This and That

There is something that I have not been sharing with all of you. I think I just wanted to get my head around it before I said too much. But, now, here it is!

I'm going to Weight Watchers! I am happy to announce that I have now lost 25.4 pounds!! What a wonderful thing.

Weight Watchers, in case you don't know, is a program that works! (if you do, of course.) I had been trying to at least keep my weight from increasing but it was a constant up and down, with 10 pounds coming and going. I got tired of that routine so I discussed the matter with my Sweetie and asked if he wanted to change his eating habits as I changed mine. He admitted he had gained a good bit of weight, also, and thought it would be a good idea. So, I signed up and have been going for about 18 weeks. Basically, I don't think of it as a temporary diet, but as a change of habits. I had developed some bad habits and just couldn't let go of them on my own.
Somehow, having to be accountable every week, and having the encouragement of my team leader and fellow dieters, the program is working! Sweetie has lost even more than I have, but men seem to have that advantage. Doesn't seem fair! Anyway, I decided that I would share this news with all of you -- I'm shrinking!
