My Journey

I honesty can say I've been on and off diets my entire life. I can distinctly remember telling a friend on the playground in 7th grade that I was going on a diet, I'm 23 years old now. I've learned over the years that there aren't quick fixes and the only way to happiness in your life is to love yourself first and fill in the rest later. I yo yo-ed for years. This Thanksgiving after living in St. Louis for 6 months I saw pictures of myself and realized I was in denial at 5'6, 190 lbs my BMI was 30.1, I was horrified I was obese. Something had to be done. I decided to skip the daily McDonald's and made some progress by the end of the holiday season I had lost a few pounds. I decided however if I was really going to do this I needed a plan. One day in March I decided to join Weight Watchers, I had been a member before but never made it beyond a few weeks and never saw any results. This time was going to be different I vowed to myself. My journey so far has been tough but good.
