Forgive me readers, for I have sinned. It has been 6 hours since my last confession. (See there is a good catholic in my somewhere!)
It starts with a book.
What’s inside?
Is that a food journal? YES IT IS!
So, as hard as this is to admit I’m just going to let it rip. If I can be open and honest with anyone, its my readers.
I’ve gained 20lbs since my wedding day.
Yep. There is it.
I have a really bad habit of avoiding numbers I don’t like. For example, my bank account and credit card statements. Thank GOD I share both with my husband who keeps me in line.
Another number I have been avoiding is the one of the scale. Its just easier to NOT know. I decided to BUCK UP and get my ass on the scale. Sure enough, the number on the scale made me puke it my mouth.
I feel like I need to apologize to you guys. Each day I come on here and preach about healthy living, when I’ve been letting the pounds pile on. Even though I eat healthy, I still have a portion control problem. I guess the lesson learned is that you can get fat eating healthy food. Its unfortunate, but I will never be one of those girls that can just eat what I want. When I’m not religiously monitoring portion sizes etc, the calories add up quickly.
I work out often, I eat well. But the problem is that I eat too much.
I’m seeing so many amazing women around the blogosphere rededicate themselves to losing weight. They are so freakin’ motivational that its hard to sit by the sidelines.
I’ve been counting points for the last 2 weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. It feels so good to be on track, which goes hand in hand with my overall happiness.
I’m going back to my roots. My Weight Watchers roots. Its what helped me find my skinny self, and I’m determined to get there again.
Its on bitches. I’m getting back to my wedding weight.
No ifs ands or buts.
Whew. It feels so good to confess that evil secret.
I will be accepting my penance in the form of push-ups. :)

Way to go for "confessing"!! It takes a lot to face these sorts of things, I just faced a similar thing- I gained weight after my wedding too (it was in June), but I am driven to get back to where I was and surpass it by 50lbs, this is my goal!
You can do this girlie, you have all of us here in bloggie land to support you!
Looking forward in reading all about it!
I know you can do it, Amy!!!
You go, Amy! You can do it!
Now, drop and gimme 20 ;D
Good for you for admitting it and getting back in track! You can do it!
Wooooohooooo! Bring it, girl.
Operation Wedding Weight!
*SQUEELS*!!!!!!! Is it wrong/insensitive to be EXCITED right now!!
YAYYYY!!!
We truly are the same person just in different jurisdictions ya now ;-)
SO FRIGGING PROUD OF YOU!
I feel the exact same thing that I can feel through your post.
I feel so much more in my "element" now, don't you??!
So happy for you Amy!! Are you doing it on your own, or are you joining meetings?
Now start givin' up the hail Marys! ;-P
Good for you Amy! You can totally do it YOU are one of those Amazing Women as well!!!
Thank you so much for your honesty. I am addicted to weight loss blogs (yours included) and it is nice to see that the people I look up to slip too. (Okay, I know its not good for you but you lost it once, you can do it again!)
Also, I actaully just blogged about quitting ww because of the cost but I think you may have convinced me to keep on. Thank you.
It takes a certain kind of person to admit this to themselves, it takes an AMAZING WOMEN to admit it to all your readers.
You have been successful and you will continue to be successful, hold you head high and be proud of where you are right now and I admire you for your strength Amy.
You have been a success and you continue to be one, keep fighting!
I agree with all of the previous posters, it takes an amazing woman to be able to come "clean". You have all the right tools to get you there - I think the journal is the perfect idea, in fact, you just made me pull mine out.
I have no doubt in my mind you will get back to your wedding weight!!
There is absolutely no need to apologize to us what so ever. You are an amazing woman and a fitness superstar!
You gained a bit of weight, it happens to all of us. Really is just life. I'm SOOOO freaking proud of you for posting this and jumping on the WW bandwagon with us.
We're all in this together. Let's do this and get those pesky pounds off!
Amy thanks for the honest entry...its a reality check for me who has got to my goal via WW - never stop worrying about portion size, burning the calories as the weight can come back before I know it.
Your entry has made me sit up once again - thanks!!
Am pleased you going to be doing this for yourself...
it's funny that WW gives us a lifetime membership when we reach our goal. But so, so, so many of us think that reaching goal is the end of the journey - but really it's the beginning. I'm a lifetime member and I'm back at it trying to get to goal again. Because I stopped and my portions got out of control.
WW gives us lifetime memberships cause it's a lifetime commitment. OK - that is more to convince me than you, but....
The awful confession for us to all make is that you are not alone. and you will have a ton of support.
It's never easy to confess Amy...you are awesome for that to start with!!!
It happens to the best, and you are proof (since you are pretty freaking awesome)...I have no doubt in my mind you will go balls to the wall and show us how it's done!!
*SMOOCHES*
You are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing =-)
I have to be honest: of all the blog posts lately, this one has inspired me the MOST.
I mean, I've been wowed by all of your crazy exercise and your delicious food pictures. But for you to post about this in such an honest way is what made me feel really motivated ALL day long.
You are SO going to kick butt.
I think your beautiful and amazing.
SO happy that you went back to what works-WW! :) Good job for confessing to us...you can do it! :)
OMG you are human like the rest of us after all! Don't take this the wrong way cos I dont mean it that way but you are my first ever 'blog-affair' and I'd come to assume you were just perfect and I am often jealous of your courage and food choices. So you've put on a few, guess what you lost a heck of a lot more...it's been done b4, no doubt the horse is still there and you can sure get back on it! In the meantime blame it on marriage it makes a lot of us put on those evil lbs!
You can do it! Looks like this is going to be a shrinking winter for lots of us.
Thanks for putting it all out there. I can relate to this post 100%. You can do it Amy, I know you will do it.
