Joining Weight Watchers
I decided to start this blog because I find the Weight Watchers experience hilarious and hideous at the same time.
A little aboutme. I'm a short, fat girl from Long Island who lives in Brooklyn, NY. I have had a weight problem forever but it really began in college. I lost about 50 pounds 14 years ago (on Weight Watchers) but it didn't stay off because a) Weight Watchers sucked back then so I spent a year hungry; and b0 I didn't change my eating habits.
I like to eat. I like to eat until I'm overfull, but that's baaad and I am learning.
I joined Weight Watchers again the day after my 39th birthday cause I don't want to be fat forever. I go to the gym regularly but I never lost any weight. That's because I ate too much.
My sister is also an inspiration. She has 4 kids and she got her shit together and joined WW and as of this week has changed her life and lost 43 pounds. She looks fan fuckin tastic!
So that's my story. But the funny stories are the stories of the group. For those of you who have gone to some type of 12 step group or other self help group, WW is exactly the same except the person you most hurt is yourself. I haven't heard of somebody being pulled over while driving under the influence of yodels, but I know the sugar makes you high so who knows it could have happened.
So now I am in week 4 and I have lost 8.2 pounds. And all I want to do is eat.
