I want this day to be written down somewhere. Because today is the last time I will step on a scale and see the number I saw tonight at Weight Watchers. If there hadn't been other people in the room, I think I would have curled up into a ball and started to cry. However, I swallowed what little pride had left and joined Lori in the meeting room. As Liz, the WW leader, spoke, I started to get more excited about doing the program again.
Before I went in tonight, while waiting for Lori, I pulled out my old weight book. When someone joins WW, they get a book which tracks their weight each week, whether good or bad. I started that book in September and stopped going in mid-November. Now while I realize that is when I was going through my FET cycle, I really am disappointed that I stopped in mid-November.
But no longer. As I've heard in Weight Watcher's advertisements, which seem to be flooding both on radio and TV, today (Thursday, January 10, 2008) is the day I have "Stopped dieting and started living". What is going to make THIS time work is that I realize WW is not a diet...it is a way of life that I am ready to live.
So goodbye weight that I never want to see or know ever again. Hello to my new way of thinking and living...

Yay Kristen! You can do it!! :)
Way to go, Kristen. You've taken the first biggest step in recognizing the need to be healthy, and happy! Love you so much, Mom xoxox
You can do it! Go Kristen!
You're totally right... it is a lifestyle and not a diet. You'll get so used to it that it'll be second nature! Did you decide if you are going to do the post-it note trick? :) Love you! (and I don't know what happened to the first time that I posted this... oh well!)
Way to go YOU! We are going to be healthy women together!
I wanted to let you know that your blog inspired me to get up off my butt and exercise. I'm also trying to lose weight and to live a healthy lifestyle (it's SO hard). Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you for being so open with your blog. As a fellow writer, it takes guts to get it out where the world can see it. But it feels SO good sometimes. I'll be counting WW points with you this week as I'm back on the wagon too. Just remember that this week will be stressful, but we;ve got each other, so let's agree to stay away from the temptations of the office, ok? :)
