I have travelled this road many times but have allowed myself to fall off the wagon. As a lifetime member of Weight Watchers since 1997...I know what to do, I attend all the WW meetings (most of them anyway) but I always end up getting lazy and slipping up. I have trained my children to be healthy and they follow what I have taught - my husband knows whats healthy (he doesn't always follow but that shouldn't stop me)
I look at pictures of myself and wonder - what the heck? I am aging too much; only to realize I look that way because I have too much weight on.
I look back over the years and laugh at myself as I thought I was fat back then when I was a size 8/9 (apparently now known as a size 2/3)
I am back tracking, I have a fantastic support group online and at meetings, my family is fairly supportive too. So why can't I do this and keep it off? Why do I get lazy and let myself fall apart again and again? I can't answer that. Or maybe its cause I don't want to answer that - it will dredge up things that I don't want to think about. So with that said I am trying a different route. I will make this public - face up to reality -stop hiding behind a screen...
So here I am FULL size as of todays date September 24, 2008 at 171.8 lbs for all to see - and here I pledge to get healthy.
