I've had my share with ups and downs...well with weight, that is. It's strange; growing up I was called string bean and toothpick and hated it. Now I would love to be called something even close to that! It's like all of a sudden, when puberty hit (late of course) all the weight I never gained as a child came flying on.
I've tried a lot of different diets over the years with the most prominent one being weight watchers. It actually worked for awhile, but being the emotional eater than I am, I gained all of my weight back and then some when my grandmother passed away a few years ago. Since then it's been creeping back pound by pound and all I've done is sit and watch it happen.
I'm not sure when I officially decided it was time to try again, but I know it all started with thinking about my grandmother. If she was still alive, she'd probably take one look at me and shake her head. She would never have wanted to be the reason I was becomming this way. In fact, she was always the one encouraging me when I had lost weight in the past. Even if it was just a pound that I'd lost she'd tell me how great I looked.
Well this time I'm not just doing it for me, I'm doing it for her too. Hopefully that will help me get the motivation I need to lost the weight and keep it off. I could have gone back to weight watchers and tried again, but that seemed like same old same old to me. I needed something new to kickoff this healthy lifestyle change, so I am turning to Jenny Craig. I've heard from a few people in the past that it was a good experience and the food wasn't terrible either. I'm just worried about what will happen when I go out to eat with friends or to a happy hour or a party.
Well just see what happens. It's all or nothing this time! 50 pounds to go! Wish me luck!
