Muffin Tops and Over-Stuffed Sausage Links



Ever have days when you feel like this? Well I do, and today was one of them.

K made salmon with some kind of lemon sauce and brown rice (which was delicious) last night, and then we worked up a sweat playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution). My plan today was to wake up and go to a work out class- I had my clothes and lunch for today already made and laid out- but didn't even hear my alarm go off! So, I'll have to go to the gym tonight instead.

Anyway, I put on the jeans that I had laid out for today and felt like the picture above. I tried using a slimming top to help the muffin top problem, but the slimming top was too small and it just made me look pregnant- which I'm most definitely not! I put my shirt on and a large cardigan-like thing, and it just looked awful. My self-esteem was super low at that point and I was running late for work... Having only three pairs of non-yoga pants that fit, I quickly struggled to find something better to wear. I ended up in an outfit that I'm fairly pleased with, but the feeling of being an overstuffed sausage link doesn't just go away.

I'm doing okay on Weight Watchers - following the points pretty well- and still I FEEL like I'm gaining weight. I suppose I just need to trust in the plan and tracking, and maybe attribute the feeling to water weight or bloating and trying to put on a pair of pants about 10 pounds too soon...

Stick to what you know fits!
