I just had my 7th weigh-in w/ Weight Watchers and I am SLOWLY seeing some progress. I have lost a total of 5.2 lbs since starting WW on April 17, 2010. I am fortunate enough to have my mom to go to my meetings with, she has been a WW members the entire time I've been on this earth and maybe longer, I can't remember.
She will argue with me about this, but I feel like I'm overweight partially because of her. I'm by no means blaming her because after all, I put the food in my mouth, not my mother. But I remember as a teenager (most likely around the time I was having my growth spurts/ going through puberty) her trying to tell me that I wasn't eating healthy. I know it was because she loved me especially since she has struggled with weight her entire life and she never wanted to see me live my life the same as she has. But secretly, her trying to tell me the truth, was more reason to eat another handful of chips or another scoop of rainbow chip cake frosting (straight out of the container) just so I could be rebellious, I mean, after all I was a teenager.
By no means have I ever been fat in my life and everyone has told me that I certainly do not look like I weighed 184.8 lbs. (the weight I started WW at, I am now 179.6 lbs.) nor could they imagine that I wore a size 14 in jeans. But also, by no means, have I EVER been skinny. Even at my smallest two years ago, in the Spring of 2008, I weighed 145 lbs. (weighed my heaviest then in Fall 2007 @ about 160 and lost 20 lbs. due to some depression and dieting) but I was still an ample jean size 10.
Sorry this is a zig-zag story right now... haha
My goal is to get down to 135 lbs, which I obviously know is a do-able weight since I was almost there 2 years ago. I want to use this to hold myself accountable for what I'm doing with my weight loss journey. With the help of my kick-boxing & fitness boot camp that I'm doing this summer, tracking my eating/ activity, and this blog... I WILL lose the weight with being down to 135 by April 17th, 2011. (Hopefully sooner)
