Sister, I'm proud of you for picking this back up. It ain't easy.You know what else ain't easy? Getting in shape. It's so easy to be distracted by tasty, yummy, delicious food. It's equally as easy to come up with excuses not to work out. As many reasons as there are to eat well and live a healthy lifestyle, there are 10 times as many excuses not to. Most of them are deep-fried or dipped in chocolate.
In September I decided I'd hit a wall and needed to take action to get my health under control. Never mind the fact that I didn't really like the gal I saw in the mirror, all of the health problems that run in our family mean that we have to fight extra hard to avoid the piles of pills that our parents and grandparents have to deal with.
So, I started going to Weight Watchers meetings. I know they're not for everyone, but they've been a God-send for me. My first weigh-in was October 8, 2009. I'm now 27 weeks in, and I'm 12.2 pounds away from my goal weight. I can't lie, it's not always easy to keep that goal in sight, but I'm slowly doing it. The end is near! I know I still have a little ways to go, but I feel happier, healthier & more confident in myself than I have in a long time. Here's a little snapshot of the journey I've been on the last 27 weeks:
Pretty, isn't it?
