Weight Loss Motivated

I was always the skinny girl.  In high school I didnt even weigh 100 lbs.  In undergrad, I was the 5'6 1/2" bombshell - weighing 115 pounds and garnering all the male attention I needed to keep my ego bigger....than my butt, lol.

Then, graduation happened.  Something about not walking the sloping hills and verdant green along with no terrible cafeteria food, made me start to balloon.

I took a year off in between undergrad and grad school.  When grad school started it was constant class/studying etc....and no time for exercising.  However, the soon-to-be-hubby was so good at carrying me snacks to keep me encouraged, motivated and energized......and gaining weight.  I didnt realize that I was gaining weight.  I just all of a sudden preferred to wear sweats all the time.  One day, the hubby - was like, "im tired of seeing you in sweats all the time, put on a nice outfit for me".....all of my jeans were too tight....I guess thats why I wasnt wearing them.

So I bought new jeans....and didnt lose any weight....

Skip forward to now....I'm again preferring sweat pants...I didnt even subconsciously realize that I was gaining even MORE weight than before... My sister came to visit me for the holidays - and she suggested that I try Weight Watchers - because it works.

I never considered a "program" before.  "Programs" are for fat people....thats not me.  Then every 10 seconds, a Jennifer Hudson commercial is coming on, and i'm giving it more thought....I wanna be skinny like Jennifer Hudson, maybe Weight Watchers can help me....  I jump on the scale - something I havent done in ages.... 188 lbs...I've never been this fat before.  So I decided that THIS TIME, I will be for real about my weight loss, eating right and exercising.  Today is Jan 6th, and i've exercised for 5 days straight M-F.   I've never done that before (since when i was an athlete in high school).  So today, I decided to research a little bit more about this Weight Watchers thing.  I did their online assessment...and guess what....I'm obese....im not fat, i'm obese, lol.  So I guess this "Program" could be for me, lol.

So, I think that I'm gonna join weight watchers.  Its time to lose the weight.  Its time to be a new me!  Wish me luck!
