I'm going back to Weight Watchers tomorrow. I've got to lose the 40 pounds that I've gained over the past year. Actually, my current goal is to lose 30 pounds - I think it's more realistic for me. I may decide to lose that last 10, but that's a decision I'll make then, not now.
Don't know how well I'll do, but I can't do any worse than I have been. At least the husband has promised to go on it with me. He won't go to the meetings, but it's hard to be the only one on a diet when both of us need it.
It's hard to be on a diet at all. I need to start thinking of this as a lifestyle change, but that's easier said than done. I just hate being the one to stand out, the one saying no, I can't eat that cake/cookie/whatever. But then I realized that being so overweight makes me stand out even more and in a worse way. And I'm tired of defining myself as "fat." It's the only adjective I use when I describe myself. And I'm so much more than fat. It's just I don't see it under the 40 pounds.
So the weight has to go. It's not like I'm pregnant or anything as an excuse. I just eat too much and don't exercise enough. Time for a change.
Wish me luck.
