Weight Watchers

Okay, kids. Let's talk Weight Watchers.

I know, I know...I can hear the groans across the blogosphere.

Diets suck.

Now, I could say, with a very peppy smile on my face, that Weight Watchers isn't a diet! It's a lifestyle change! A new way of looking at food! And I'm never, ever, ever hungry!

But you'd all call me a liar and stop reading.
I've done Weight Watchers before. I lost 28 pounds and kept it off until I got pregnant with Elizabeth.

Pregnancy is my ultimate downfall. My body just loves when I'm pregant. It also loves the cheeseburgers and ice cream that my fetus needs.

So, with most of my clothes too tight for comfort and being too cheap to buy more, I decided to give the program another try. After all, according to my doctor, I need to lose a solid 50 pounds before I'm in the healthy range. And, according to Dr. Oz, with my current waist circumfrence, I might as well have cancer. Besides...summer is coming soon and do I really want to deal with the Bikini Moms again?

Chipper, happy thoughts all.

Because I love a good cliche, I started Weight Watchers on January 1.

After the first week's trials and tribulations, I'm going to have to admit something. Something I never really thought I'd say.

I kind of love the new program.

No. Really.

I'm eating mostly unprocessed, healthy foods. Lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. And I'm not missing pizza.

Okay. I'm missing pizza.

But I'm reminding myself that nothing tastes as good as being healthy will feel.

I have to remind myself of that a lot.

But, the whole family is eating more unprocessed, healthy foods. And that's where I wanted us to go anyway.

And the best bit? In the first month, I lost 8.6 pounds. And I'm actually totally fine continueing to eat in this way. At this rate, I'll hit my goal weight in time to rock a one peice.

What? You thought I was going to say bikini? Are you nuts? My bikini days have gone the way of my toe ring and mini skirts. And I'm okay with that.

I'm not being paid by Weight Watchers to blog about their new program. However, if they care to offer me an ad deal, I'll belt out "It's a New Day", no prob.
