At about 5 months into my pregnancy with Al, I reached a milestone. I was once again the same weight that I had been fifteen years earlier when I first joined Weight Watchers. Seeing that number on the scale was a shock, but I was sure that it was just temporary.
I was wrong.
When Al was born, my weight quickly reduced to that same number within a couple of weeks. "Sweet!" I thought. I'd be back to normal within another couple of weeks.
I was wrong.
Eight weeks later, it was time to return to work. My old work clothes no longer fit, because I was still at that same weight. I was nursing, and I had realized that cutting out too many calories decreased my milk supply, so serious dieting was out of the question. So off I went to buy some "in-between" work outfits. "I won't have to wear this size for very long," I told myself when I cringed at the number on the tag.
I was wrong.
Two years later, I'm still wearing those "in between" outfits. I haven't nursed for over a year, so there's really no excuse.
It's time to bite the bullet. I joined Weight Watchers online on Sunday.
Hold me.

i loved weight watchers! i miss it!
(also, did you know that there's a group of bloggy girls all doing the WW thing together? once i have this here watermelon/baby, i'm signing my postpartum arse right back up).
seriously though: good for you. it's good to do things FOR YOURSELF!
