Weight Watchers


I know you're going to think that I'm all over the map when I tell you, I joined Weight Watchers tonight. Yes I did. I was reading some of my old journals and I noticed something. While some of the journal entries were over 7 years old it seemed like all I did was complain about the following over and over:
1. How I was tired of being fat
2. How I planned on losing weigh this time
3. How my husband doesn't understand me and I constantly droned on about one thing or another regarding who he is as a person.
4. How I want to work for myself.

Fast forward 7 years...not much has changed. No matter where you go there you are. Well I'm really ready for a change. I'm tired of complaining yet not doing anything about it.

Last year I was a bit put off by weight watchers because I signed up for 4 weeks and walked away 5 pounds heavier at the end of those weeks. I said "I'd be damned if I'm going PAY weight watchers to GAIN WEIGHT!"

So this year I'm going to STOP obsessing over losing weight and just focus on living a healthier lifestyle. And that means not beating myself up inside because I had a bite of this or that or I didn't do an exercise or whatever.

I feel that doing weight weight watchers will help me stick to a plan while having a variety of foods. One thing that Atkins doesn't do. I can no longer do Atkins because I lost a significant amount of hair and I didn't have much to begin with.

I will let you know how my weigh in goes next Tuesday night.

Questions of the day:
1. Are you doing weight watchers? If so how is journey going? Have you won any awards?
2. If you aren't doing weight watchers what are you doing and why did you choose that weight loss plan?

  1. Good for you! I'm doing Weight Watchers, and I love it. The biggest deal for me, is making sure I eat enough - which might seem at odds with why I'm there, but there you have it. I've lost over 30 pounds so far, and could say I'd lost more, if I hadn't bucked the system at the outset.

  2. Congrats on losing 30 pounds!!! Right now I'm focusing on losing 10 pounds. I figured baby steps will slowly get me to my goal. I've gotta work on meal planning and avoiding the processed stuff. I get 34 points so I'm sure I will get enough to eat...at least I hope! LOL Good luck on your journey!
