Here I Go!!

Ok, I have now created a blog. Good job, Mary!! This blog is purely for my own use. I am committed to losing weight and today is my 19th CDOP (continous day on program). Which means I have faithfully followed the weight watchers program for 19 days. I was too disgusted with myself to get on the scale when I started. I didn't actually weight myself until I had been OP for 7 straight days. I felt I would be happy if I weighed 203 or less. Lo and Behold, I weighed 196.8. Thank you Mary for being faithful. Your body is happy. I have been weighing on Saturdays and the next Saturday I weighed 193.2. A VERY good week indeed.
The best part is I don't wake up in the morning every single day
feeling fat and disgusted with myself. While it is true that my BMI reading is still in the obese catagory, I feel I am doing something about it and each day I get better and better. I am taking this one day at a time and eventually it will all add up to better health and a better quality of life.
There are some people on the WW board that have 250+ OP days, my hats off to them and I am truly inspired by them. Another inspiring person is Adrienne. She is a lady that is being profiled in Redbook Magazine. They selected 3 women that applied to be helped with weight issues. They have had then evaluated by doctors and trainers to assist them and then they are putting their progress in the monthly magazine. Anyway Adrienne is the only one that is really working on it and blogging regularly and having some success. I like to read her blogs.
Well Mary...keep it up. You CAN do this...and more importantly, you WANT to do this.
