Subject: Weight Watchers

Ok, I joined weight watchers yesterday. I joined some years ago and know that it works if you follow it. It's one of the few programs that doesn't have forbidden foods. As soon as I tell myself I CAN'T have something I'll start craving it. This way I can have whatever I want as long as I count the points assigned to it and stay within my range of daily points. A friend at work joined it too so we go together on Tuesdays during lunch.

About 5-6 years ago I had let myself (after years of depression and binge eating) get pretty big. I had never been that heavy in my life. Then when my pdoc put me on Adderall for ADD and I also had a very physical job, I lost 60 pounds in about 7 months or so and I kept it off for about 3 years. When I moved back up here 3 years ago I had gained 10 of it back but that wasn't bad. In the past 2 years with this job sitting down and the people here always bringing cakes, etc in to eat, eating a lot of junk at home, being depressed and stressed and not taking the dosage of Adderall I am supposed to due to not being able to afford it, I've gained an additional 18 pounds. So 28 pounds of that 60 I lost is back and I can't stand the way I feel anymore. I'm horrible about exercise because when I get home, after dealing with people, noise, etc all day, all I want to do is chill and be left alone. So I'm going to weight watchers to lose at least 25 pounds and I'm going to start using the treadmill here at work during lunch at least a couple times a week. We have a small gym here.

I know if I'd take this weight back off I'd feel better about myself because right now I can't wear any of the cute clothes I bought when I lost all the weight and the clothes I am wearing are all getting too tight and showing my rolls.

I just hope I stick with it. I have a tendency to give up too easy. Wish me luck...
