11 days and counting on the new WW's program!

I can honestly say that I followed the old WW's program maybe for a total of 4 days on a given week. My favorite part of going to meetings was clapping for all of those who lost weight. I would genuinely be excited for them ..you would have thought that I was getting the award. I know the old program worked because I witnessed many members shed 50, 100+ pounds.

My husband's uncle passed away of a heart attack, this was my mother-in-law's brother. So in less than two months we lost two very special family members. What keeps resonating in my head is my health. Is this a wake up call? My mother-in-law was considered obese and I saw that on the death certificate. It made an impact on me, it scared me because I am not far from being considered obese.

It's no longer about being a hottie, it is more about being healthy. I want to live a long healthy life and feel good about myself. Now, looking like a hottie will be a definite plus don't get me wrong! I want to lose 40-45 pounds and I think I am at my breaking point. I am focused and I have never felt the need to lose this weight as much as I do now.

Back to WW's ... I am super excited about the new program. Why? Because it is a fresh start for me! I didn't follow the old one for more than 4 to 5 days and guess what... I am on day 11 of tracking. I like this program more because I haven't been hungry so far. I also appreciate fruit and vegetables more since they are "free". I no longer rely on those 100 calorie count packets.

I've always doubted that I can get back to my goal weight ... I have put that doubt away!

My friends we must take care of our body ... it is the only one that God blessed us with.
