You know that moment when you realize you are the fat friend? You know the one. You're used to being your normal size, then you see pictures of yourself and realize YOU are actually the fat one?
Yeah, that was me this weekend.

Plan Yout Own Success Story-from Weight Watchers
Do you ever read our Success Stories and wonder if that could one day be you?
Why not do some positive planning to make that dream come true? By taking a few simple steps, you could make great strides towards your goal.
It may seem a strange idea, but planning your own Success Story may just be the key to your own success. If you can visualise the person you’re going to be, you may well be halfway there. After all, you need to know where you’re going to get there!
Plan your appearance
Visualise your Success Story photo shoot by answering a few questions…
•What can you see yourself wearing? Is it perfect skinny jeans or something smarter?
•What kind of colors do you see? Are they different from what you’re wearing now?
•How do you seem to feel? Do you see yourself smiling or serious?
•Just how slim are you? Can you translate that energetic, slim person to a target weight?
By answering these simple questions you may be able to identify the kind of clothes you really want to be able to wear, the style you need to aim for and even your target weight.
Plan your turning point
As you probably know from reading other people’s Success Stories, people who’ve lost weight usually report some kind of turning point. Looking back in your mind’s eye, what turned out to be the key to your own weight loss? (Did you start planning more carefully? Did you become more adventurous? Did you start tracking in a new way? What kind of new exercise did you try out?)
There’s bound to be something that will trigger you forward to higher levels of success. Work out what it could be in your own personal Success Story…
Plan your people
Although we’re alone to some extent in life, most of us get a lot of support from people around us. Looking ahead, who is it that made the difference to you? (Was it your leader? Was it the people you got to know the in the Weight Watchers Community? Was it your weight-loss buddy… If so, who was that exactly? Did you manage to talk a relative into joining you on your weight loss journey? Was it those phone calls you made to that supportive somebody?
Plan your new priorities
Most success stories include some mention of a change of priorities. How will your life have changed? What will your new perspective be? What new routines will you have? Which part of your new lifestyle will have been an essential part of getting you to this point? (Is planning now your top priority? Is it buying in healthy snacks? Is it regular walking? Do you see yourself regularly going to the gym?)
Plan your pointers
What will your Tips be? If you can guess what your keys to change are, you’ll be well on your way to that real Success Story write-up. (If you're already there, tell us!)

Rough Waters, Smooth Sailing Ahead
The last couple weeks have been rough to say the least. I was off traveling for work, then I was planning a bridal shower. I stopped taking care of myself, (i.e. no sleep, not enough veggies and water) so I've been on a plateau. I was in bed for 2 days straight and hopped up on drugs. This helped with the weight loss, not gonna lie.
I'm not gaining, but also not losing. Need to get into high gear. Hopefully I'm feeling good enough to hop on the elliptical for about 30 mins tonight, and maybe a full 45 tomorrow.
Today was weigh-in so it's a fresh start for me. Here's to a great week ahead!

Today
I had Panda Express for lunch.
BUT, I had the Panda Bowl instead of the 2 entree, plus rice. See, little changes!!! I still have 9.5 points for dinner. What to have, what to have. A serving of mushroom chicken is only 3 points...no, not twice in a day. Me? Eat Panda twice? In a day?! Noooooo. Never.

Last Week
Soooo, I gained two pounds last week. I was traveling for work, but I did work out 2 of the 3 nights I was gone. Too much sitting between driving and flights. Plus sodium laden food. Not so good.
Luckily, this morning I weighed myself and the 2 pounds are off. Whew. I'm drinking TONS of water and I know it's helping to flush out the crap from last week.
Here's to a great week!!

I Need This Shirt
This really happened today. Maybe just a coincidence that the second time I wore this dress someone asked me if I was pregnant. Or it could be the extra 30 pounds I'm packing lately.
Today was taken to another level though. Someone actually cupped my belly and asked if I was pregnant. I didn't realize what she said at first and tried to shake it off. It put me in a really bad mood for the rest of the day. So, I came home and worked my a&* off to the Jillian Michaels Fat Burning Cardio DVD.
Moral of the story, never wear leggings with a loose dress when you are 30 pounds overweight. That's all.
Schman Strikes Again
Holy Cow, Jillian Michaels can make a work out video. Her new one is 7, yep SEVEN circuits of all cardio. No weights, just straight up movement the entire 45 minutes. It's amazing though. I feel more toned and fit after I do it. Even though I want to die during it. As she says in her 30-Day Shred, "I want you gargling your heart." Yep, sounds about right.
Here's to day 2 of intense cardio burn. Only 1 month until Vegas so I have a little bit of time. :)
