After much consideration and debate I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and do it.<\/p>\n

So I joined.<\/p>\n

Weight Watchers that is.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have heard success story after story about the system but I had to come to a point where I was mentally ready to join.\u00a0 It’s not free and somehow I was determined to do this “on my own… for FREE!” But now, rounding up on 3\/4 of a year past Josiah’s birth, it was OBVIOUSLY not working according to my plan.\u00a0 My “for free and on my own” system had successfully kept me holding steady at my undesired weight.\u00a0 So I guess I was successfully failing.<\/p>\n

After looking I decided that Weight Watchers Online was my best bet.\u00a0 I can’t commit to going to meetings or\u00a0 weighing in anywhere.\u00a0 So I now get my own little profile to keep track of what I eat.\u00a0 It also helps me keep track of what types of things I’m eating (fruits & veggies, water, vitamins, dairy and healthy oils).<\/p>\n

I love it.<\/p>\n

It’s so satisfying to check off those little boxes and earn smiley faces for reaching my goals every day.\u00a0 They also put together progress reports so I can look at my weight loss in a chart or inches lost in a grid or even see where I’m eating the most food throughout the day.\u00a0 I think it’s nifty.<\/p>\n

As of right now I’ve lost 12 pounds.\u00a0 And for me that’s significant.\u00a0 Any weight lost is a step closer in the right direction, right!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
