I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight. It was very interesting. Learning about the points and what foods I need to eat daily. Having a "road map" is very helpful for me. I wish that I could say that I already knew this stuff. Maybe I do and I just don't do it. Whatever the situation, now I have a plan. Have I mentioned that I am a planner? I am also a "recovering" perfectionist. It's very easy to let the details take over. I have to remember that "it's progress, not perfection" and take it "one day at a time".
Although my body feels stronger than it has felt in years, these extra 20 lbs that I have packed on in the last 12 months are weighing me down. (No pun intended! LOL) My fingers are crossed, I am wishing on shooting stars, and saying my prayers. Right now, I would be happy to just see the scale go down a pound or two and STAY THERE!
I have to admit, when I first went in there, I was hoping that someone would say that I didn't need to be there. No such luck! They weighed me and took my money with no questions ask. I really wish that this skinny girl in my head would go away because it's really confusing the person in the mirror.
