All week long I’ve been feeling like utter rubbish and I know it’s because of my rotund-ish state. So I broke out the plastic and joined Weight Watchers online. My weight loss experience deserves a blog, so here it is.
FYI..I’m 30, divorced, and have two cats. Pretty much sounds typical for something like this. But the honest truth is that my life is great! I have a good job with more responsibility than I probably deserve and where people listen to me and respect my opinions. I have a great family (minus the ocassional dramatic moments, often spurred by political matters). I have some fantastic friends (that are all skinny as a Festivus Pole). And to top things off, I’m writing my first novel, which is coming along splendidly.
About the weight…
I’ve never been a skinny girl. That’s just a fact. But I have been healthier and I’d love to get back to that point. I want to be able to go on a simple hike, or walk around the mall without feeling like I’m wading through a sandy beach with flippers on.
I should probably also tell you that this isn’t my first time doing Weight Watchers. I’m not going to lie…it’s been successful in the past, but I got back on the cookie wagon and munched my way back to the original weight. I can’t guarantee that I’m going to be successful, but I’m sure going to try this time around. Thankfully, I have a friend to do it with too. A friend that I happen to eat most of my meals with. Maybe this time around it will stick. And trust me, both of us need it to stick!
Coming soon! Before pictures, mid-rotund-ish.

The only thing wrong with this post is the part where you said you can’t guarantee it will be successful. I really believe that positive thinking and visualizing success are key parts of a journey like this. When you say you aren’t sure, then you are giving yourself and opportunity to fail. Stay positive!
I too have done WW before. Back in the mid-80′s after my second child was born, and again online about 5 years ago. I just re-joined today because I can’t stand the way I look and feel any longer.
Good luck!
