A Renewed Effort...

So it's obviously been quite some time since I've blogged about my weight. The truth is, I wasn't having much luck at it on my own. Even after blogging to let everyone know my intentions and trying create more accountability for myself I still struggled....a lot. And while I had a walking partner for a short time last year before it got too cold, we never started up again this year when it got warmer again. And I've come to understand and realize that I've become much more dependent on food than I really ever thought....I eat for everything...I eat just to eat. Realizing that food was becoming more of an addiction than a mere need for survival, I have come to understand that I really need more help. So I joined Weight Watchers...again. Only this time I'm not going to let a "busy life" get in the way of attending my meetings. I've been going now for 6 weeks and I've lost 10 lbs!! I know that doesn't sound like a lot so far but at the same time, I plan on this becoming a lifestyle change and a long-term more permanent change so I'm not trying to lose everything too quickly. I want to make sure I'm making smaller more consistent changes that will stick instead of treating it like a crash diet and making changes that I would never be able to make stick long-term. So far, so good!
