'Weighing' My Options

I got to thinking, this is a blog about my weight loss journey and I've never even mentioned my weight. How taboo, a woman talking about her weight! I'm not entirely sure I want to, but at the same time- how would anyone ever know of my progress?! I guess I could just say very generally, "Oh lost 2 lbs this week.." or "Oh went up 1lb this week.." but I think that isn't as impressive as "I weight 124 this week, I lost 2lbs!" which of course is completely and utterly false!

I've thought about finding some type of support for a couple of weeks now. For anyone who has ever truly tried, the weight loss journey can make you feel really alone. I watch everyone I care about eat whatever they want and never see the scale move, while I count my calories, measure my portions (okay, I'm lying- I *should* measure but I rarely ever do!), and watch what I eat and I just watch the scale fluctuate 1-2lbs depending on how much sodium was in my meal the day before.

After much contemplation, I think I am going to join a Weight Watchers group. I think it be beneficial to me to be around other women (and sometimes men!) who are also attempting to achieve the same thing I am. I could use helpful tips and a forum to talk about my struggles and to listen to how others have overcome them. I found a group that meets Thursday morning, so I've marked it on my calendar and plan to attend it. Anyone who is familiar with Weight Watchers knows they have a "weekly weigh-in" which typically occurs the day you attend your meeting. I'll use that as my basis for progress. So mark your calendars, Thursday I'll find out my *starting* weight! I guess you all will too. It makes me cringe to think about it!
