So today marks my two week mark with weight watchers.

I have never tried to lose weight. I never even dreamed that I COULD lose weight. I don’t know if I had an attitude about Weight Watcher’s but I always thought it just wasn’t for me. Before the very day that I decided to join, I had never once considered any kind of weight loss program.

I had a few friends who were doing it. I would hear their stories and hear them talking about points and would just think to myself…why bother? It’s too much hard work and I’m such a fussy eater. It would never work for me.

Now, two weeks in? It’s totally for me. I’m doing really well. I’ve not gone over my points allowance once since I started. What’s more is, I have points left over on most days. But I am totally satisfied with the better choices I have been making.

We haven’t bought coke in two weeks. Everyone who knows me will know what a MASSIVE thing this is. We would normally buy one, some times two slabs of coke per week. And though Tim tried his hardest to keep up with me, it was me drinking the majority. I would sometimes have 4 or 5 cans a DAY!! Now?? I barely have three mouthful’s. I haven’t given it up. But I have certainly cut down. I have see the light, and now make my choice each day if I am going to have any.

I’m totally surprised with it all. At my meeting last week some of the woman and men discussed how hard they found it to stay away from the things that they enjoy. I really don’t know why but for me it hasn’t been a problem at all. Perhaps because I’ve been this way for so long and finally reached that point where I can’t just do nothing. Perhaps it is easier when you’re desperate for that change??

At any rate, I am so proud of myself. Each day I feel better and better about the effort I make. Today, the day I had been waiting for. Waiting for someone I know to say “Wow, have you lost weight?” Why yes! I have! Not just one friend but TWO friends noticed.

Such a change to the “Are you pregnant?” questions.
