My first post

Weight has been a struggle my whole life, like so many people. No matter what the scale said, I felt fat and gross. Much of my thoughts centered around wondering why my genes did not allow me to easily have a model-like body. Occasionally when I am standing alone in front of a mirror I actually do not mind the way I look. But as soon as anybody stands next to me, the feeling of being an ogre takes over.

I have succeeded on Weight Watcher a few times. My most recent success has found me at a stand still, which is a huge progress over being back to my original weight. I cannot spend the money on meetings or their snacks which I inevitably buy but I have done this program so many times I could calculate the points value of any item in a split second. (Ok, slight exaggeration).

The bottom line is that I am hoping that this blog will help me in my journey of weight loss so that I can be healthy and be happier with myself. This will be 100% honest, bad days and good, no matter how painful.
