This is a continuing saga. I could have written on this topic every year since I was 13 years old. Then, i thought that weighing 140 pounds was obese. Today, I can only dream of weighing 140 pounds. However, I have rejoined WW. It took me six weeks to lose 10 pounds, but I believe they are gone for good. I am now working on the next ten. Today, I wouldn’t dream of posting my actual weight…all you know is that it is more than 140 pounds. The new WW offers a very wide variety of healthy foods and a sensible format in which to construct tasty meals. I find that the more vegetables that I incorporate into my meals, the more weight I lose. A simple, yet successful method to weight loss. You read it here first…maybe not.

For the first time, I am on a diet for me and only for me. I want to be able to exercise, fit comfortably in clothes and look “good to me” while I am doing this. I don’t want to look at a style that I like and think, “oh, I can’t wear that.” I am not talking about styles with assorted holes cut in them, or clothing that should be worn so tight that every part of the anatomy is in evidence. I just mean clothes that are, in my world, appropriate for a mature, adult woman. I set the standards and work to achieve them…not to attract a man but to please myself. I won’t even tell you how long it took me to achieve this level of thinking. My opinion matters the most as far as how I look and feel. That feels wonderful to think and still a bit uncomfortable to write. I am working on it, still a work in progress, guess I always will be.
