Shedding The Weight, I Hope!!

Well I recently started Weight Watchers!! I had to do something because I just kept gaining weight. It's amazing how that happens when you eat whatever you want isn't it!! Why does food have to be so good? Anyway I am a few days into it now and so far so good. It's not as hard as I thought it would be. I definitely have to think ahead about the day and what I am going to be eating for meals and snacks. I find that I don't hate doing that as much as I thought I would. It really makes me take mind of what I am putting in my mouth and how healthy/unhealthy I am eating. My goal is to loose 36 pounds and that will put me at what I was when Shawn and I got married. If I can loose more then that I will but I would be happy with 36 pounds. I know that doesn't seem like much to a lot of you but it is my mountain to climb. I am determined to get to the top of that mountain and slid gleefully down the other side into a vat of chocolate!! Just kidding. I wish! It has never been easy for me to loose weight but always easy to gain it. I hate how that works. I am very determined right not though. It is tough when you are married to a man who can eat what ever and how ever much of anything he wants and doesn't gain from it. Early in our marriage I always tried to keep weight off because I knew Shawn was trim, skinny, and had and incredible metabolism. Great for him but not so much for me. I just didn't want to let myself go and gain a ton of weight and be three times the size of my husband. It was not something I personally wanted for myself. After having three children and doing to much stress eating in the past five years I have realized if I didn't get back to that mind set from when we were first married I would be three times the size of my husband. So I am working hard to loose weight and get back to that mind set. Although I did tell Shawn that when, not if, but when I loose this weight I am going shopping and buying myself and, "yeah I lost it all" outfit that I will feel fabulous in. Anyway I have lost one pound in three days and am hoping by weigh in next week I will have lost two pounds. We shall see. I will keep you all updated and you all hold me accountable so I loose, loose, loose. Ape
