me emotionally. I think the heart of the matter is learning how to really, really listen to your body. I am so impressed with your blog that I started one myself as I try to go through this journey. Please stop by and visit sometime! It's called Donut Therapy :-)<br />LalaLalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940908179423814031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-9847575411924072352010-06-07T21:53:51.584-06:002010-06-07T21:53:51.584-06:00You have to try...I will be honest I had to go bac...You have to try...I will be honest I had to go back and it was scratch that IS harder the second time around...why????

First of all, I a...Well now, this is a great post. First of all, I always have Hope. Without Hope we really having nothing to look forward to.<br /><br />Second...Weight Watchers is not the *be all and end all* of everything holy. I think that your leader was out of line to speak of a member (or former) in that way. WW is here to make a profit first of all. If we all fail and have to pay money again to lose the weight, they make more money. By her allowing those other members in your group to think that Fi "will return, they always do" was rude to everyone in attendance. That was telling everyone...hey chumps, I'm beating my brains out lecturing you during class time but I know all of you will fail and be right back where you started from. Dump that group!!! If you need to return to a group setting for support, find another group.<br /><br />I am a Lifetime member of WW and I do not track every single thing I put in my mouth. I do not want to be tied to that now. What I learned at WW I try to use in the *real world* and so far it has been working. I go to WW meetings when we travel once or twice a month to keep my free status. It helps me to step on somebody elses scale and have that number written down. When I'm back in Tumwater I go to meetings weekly. Mainly to visit with the friends I've made there! :)<br /><br />Sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to encourage you to do what is best for YOU. WW does not know what is best for you.<br /><br />PS congrats on doing the race even though you were the only one. That takes guts and determination! You've got plenty of them, Miss Happy Pants!!!Margie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-13398050241342322222010-06-07T16:13:29.093-06:002010-06-07T16:13:29.093-06:00Everyone else has said it already.

But wow, I think WW is just like all the other diet wonders of the dieting industry in that they don't make money if you don't show so they want to assume people will be back plus they must have hoards of stats on fats. <br /><br />Her statement is really telling and somewhat short on integrity though I suppose there's a chance I could be taking it all out of context (because I am) when in fact, she meant something entirely different like "Oh, they always come back to show us how good they're doing after so many years so we can all celebrate!"Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-79662740128106327082010-06-07T12:36:47.611-06:002010-06-07T12:36:47.611-06:00Good job on you!

You've been struggling with it and I think it's finally clear to you. <br /><br />I'm sure that your leader didn't mean harm with her comment. It's not uncommon for people to leave and then reappear (I know, I did it... often. At least 12 times). <br /><br />As for WW not empowering people to go it alone... Well that's not the point. The point is that we don't have to be alone. If WW is the right plan for a person, and they stick with it through to their goal, they'll be able to attend free meetings. <br /><br />WW isn't the plan for everyone. That's clear. The meetings for me were key, even now. Feeling the support from a group of people who are going through or have gone through the same things. <br /><br />At any rate, don't worry about any of it. Do what's right for you. And if you choose to go back in the future, then so be it. <br /><br />I wish you the best, no matter what. As I'm sure your leader does as well.Jamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738443161419733382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-79693445785177514112010-06-07T10:45:08.917-06:002010-06-07T10:45:08.917-06:00Good for you, SmallerFunPants!:D Look, we ALL need...Good for you, SmallerFunPants!:D Look, we ALL need a starting point, a helping hand, a rock to leap off of... and then once we're airborne and off on our journey, we're on our own! <br /><br />I did lowcarb plans for a LONG time. Counted my carbs and planned my meals and I was really religious. Now? It's all intuitive. I know what my body likes. I know what it doesn't like. I know what makes me feel alive and energetic. I know what weighs me down and makes me want to take a nap. I track my food, just so I am mindful about eating and to make sure I eat ENOUGH... because if I'm honest, I'd go all day without eating. <br /><br />Truth.<br /><br />This is a point we all come to, where we know and trust ourselves and we can't follow someone else's path anymore. You'll be fine. You may bounce around a bit but maybe if you take some time at the end of each day to journal your eating, you'll be able to track any anomalies and just learn to not eat so much of that, or eat more of this. <br /><br />It's a process. Slow and annoying sometimes, but this is all a part of making it a lifestyle and not just a temporary diet. <br /><br />Those who don't believe in that are free to do so. Doesn't make them wrong... some people need structure and really believe in it. It doesn't make YOU wrong, either for pushing away from it.DL Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04413064407300936538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-32390471987978256142010-06-07T10:33:09.452-06:002010-06-07T10:33:09.452-06:00Cheers to you!

You move more and eat less and you will be healthy. Simple as that. <br /><br />I cannot believe your leader for saying things like that. She should have more faith in the program and the people that it has changed. <br /><br />I can respect weight watchers to a point..and then I have to stop. They understand how weight loss works, but they don't empower people to go it alone. <br /><br />Congrats on your WIN!SherRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076242760056599182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940532301117802640.post-36475967882708746792010-06-07T10:19:10.725-06:002010-06-07T10:19:10.725-06:00What an amazing realization for you.

It seems like you are already beyond them in the exercise arena too. Perhaps finding a group that pushes you to go faster and not slower would help.
