dealing/ weight loss

So I have been in a better mood for the most part over the last few days. Dealing with some stuff at home, but not letting it get me down and since most of it doesnt involve me I am doing my best to not worry about it and to take care of myself. Most of you who know me know I am very good at putting others needs before mine. Like for instance today my family is going to the Patriots training camp at 1:30. I am supposed to go to a 11:00 weight watchers meeting, in the past I would have just skipped my weight watchers meeting to make it easier on everyone else. But this week I told my family I was going to the 10:00 meeting instead and would be at my parents by 12. And of course my parents were completely fine with this. Working on my mindset that I dont need to do everything for everyone or be everywhere for everyone is going to be difficult. There have often been times when I feel like I have to be home every weekend to help my parents and often put that above my own needs. Now my dad has often said he doesnt want to interfere in my plans but that doesnt mean that I understand and get that right away. It really has taken till I am 27 to realize that it is ok if I say no. And I still dont always remember that. I guess my mom really instilled her sense of helping others into me, now I just need to balance that with taking care of myself. As I sit here this morning, I am actually a bit nervous about my weight watchers meeting today.I know I have been exercising more then I normally do even though not as much as I would have liked. I also know I have been tracking my food like I am supposed to, but for some reason my mind is convinced I will fail when I get to my weigh in today. Last time I did weightwatchers I lived at homee and could check my weight daily with my parents scale (which wasnt always a good thing) The not knowing is really bothering right now, I guess I will know in just under 2 hours. Not having a scale at home is kind of good for me because I have focused more on the trying to become fit again instead of on the number on the scale. Ok time for me to go get ready before my meeting. I will update everyone later on on how I did at my meeting but it probably wont be till later tonight since I am going to Patriots training camp with my mom this afternoon. Have a good weekend everyone!
