First Day of Weight Watchers

February 5, 2012

Disclaimer:

I really had to swallow my pride when it came to posting these pictures and admitting to the weight that is posted.

Beginning weight :

245 lbs

Here's the story:

Since I was married almost two years ago, I have been VERY opposed to having any kind of pictures taken of me. Against my better judgment, I was talked into being in family pictures which were taken around Thanksgiving of 2011. To say I was disgusted and appalled at the outcome would be a understatement. I did not know how much I had let myself go until I saw it on the photographs. 

I told myself that I HAD TO DO SOMETHING!! 

I couldn't live like this anymore. 

I wanted to like myself again. 

So, starting in December, I started eating better. My starting weight at that time was 250 lbs. I began seeing small results, but I couldn't stick with it. That is the story of my life. I will start something and then get discouraged or distracted and not be able to continue. I started talking to Shon and my friends about Weight Watchers and came to the decision that I should try it. So I signed up on February 2, 2012. 

I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical about being successful on this program because of my previous failures, but at the same time, I was excited to begin something new! I have been on the program now for just about 4 weeks now and I have dropped to 235 lbs. It's not a ton, but it is exciting to see the results. It hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be, which is very motivating!

I plan on taking new pictures around the 2nd of March and I will try to post new pictures monthly until I am at my goal weight! Which I hope will be but the end of the year!! 

So, I was wondering if anyone else has tried the Weight Watchers program and who might have had success stories or any words of wisdom for me. It's been a long road and I have finally found something that will help me get my life in order and perhaps help my self-esteem be reinstated. 

I know I still have a ways to go, but as I continue to see results and receive support from friends and family, I know I will be more and more successful. 

Thank you all for listening and I hope to be able to post more success stories on this blog in the following months! :)
