So, after some disheartening Doctor's appointments and slowly watching my weight inch closer and closer to the "overweight" category, I have decided to join weight watchers.
Why weight watchers versus every other diet plan out there? Well, I've obviously been researching diets and "trying" them out for a couple years now. What Weight Watchers had that others didn't was options. The program promotes meeting daily health guidelines and also "eating right" without depriving yourself. Its all about portion control and realizing that your body is hungry. Stay full all day on healthy stuff (like fruits and veggies) and don't over eat.
Today is day 2 of week 2. My goal is to lose 32 pounds. Yesterday was my weigh in. I have already lost 3.2 pounds! Yay! Doesn't seem like a lot, but its a very healthy weight loss number. They say that "healthy" weight loss is 2-3 pounds a week. However, I know I could have lost more. I only worked out twice last week!
One realization I've had this week is that I actually like fruits and vegetables. I have to admit that I was a self proclaimed carnivore and I thought that incorporating fruits and veggies would be really difficult because of that. But its not. Actually, for most of my meals, I don't have meat and I'm still satisfied. At the same time, because of such a drastic change in my eating habits... I might relapse, so this week I'm going to work on cooking for myself and incorporating MEAT. Yes, meat has more WW points, but we'll see.
Overall I'm excited!
