Lose weight and get down to the right weight for me (which is losing 75+ lbs.)

It’s my own damned fault. Don’t know what’s wrong with me!!!!

A friend has invited me to join Weight Watchers with her. I’m going to do it. I need to make a commitment to myself and see if through. I don’t even know what good portions are anymore. I can’t seem to focus and stay on track. I think a good support group and having to check-in weekly will help greatly. Also, I need recipes to give me a clue where to start. There’s a WW class just up the road from my job so I’ve really got no excuse.

I have a treadmill gathering dust at home which I will start using. I have all the “tools” – I just need to get on board and commit myself to this.

I am annoyed with myself as I promised I’d lose weight in 2006. With 3 months to go, I haven’t a lot of time. I would love to be slimmer for Xmas. I won’t lose 75lbs by then but I could lose at least half of my excess weight.

I am so damned greedy! I need to FOCUS.

I have signed up to www.fitday.com so I can record my weight and keep a journal and monitor my food.

I never used to be like this. I guess because I’ve been kind of down these past few years I’ve just not been bothering with exercise and have been stuff myself with cakes in an effort to cheer up.

But things are getting a lot better for me. I’ve bagged a great job – temp to perm – and that’s giving me some stability. I’ve got a lot to look forward to.

I think I just need to believe I can DO THIS.

I’ve also noticed that post-35 it’s much harder to control weight. Not impossible of course, but it’s not the breeze it used to be.

In order words I haven’t lost a single pound and kept it off since I started this goal….......

Okay – by the end of 2006, I WILL be 75 pounds lighter. I cannot, WILL NOT be this overweight any longer. This is as big as I get. From now on, my weight will be going down…......

I am hoping that all the other things I want to do with my time will leave me with no “boredom eating time” which seems to be my undoing.

Best wishes to everyone with the same goal! :)
