Four Times and Counting ...

Well, I've sucked it up yet again and I'm going back to Weight Watchers. Yes, this will be my FOURTH time in a WW group. I've been an online member for awhile, and it's a great website, but I feel I need to be "accountable" to an actual PERSON every week, not a computer. Back to the accountability thing AGAIN. Why can't I be accountable to myself? Tried that ... I keep saying "I can do this by myself" but it's so easy to just say "ah, what the heck" and another day slips by ... which leads to a week, which leads to a month. I'm down 5 pounds since I've started this whole blogging thing ... yup a whole 5 POUNDS ... shout it out, FIVE WHOLE FRIGGIN POUNDS. Am I proud of that? I'm sure you've guessed NO. I guess I can look at it that I didn't gain that 5 pounds at least.

I'm in the process of a complete lifestyle change as I stated in a recent blog. I researched and found some amazing information on Fibromyalgia and weight loss that tie in amazingly together. So slowly I'm making these changes ... it's just not enough quite yet to see the scale moving downward, but I know it takes time.

This food thing is an addiction, I know that. And an awful habit that's INCREDIBLY hard to break. I grew up this way!! A friend has sent along some amazing links to me about "Overeaters Annoymous" (thanks John!) and the stories of people who speak of their situations in this site are so similar to my situation. Obsessed with food. Eating without even realizing what they've eaten or what they've put in their mouth. Junk food addicts. Triple-triple coffee addicts (glad I'm not one of those!) So many people out there with the same issue I have ... it's overwhelming when you realize the statistics. Admitting we have a problem and taking the steps to deal with it, the best way we know how, is all we can do to make steps in a positive direction and overcome this obsession with food.

So back again I go ... one of Weight Watcher's biggest supporters and one big reason why they've stayed in business over the years ...
