Weight Watchers Afterall

After weeks of inactivity and non-action in the quest to lose weight I joined Weight Watchers. A lack of enthusiasm for vegetables and a craving for anything bread is not a good combination to keeping the weight within a healthy range. I thought I might do it alone through the USDA website containing the food pyramid. I knew I was gaining weight when, each morning after waking up, I would shuffle like an old woman to the bathroom. The decision to join Weight Watchers came after stepping on the scale at my doctor's office during my annual physical. The lab results from my physical came back surprisingly good considering that I am 63 pounds overweight. The enormity of that number did not send me into a depressing spiral, as in the past, but actually was the cause to jumpstart this journey with WW. I've attended two meetings and have lost 7.6 pounds; 2 of which was the sweatshirt I wore in the first meeting but not in the second; 3 of which was probably water flushing out of my system; and 2.6 could have been actual fat. Regardless of the makeup of the weight loss, it remains a loss. Right now the weather is turning nice and fresh vegetables from my dad's garden are on their way. I need to work on embracing those vegetables and cut back on the bread, and I do mean cut back. There would be no way I would ever survive on the Atkins diet. Tata for now.
