My 1st Weight Watchers Meeting

I attended my 1st Weight Watchers meeting on yesterday. It was very informative on alot of aspects in my life. I joined Weight Watchers a couple of years ago but didn't stick to it because I thought I could maintain on my own. Well, that was short lived, so I decided to rejoin again and will be sticking to it. My main purpose for joining Weight Watchers is so that I can feel better about myself & live a healthier lifestyle. I want so badly to get off Kaiser's medication for Diabeties & High Blood Pressure. I've been suffering with these illnesses for far to long. I was diagnosed with both eliments in 2003. It's now 2011 & it's time to get it together and quit tripping. I dedicate this journey of my to 1st & formost my Mom & Dad. My inspiration for me beginning my journey was cousin Dallas, she going to the gym & eating right so that she do right by her health, I am so proud of my cousin. That alone if not anything eles struck a cord in me saying that I need to follow in her foot steps. Also, I just purchased Janet Jackson's book "True You" I found out by reading her book that just because she a multi-million dollar selling artist that she is not exempt from pain. She suffered some of the same issued as we all do. I like her never thought I was pretty enough, her weight was a very big issue, name calling by her brothers & friends from school, self esteem issues and so forth. I suffered with kids calling me names as janet stated in her book that can be very trumatizing, weight going up & down and also had self esteem issues. I really suggest we all take some time out and read the book (either borrow it or purchase it) for yourself. It's a really good book. I'm not just saying this because I like Janet Jackson (because as you know, she is my favorite singer of all-time). For me eating small portions will be a little hard to do at 1st but I will get use to it. When you're use to eating everything on your plate (my mom use to say don't get up from the table till you clean that plate). It took years for me to realize that u only have to satisfy ur hunger pain & don't eat till you are over stuffed that is not good. I now know that I am an over eater, I had a tendency to eat when I was depressed about something or just eating something because it was there & not not even being hungry. I know I can get my life in order if I just stick to this program & continue to trust in God to get me through it. I always say (P.U.S.H.) Pray Until Something Happens!!! Prayer is Powerful. I really hope I can encourge someone eles to make a change in their live to lead a healthier lifestyle.
