I joined Weight Watchers today. I still haven't decided if I will attend the meetings or just do it with the girls at work. What I know is that I have hit a plateau and I'm frustrated and willing to do what it takes to get back to losing again. Curves is great for the workout part, but I have been doing horrible when it comes to eating. Why do I think I can eat whatever I want and lose weight? My body just won't go for that! It holds on to every extra calorie! So, I started Weight Watchers today with my skinny stick of a daughter sitting next to me durring the meeting complaing that she was hungry and wanted McDonalds. Something tells me this is going to be a long and painful road, but I'm willing to do it. Perhaps it will mean that she will have to start eating healthy as well. I keep trying to convince her that one day she will not be able to eat all that she does and keep that stick figure, but she doesn't believe me. She is nine and blissfully unaware that widder hips and a bulging abdomen are just around the corner. I am doing my best now to keep her active and we are working on the fruits and vegtables. From the looks of it she will maintain that skinny waist by downing a full glass of water with every miniscule piece of brocoli I make her eat, and I am certain she is burning off calories by contorting her face into an awful grimice with each gulp. She will either thank me one day, or send me her therapy bill.
As for me, I know this is something I can do. I am hopefull that I will lose 10bls by September 5th. That is exaclty one month from today. I'll try not to focus too much on my diet durring my blogging, but I will keep you updated. :)
I have set two other goals for myself. I will take a minimum of five pictures a week and I will learn to play one song on the guitar by then.
We are going camping in September and I am determined to play a song by the camp fire even if I have to play the same one over and over again.

This weekend was awful for me! I ate everything and anything in site. I'm back on track tomorrow. I think over all I've still lost 2lbs. How's it going for you?
