Well I'm doing pretty good, however I've done better I'm letting stress of playing mommy and daddy to five kids get to me and I've made a few wrong choices food wise. I have reinjured my knee I had hurt it a year or so ago but it was doing so much better till my 3 year old son yanked on me in the airport terminal and caused me to twist my knee and fall...I was able to walk 4 miles on the walk away the pounds DVD before the fall now I can't even get two miles out before I have to stop because of the pain! I've got to get out of this funk that the knee injury, and the hubby being deployed has me in a major funk! Well here's hopeing that all ends for me soon! Well hope all of y'all out there are doing well!

I made the grave decision to return to Weight Watchers after trying to continue (and failing miserably) to lose weight on my own this summer. I was out of town most of the time so they cancelled my membership for me. How thoughtful of them.

I walked in with my head hung low, trying to smile and make eye contact... trying to find the fake confidence within me. I had tried to do this on my own, failed miserably, and now was returning to admit my mistakes and failures. After filling out the required paperwork, I was required to step back on the scale. (Something I had chosen NOT to do during the summer months.) It was far worse than I thought. I had gained back all but 6 of the pounds that I had lost. I choked back the urge to cry, blinked back the suddenly watery eyes before they started gushing rivers down my cheeks.

I sat through the meeting, vowing in my head to do better this time. To accurately write down my points. To stop pitying myself and using food as my security blanket. The meeting ended. So what did I do? I went to the nearest drive-thru, ordered a bacon cheeseburger and the largest size of fries available. What the hell?

I consumed this heart attack of a meal while mindlessly watching rerun sitcoms on CBS. Seriously, is my life that pitiful? Yes, I guess it is. The experience speaks for itself. Even while snarfing, yes, snarfing, this meal, I reminded myself to enjoy it because I would feel guilty about it afterwards. What the hell? Of course I was going to feel guilty, I was already feeling guilty, but somehow I couldn't bring myself to actually STOP. I knew exactly what I was doing, I knew it was wrong, I knew I would regret it, but I still couldn't find the willpower, the inner strength to quit swallowing.

Besides the guilt and a greasy aftertaste, I was left with only the following thougts: Why the weakness? and What the hell wrong with you?

After losing around 85 pounds, it's high time to get off my butt and drop the final 15. 8 years ago I set a goal of losing 100 pounds, so it's time to achieve that goal once and for all! 

I'm hoping that participating in The Biggest Loser League will help me get there a little bit faster and a little bit funner. (Is funner a word? Ha!)

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get this party started!!!
