Weight Watchers

So about an hour ago I signed up for Weight Watchers.  Like I said in a recent post I have basically maintained my weight while at school which is not bad but it's also not good either.  I have decided to sign up for Weight Watchers online to motivate me especially during the month that I will be spending at home.  I just want to finally be happy with myself.  I am so sick of feeling like crap about my body and I feel this especially during this time of year.  The feeling comes creeping back every year.  The feeling that I am describing is the feeling that yet another year has gone past and I am still overweight.  The holiday season really just drives that home.  I hate looking at pictures and comparing them to years past because all I desperately want is to lose weight but unfortunately I do the exact opposite.  So today December 6, 2013 I am going to hopefully not feel that feeling because my goal is lose at least ten pounds by Christmas.  I have  a lot of weight to lose and from my past Weight Watchers experience the first week is the week where you see the biggest amount of weight loss because your body is going through so many changes.  I have full confidence in myself that I can accomplish this goal that I have set for myself!  They automatically give you your first goal so on my profile on my account my first goal to reach for myself is to lose 14 pounds and I think I can accomplish this before New Years.  Again another reason why this time of year really drives home the feeling is because gym membership advertisements are everywhere you look it's like you can't escape them.

Side note: if any of you have ever done Weight Watchers before then you will know how the points system works but for those of you who don't i'll briefly explain it.  Basically, you are given a certain amount of points per day and every food has a certain point value.  You are supposed to write down the foods you eat throughout the day and keep them within the daily point allowance.  I get 45 points of day because of my age, height and weight.  The ONLY thing I had to eat today was a 12 inch sub from the food court and it was 30 points.  I couldn't even believe it.  Needless to say I will not be having that for a while or at least the 12 inch version.

I will hopefully be posting more updates on my Weight Watchers experience and also how I am managing finals which are coming up very soon.

Ta ta,
Jamie
