I was doing so well. I lost 17.4 lbs in a little under 3 months. Weight watchers was working.
And then I got busy. I couldn't go to the meetings like I wanted and needed. I didn't have time to cook, let alone grocery shop. Working 3 (yes, three, I teach after school too!) jobs kinda took it's toll.
Now I'm scared. I haven't weighed in 3 weeks (?) I think. I gave into the cravings. I am a major stress eater - and I don't eat anything healthy. Donuts and ice cream and fast food abound during my days of stress. Somehow I have to find a way around this, because I'm going to face another 3-4 stressful weeks over the summer when I teach ESL and run a show all at the same time.
My meeting is tomorrow night and I'm debating. To go or not to go? I'm afraid I'm going to go weigh and have gained 5 pounds or something. I gain really, really fast. Well, who doesn't when you are eating like I've been the past couple of weeks? Part of me wants to take a week to get back on track, to track my food like I should, to get some exercise in, and then weigh in next week. Another part of me feels like I need to go weigh in, if only for the reality check. No one except me and the person weighing me in will know how bad it is - and I might be pleasantly surprised.
Somehow I have to convince myself to go. There's no reason not to, except my vanity.

Just do it! You'll feel better after you go because you'll know the truth. You are doing awesome and you look great!
GO! Nothing like a reality check to get you back at it.
And you're right - you might be pleasantly surprised. On the other hand, it might not be as bad as you think.
One more thing - Rach is right - you're doing great.
When I did weight watchers years ago I remember going one week - I had gained a pound - and I tried to convince the woman that it was because I was sick and was taking a cough medicine that had a lot of calories in it.
