| Introduction | Like many others, I have always struggled with my weight. During 2008, I went to Cedar Point with friends and I couldn’t buckle the seatbelt. The rollercoaster operator told me that if the seatbelt didn’t fasten than I couldn’t ride. I was humiliated and embarrassed. So on January 3, 2009, I went to Weight Watchers. I weighed in at 260 pounds. As of this date (8/28/2010), I have lost a total of 100.2 pounds. I’ve faithfully attended my weekly meetings at 7:30 AM every Saturday. I am committed to tracking. Every Sunday, I write down what I am going to eat for the week. By doing this, I am planning ahead and can make my grocery list from the plan. Portion control has also been a secret to my success. I no longer eat like a lumberjack! To be accountable, I post my results on my Facebook page and now I will post on this blog. I have to laugh that my youngest son introduces me to his friends as, “This is my Mom. She is a Weight Watcher.” I am proud to be a Weight Watcher and this journey is not over. This is a life long commitment to be healthy and something that I am doing for myself because I deserve it. |
