Back on the Wagon!

When I was about 17 or so, I was very overweight, unhappy, and ready for a change. My mom introduced me to WeightWatchers, and for some reason, it ended up working! I stuck with it for about a year, and ended up losing close to 50lbs. I loved my new body, and I loved that I could go into almost any store I wanted, and find something right off the rack.

I've been off the program for five or six years now, and I've slowly gained all the weight back. I knew it was happening, I just didn't care to stop it. Now, I only have a few clothes that fit me, and I'm refusing to buy brand new clothes in these sizes. So, I'm back on the wagon. I went out this weekend and got all of the food I needed and bought a new exercise dvd. I'm hoping that I'll be at least half way to my goal weight by Christmas. I would like to lose 60lbs, but I'll be happy with just being back to the weight I was when I met Jeff.

I'm looking forward to feeling healthy again. Jeff and I would like to start a family sooner rather than later, and it will be better for me to lose the weight now instead of just adding baby weight on top of lazy weight. I've been on the program for three days now, and I'm hoping I can keep my optimism and excitment until this becomes a healthy habit.
