Doodle and Bean: Confession session. Boo Hoo!

Confession session. Boo Hoo!

Well, we're all sad here at the old Poole ranchero because momma stepped on the scales yesterday and they read 241. Yep, you read that right - I gained a pound.

I am honestly surprised the scales didn't register a higher number because I spent the last week eatin' like a big ol' hawg! I'd like to blame it on the girls being sick, lack of sleep and my continued struggle to stick with Weight Watchers, but honestly I just threw in the towel and reverted back to my old comfortable ways.

This is truly much harder than I dreamed it would be. Old habits are so ingrained that they are immensely hard to break. I am trying so hard to be mindful that permanent changes never come easy and taking it slow and steady will help me to win this race; but, dang, it's frustrating.

Oh well. I must move on now keeping my past mistakes in mind as I continue to fight these demons.
