Back to Weight Watchers

Yesterday was my first weigh in at WW – and there was the proof. I gained back all the weight I lost in the fast I did 5 years ago! I was afraid I stumbled back into the 200s, but I did not want to admit it. 207 lbs. Ugh… I spent over 20 years being over 200. I hate it! But, I refuse to let it get me down. I know that it is so common to regain – especially losing it the way I did. I’m not the 1^st person this has happened. I’ve done it before and I KNOW I can do it again. I feel like I’ve been on a slippery slope for 5 years, but I’ve finally dug in to stop. It was painful yesterday, but today is a new day. I’m more motivated than ever to get back to a healthy weight – the RIGHT way!

I walked into the WW office to see the same people working… the guy with the box of cards, the receptionist, and the leader. I said, ‘ I’m back! It’s been 2 years, but I’m back!’ They were so nice. Totally welcomed me. I weighed in (ugh) and sat through the meeting. Stayed after to learn the Points Plus program. I left just as they were rolling this out in 2010, so I needed to catch up. My first goal is to get back to ‘onederland’ as they call it on The Biggest Loser. 10lbs by the time I go to Dallas for the Monster Tri on 10/21. Then I want to lose another 10lbs by the Thanksgiving Tri on 11/22. I realize this is aggressive, but I want to wipe out the 20lbs I gained in the last 2 years as soon as possible. I know it will be somewhat fast at first and then will slow down. That’s OK. I know it will take a year to get where I want to be. I’m motivated, dedicated, and prepared to get there!
