I weighed in yesterday with a 2 pound weight gain since 12/4/07.  I knew I had gained because I haven’t been following the plan for the last couple of weeks.  I was happy that I didn’t gain more than I did.

 I’m making my shopping list and going to the grocery store today.  I’ll start in the morning. 

 I’ve been thinking about what goals I want to set for my weight loss and for the coming year.  

My first wl goal is to meet my 10%.  Now how do I do that?  I know I need to journal and drink my water every day.  I struggle with these.  I’ll do well for a few days and then get off track.  Maybe blogging will help me be more accountable. 

This is my first post and the beginning of my weight loss journey. I hope that I can stay the course and find my destination in 2008.

How did I get here? That is what I keep asking myself. I know it didn’t happen overnight but slowly over that past few years.

I am still a thin person on the inside and think of myself that way until I look in a mirror. Seems like I avoid looking in mirrors more and more.

Just yesterday I was in an elevator that had mirrors on both sides. I don’t recognize myself anymore.

I have been doing some research on lap band surgery, but since my insurance won’t pay for it I can’t justify getting a loan for $16,0000. Plus I’m not sure I would want to deal with the fills, etc. I would much rather lose the weight on my own, and use the money for a tummy tuck…

So I’m going to try Weight Watchers again. I have tried every other diet with no success.. But I was successful on WW several years ago… and I know it works.
