Weight Problem

  Well its one of the hardest topics for a female to talk about besides her age I believe!  The truth for me is that for the last 10 years or so my weight really has been an issue.  I have gone up and down on the sliding scale of life.  My max weight was 270.  I was lucky enough not to ever hit that "magic" number.  You know that one  number you get to and you start having diabetes, high blood pressure, cholosteral problems etc(you get my drift).  But I did get to that level that the only thing I could do was sit in my lazy boy at home and sweat just thinking about exercising.
  So what has changed at this moment to get me motivated to lose weight?  Well 3 things.  First, I will be turning 39 in August and lets be frank I dont want to the fat mom at football games who cant go up the stairs to our seats for fear of a heartattack or asthma attack.  Second as I approach 40 I want to be here for a long time for my Husband and for my kids.  Third, our Boy Scout Troop 262 is going on a SeaBase scout camp next summer to go sailing and I WANT to go too! With this trip there is a weight limit and I am about 75-80 lbs too heavy.  This camp cost a ton of money but I really really, did I say really want to go!  I got to go sailing a year ago and I am HOOKED! To the point that when we retire I want to get a sailboat and sail around the world! Ok maybe not the world but who knows...
  So here I began  my new weight loss journey by starting Weight Watchers 3 weeks ago.   In 3 week I have now lost 5.2 pounds.  While its been hard its been good.  I know I am not sticking to it like I probably should I am still working on it. I haven't started exercising as of yet.  Although I did get into the pool and swim 4 full laps before I thought I was going to die! But I did it! With exercising I will take it one swim at time, one step at a time!With just one bite at time I will change my life.

PS. Just don't judge me when you see me eatting that blizzard or that candy bar, because I will eat it with no guilt :) And I will count it as part of my weight watchers points too!
