January 17th - WW aftermath In spite of my brain's best efforts to come up with all sorts of reasons (from the believable through to the truly ridiculous), I actually got my arse down to Weight Watchers and joined last night.  Unfortunately my scales are lighter than the WW ones, and of course I was also wearing clothes.  It wasn't too much of a shock though, I weighed in at 83.5kgs.  My goal weight is 65kgs which means (for those of you who don't like mental arithmetic) that I have 18.5kgs to get rid of.  I feel pretty ambivalent about the meeting, though.  I'm not sure if I will fit in, and I found the leader less than inspiring.  However, I am determined to perservere because (at the very least) handing over 16 bucks a week for the pleasure of being informed exactly how fat I am to the nearest 100gm increment feels like it could motivate me to stick to the program. Speaking of the program, it seems like a good program which is another reason to stick with it.  The points system is fairly simple and that makes it easier to stick with.  I will probably keep counting fat and calories though, because I'm one of those people who likes to be obsessional about counting things once I've decided it's important enough to do it. Happily, my obsessional nature has served me well over the last six days since I started this change.  I haven't had a single binge, and I've kept within my fat, calorie, and point budget each day. Let's see just how long this burst of motivation can last... <<Back     Home    Next>>
