Hello Readers!

Hello everyone. While I am not sure how many people will read this, I am hoping that blogging will keep me accountable to my diet. I recently started Weight Watchers for...oh, about the 7th time, I think. It has worked well for me in the past, but for some reason or another, I have always stopped short of my goal. I weighed in at 173 last week and I am hoping to lose about 43 lbs. My dream weight is actually 125, but I am optimistic enough to realize that I may not get down that far. I hope to improve my health with exercise and healthier eating. Main problem: I LOVE junk food. I love it. It's so awful, but even though I grew up with a mother who made sure I had veggies and healthy stuff for dinner, I always begged for the bad stuff. I love Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and can, sadly enough, finish an entire pint in one sitting. No more of that. What I usually do, is eat according to my points during the week, Tuesday through Monday and then after I get weighed, I use that as a splurge day. It gives me something to look forward to, and eventually, I don't even crave too terrible of food, the longer I am on the diet. What I really need to do, is get my booty into the gym!!! Only problem is, I hate the gym. I love to play sports, but unfortunately, my area is kind of limited in terms of women's recreational sports, aside from college sports and high school sports. There are a million men's teams in the area, but not so many for women. I'll be back tomorrow with my weigh in information!!!
