I'm having such a hard time deciding how to title this post....
We All Have Our Issues....Mine's Just Obvious
How Did It Get This Out of Control?
Again....
This Is It!
Can I Do It This Time?
Get This Overweight Person Off My Back!
I kind of like the last one....I've thought about that a lot recently. I started Weight Watchers AGAIN on January 31st. I had toyed with the idea for a couple of months and finally decided to do it. The first time I joined, I was twelve years old.....yes, twelve. I think I needed to lose maybe 20 lbs? The last time I joined, I was in California eight years ago. I didn't have a good mindset about it at that time...I wasn't committed and didn't stick with it.
Well, things are drastically different this time. Instead of 20 pounds, I have about 200 pounds to lose. Yes, you read that right...200. And this time, I'm committed to at least 100 weeks of Weight Watchers. (Given the fact that 1-2 lbs. a week is a healthy weight loss and I need to lose 200 lbs.)
Believe me, it's not easy writing this blog. Not easy to let the whole internet world know about the craziness that is my out of control my food intake and lack of exercise. I wanted to write this post (and continue writing during this 100 week journey) so that I have a "diary" to refer back to when things are difficult. I also want to try to convey my thoughts and feelings in a way that I can help others now or in the future as they struggle in the same way. Lastly, I love blogging and wanted to be honest about my life and what is on my mind.
So, I started this journey January 31, 2012. I am 2 1/2 weeks in. I have lost 8.8 pounds. So, that means I have 97 1/2 weeks and 191.2 pounds to go.
I haven't exercised this week because I've had a HORRIBLE cold. I have stayed within the guide lines WW sets for weekly food intake. So, I don't know how that will effect my weight loss this week. Now that I've broken through the "do-I-want-everyone-to-know" barrier, I'll keep you updated.
I'm still unsure how to title this post....

Stephanie, you totally inspire me. It's really brave to blog about this sort of thing, and I understand that completely. My mom and I both need to lose a serious amount of weight (she needs to so she can get off her diabetes meds, I need to so I don't develope it early) and it's nice to know someone else is doing it too. :)
If you can lose two pounds a week, I think maybe I can too. :D I'm pulling for you!!!
