| I'm sure that you all might want to know my story about my Weight Watchers journey...so let me being... I have been overweight my entire life. Has it been easy? NO! As far as I know, I have always been on a diet, watching my weight or what I am eating. I will always remember how everytime I threw a penny in a fountain I always wished to be thin. When I was 13 years old I attended a weight loss camp. I was there for 6 weeks, and what a long 6 weeks it was! The good part about going there was that I lost 25lbs! That was the most I had ever lost in my entire life, up to that point,and I just felt so good about my life. I will always remember how satisfied I was with everything...I just felt at ease and never was I disgusted with myself. After being home for a few weeks, I began gaining my weight back. Before I knew it, I was up all of my weight I had lost previously lost, plus more! Finally, in January 2000, my mother and I decided to join Weight Watchers. Weighing in at 236 lbs, I was totally shocked and determined to get this distgusting weight off of me! In the matter of about 4 months, I was down nearly 35 lbs without any problem at all! It was the easiest thing I had ever done before in my life and I was totally amazed that my willpower came out of nowhere! I would walk into my high school with sky-high confidence that everyone knew I never had before. Compliments and support were being thrown at me from every angle! What could I complain about?! Finally I had boys looking at me differently for the first time in my life. Why would I want to be heavy again? Unfortunately I was jinxed, because I hit a plateau, and eventually gained every pound back, plus 57.4 more--which brings to me today... I am sitting here right now on July 12th, 2005. telling you that I weigh (according to my last weigh in) 293.4 lbs! I said so many times in my life that I will stick to Weight Watchers! So what happens? I loose 10 lbs and then loose all will-power and then gain all my weight back plus more! But this will change! I am 21 years old--do you know what that means?! It means I am legally an adult! I am a girl who wants to lose weight, look good, and feel good. I am old enough to take control of what I put into my body. I only have one body, so why not take care of it? I don't need mommy making my lunch for me anymore or watching everything that goes into my mouth. But why can't I do it? To go into psychological terms, my "ID" or child part of my brain is in control. The "ID" part of the brain says "I want it, and I will get it no matter what I have to do!" For me, the it that I want is food! To me, "ID" is short for the "IDIOT" part of the brain; and that is exactaly what I am acting like! I am acting like a fool because I want this so bad, and I am doing nothing to accomplish it! So I am here today, ready to establish my dream--my dream of being healthy, beautiful, and thin! People don't realize how hard it is to lose weight if they haven't had a problem with it. I have tired so hard to lose weight..and it hasn't worked. So here I am, again, rededicating myself to a healthy lifestyle. But this time...I am going to stick to it. So, as of July 12, 2005, I am definately sticking to this weight loss plan. I am sick of comparing myself to other people. I can be one of them! I am going to do this! Fasten your seatbelts people..this is going to be a bumpy ride!
