Here we go...

So I already suck at blogging. I think my last (first) post was almost a week ago. Whatevs... So on Wednesday at my Weight Watchers meeting I weighed in 1.8 pounds less. Whew! I finally got batteries for the scale so I don't spend the day of my weigh in surviving on 18 almonds, a cocopop (rice cake type thing)
and ice cubes. I get so nervous on weigh in days. I don't know why though. I am meticulous when it comes to tracking myself. Every single little bite gets recorded. And I've finally stopped hoarding my Weekly Points. When I was on WW (I am already sick of typing "Weight Watcher" THERE! That's the last one) anyways, the first few times I was on WW I used to never use any of my extra weekly points. I figured I would lose more weight if I never ever used them. And I never used any butter or oil, never ate any ice cream or fast food or candy. Seriously, I was a freak. So it's no wonder I could never stick to it. Now on the new program I have like double the points in conjunction with actually using the Weekly Points and actually tracking my Fitness. I'm actually exercising now... THAT'S another difference. More on that later. But I haven't changed any of my cooking, I still use butter and olive oil; I just measure now. I measure my portions for once, and it seems to be working. So I shouldn't worry so much when I go to weigh in. Especially a day early (another thing I hated. Like how much more weight could I really use in one day) So I never used to find a different meeting if I was going to miss one. But tomorrow I am going a meeting different from my regular one for the first time. We shall see tomorrow night. Okay. Bye bye.

First is worst...

First off I am going to warn you. This is a weight loss blog. Yup, another fat girl whining about how hard it is to lose weight. Sorry. Don't worry, I've got plenty of other stuff to bitch about... I also don't know if I am a very good writer (wow, I'm selling the hell out of this blog. It's cool because I know no one is reading ha!) So I've chosen Weight Watchers. The reason, honestly, because my job offered to pay for half if I attend 85% of meetings. Not just me (god! Could you imagine!?) but they opened it up to all employees and a group of us are going for it. Which I really have to say is the best thing to do, do it as a group. It's cool because we meet right at work; there's no excuse not to go to the meetings. Also since we work in a grocery store you will totally get busted if you try and buy junk food. That and Jennifer Hudson looks smokin! I wanna be a weight watchers success story.

Week one I lost 2.6 pounds, which is awesome but it's a teeny tiny start. There is still a long way to go. I have to change my entire lifestye. My goal is to look like hot shit at this wedding I am going to be next May... I worked as an assistant to a wedding photographer for seven years... I DON'T WANT TO BE THE FAT BRIDESMAID! That honestly is my 100% true reason. I will tell you a bunch of bullshit about being healthy but I have been fat forever! I am so ready to be at least less fat. I really feel different about it this time. I know I sound like a junkie trying to quit... So with my 2.6 lb head start I am off to my probably seventh "serious" attempt at weight loss. Likely my fourth attempt at weight watchers. My first (and hopefully only) attempt with the new points plus.

So that's that. Hopefully I will be diciplined enough to write everyday unlike every other blog/diary/journal I've written in the last eighteen years or so. Peace til then!
