several years ago i lost a good amount of weight. i was just about at my goal weight. i remember someone grabbing my arm and and suggesting i lift weights because i had chicken arms. at that point i wasn't used to having any attention to my weight and i wasn't sure what to do.
so. baby got back.
losing weight a second time has been really interesting. i see where some of my behavior is rooted and ways that i fall into old habits. since returning to sierra leone i've had a hard time getting back on track. i didn't know that two weeks of not tracking food would affect me so much. i remember sitting and reflecting on my journey with weight watchers. i had to come to the conclusion that this is something that i will have to be aware of for the rest of my life...and that's just part of the responsibility of my care of my body. even though i sometimes want to kick people who have high metabolism in the knees...or punch people who don't like sweets in the stomach...or trip people who can go through buffets without thinking about it.
now. that's too violent.
so here's to counting what i eat. getting my fruits and veggies in this body. and taking care of this body.
it's almost the weekend. yes.

YES. weight watchers is all about writing your food down. it was a little inconvenient to do that in sierra leone :) and am back in the habit now. food journal.
