Simply Cintia: The next 10

What a tough week. Still, I was very grateful to reach my 30 lb weight loss goal.

This was also the week I went back to in-person workshops. Being able to see my coach and my fellow WW friends did my heart good. They helped me celebrate my WW goal.

When my coach asked me how I did it, I said, "I just told myself not to give up. I started in 2017 and I still have a while to go but I won't give up."

It was so good to see people. The virtual workshops were very helpful but having people close to you to encourage you means the world.

Now that I told you about the results, let me tell you what it took. This last week, we had a holiday and a very special celebration: my 15-year wedding anniversary. My plan was to be prepared to make the best choices every day. My plan was to also rest enough each night so I could make good choices.

My anniversary was dreamy. We went to a restaurant and we really enjoyed our time together. The food was so good. I tracked everything I ate. I ate until I was lightly satisfied.

We grilled during the holiday. Again, I ate until I was lightly satisfied and I tracked my food. I have been focusing on tracking daily.

I had to manage quite a bit of stress too. Thank God, I was able to manage it without resorting to food. I journaled quite a bit. I also prayed and asked God to help me. God really does hear us when we pray and seek guidance. Today, I feel much better than before, thanks to my good God.

My family in Brazil suffered a big loss. One of my cousins passed away from COVID-19. Needless to say we are very sad. We are praying for comfort and strength.

Losing a loved one is always very difficult. Somehow, I know that God is good and He has a plan.

Seeing that landmark weight loss and seeing my friends from WW was very encouraging.

I actually thought about how I can encourage my friends to take charge of their health journeys and join WW. I've been extending an invitation on social to my friends so they can join us. I have a special code if you want to try it. It will give you a free month with WW.

All I can say is that WW has allowed me to take control of my health permanently. I feel better. Even in tough seasons, I am grateful to God for health to live each day for Him and to care for my family.

I'm ready to conquer the next 10 pounds. Let's do it!
