First blog.

So I decided to jump on this blogging bandwagon. It will be a way for me to connect with others- but more importantly- myself. There have been days when I wish I would journal more, write more, spend more time alone. But life has been waayyyy too busy. So- I shall blog! Typing is way faster than handwriting, which is good because my mind can race faster than I can write.

This blog will be mostly about my weight loss journey. Still feels kinda weird to say that. I guess the funny part is that I was actually finally "okay" with who I was before I joined Weight Watchers. I have a great family, an amazing boyfriend, good friends. They all loved me just as I was, so I decided to love me too. But part of loving myself, meant being good to myself. And I started realizing that I wasn't feeling quite as good about myself as I thought I was...

I actually started to feel physically uncomfortable in my skin. I felt my heart beating so fast after walking up the stairs in my house. I went to bed wondering if my breathing pattern was normal. My clothes were too tight. I had to see a specialist about stomach/digestion issues that were getting worse, and it turned out I had a fatty liver. At 20. Which only makes sense...Kraft Dinner and take-out were just my every-day norm. -Shudder-

My mom suggested that we join WW together. At first I shrugged it off, got a lil defensive and said "I don't need to pay someone to tell me what to eat. I can't imagine tracking points". But then I looked online and found out more about the program. It finally clicked, and I was so stoked to join! I couldn't wait!

I am currently in my 9th week, and have lost 18.6 pounds so far.I am roughly the same size I was when I graduated high school 3 years ago. It is unreal how much better I feel on the inside, and that only translates to the outside.

I am loving the WW way of life, and can't wait to keep living this way. I am hopefully going to be able to connect more with the people on the WW.ca boards, since I haven't posted terribly much. I can't wait to see how much more I will learn and change, and how my life will benefit from being healthy for the first time in..well...forever haha.
