Losing weight is a battle. It takes commitment, focus, dedication. It is definitely not easy by any stretch.
I know and accept that this is something I will be battling for the rest of my life. Not a day will go by that I am not thinking about what I put into my mouth. I hear people bitch and complain about their bodies, about imperfections or things they don't like. I get irritated with people who whine about wanting to drop weight, when in reality they are THIN, because I know that will never be me, griping about 15 lbs.
I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting (for the second time) on 8/1/07, and it has been a battle ever since. Battling with my emotions, my body, my cravings, my laziness. But I can honestly say that it is a battle I am winning, and I want to continue to win.
I got on the scale yesterday. I am 70 pounds lighter than I was when I got on that Weight Watchers scale on 8/1/07.
I know I have more to lose, and I will continue to work hard to lose it. But I am feeling very proud right now and just wanted to send some positive energy out to the world.
