One Pound a Week (Give or Take)

Four years, two children and an extra 25 pounds. I was the high school beauty queen who could eat all she wanted and only watched others exercise. So what happened? I could blame my extra weight on the kids, my age, my desk job, possibly my love for pizza. Personal responsibility is a hard road - one I have walked many times but never for my weight. So I took a step and joined Weight Watchers. 16 weeks and 16 pounds lost. I reached my personal deadline on July 4th, 2010. On July 12th I lost my father. I became an emotional/stress eater (at least that was my excuse) and found six of those pounds in only six weeks.

As I stand here today - I have the choice to take the lessons I have learned and get back on track. I am at a point where I don't want to go ignore my issues and fall further from my goals. What I have learned is that change is not a linear process, but that all change is self-change.
