Weight Watchers

After I had Matthew, back in July of 2001 ... I did Weight Watchers and was super-dooper successful with their program. In 6 months I was below my pre-pregnancy weight, below what I had weighed in High School even ... not unhealthy, but what I "should" weigh ... according to whatever butt head made that chart ... you know the chart, the one with your height and a range at what a healthy weight "should" be ...

for my height ... which officially changed at my doctor's appointment yesterday, (drum roll), I am 5 feet THREE inches ... yes, not TWO, I wasn't wearing shoes even ... I have always been 5'2" ... but apparently I have grown an inch ... sweet.

So ... the chart says that being a woman that is 5'3" I should weight between 107 and 135. Shoot, what a range! And double shoot, I am no where near that at the moment ... (sigh) ... not really a (sigh) ... more like a shrug my shoulders and think hmmmmmmmmm.

My goal after I had Matthew was 135 ... that was what I had on my Driver's License ... ha. Does anyone ever tell the truth on their license? I don't think so ... I never have. I hit 135 and goodness, if people didn't think I was ill ... everyone, my own Dad even, said I was TOO skinny ... really? But this is where I am supposed to be, the butt head that made the chart says so! It was confusing.

Anyhow, years and another baby later, I am clearly not where the chart says I should be ... I just want to be at a healthy weight and I know going back to Weight Watchers will help me get there again.

Blogging about this somehow makes a difference in my freaky mind ... that all these people will know I am doing this, so I will be somehow held accountable right? Saturday morning I'll go for my 1st weigh-in ...

Gotta start somewhere right???

Lord, I have surrendered this problem to you daily, You know my weaknesses Lord and You love me still. Thank you for the encouragement I get from my friends Lord, thank you for a program like Weight Watchers Lord, that will keep me in check and help me on this journey. Your servant,
