Losing Weight

As I said a few posts ago, it's time to do something about my weight. Or at least try something new. I actually eat fairly healthy food, but my exercise routine has gone down the tubes with being so busy. And I have to say that when I get on the scale and my weight is the same or worse, it definitely leads to the occasional binge in the cookie dough. I got on the scale last week and saw a weight that basically made me gasp. It's only 2 pounds more than usual, but it's 2 pounds over my, "I will absolutely never pass this weight" mark. It hit me pretty hard and I was really irritable and kinda depressed for a few days. I feel stuck- there's simply no time for a regular gym routine. So it's time to try something new.

I'm usually a pretty private person, so this is sharing a lot for me. So no funny comments, k? I signed up for weight watchers today. If you know me well, then you know I'm reaching for options with this. I've always been one to just go to the gym and take care of the weight. But since that's not an option, weight watchers it is. I have 3 or 4 friends that are finding success on it so I figure it's worth a try. Frankly, if 3 or 4 people told me standing on my head was helping, I'd do that too at this point. I've thought about joining for awhile but I think I didn't want to admit that I need to officially "diet".

So far it's been going well (I just joined Wednesday night). I lost a couple pounds the first 2 days, which must be water weight or something. Oh, and I've been starving. I am really hoping this works. I just want to get through the next 9 weeks until school is over and I can fit in a regular workout again.
