Weight Watchers

This blog is in part is about my weight loss journey, so I thought I needed to write about my struggle with losing weight. After years of yo-yo dieting, which did nothing BUT put weight on, I finally decided I needed help to get the weight off. I have tried many diets out there, Atkins, Dr. Oz's, many of those diets that say you can eat only certain foods and they have all failed. They failed me because they told me what I could eat and what I couldn't eat. I like food and being restricted from my favorites only made me want them more. Seeing a number on the scales that was horrifying to me, I knew I needed to do something drastic. Drastic for me is to pay someone to teach me and help me lose weight. I was told by my gynecologist after the birth of my youngest that Weight Watchers would help me the most to lose my pregnancy weight. But at the time, I wasn't willing to spend money to lose weight. I thought I knew how to. Nine weeks on Weight Watchers has taught me I knew very little on what food choices was good and what was not so good.

So how did I finally decide to join WW? A friend of mine on Facebook joined and was doing good. She had lost a good amount of weight and was keeping at it. I then decided to look into WW. Everyone I talked with told me stories of how they knew someone who had lost weight and kept it off. I realized that this program might actually work for me. I talked with my hubby and he said lets give it a three month trial period. If I lose weight, then I will keep it up, if I don't lose, then I try something else. Well I am in my 10th week with WW, and I am loving it. I love how I don't feel deprived. I can eat what I want, even bad foods like Pizza Hut pizza, but there are consequences for my bad choices. I can see those consequences because I have less points to use which means less choices of food for me. But the good thing is WW realizes that at times we want those foods that are not that good for us and gives splurge points. I am so thankful for my splurge points. It has helped me enjoy holidays like Christmas and good times like last night's BCS Championship game. I am a person that when I find a good thing I like to tell everyone about it. If you are a person who needs to lose weight, I would seriously consider giving WW a shot. It might just be the best thing you have ever done.
