Well…I weighed in last Tuesday at 240 pounds! OMG. I wanted to break down and cry because I have been here many times in the last few years. I promptly started WW. I will weigh in tomorrow. WW has always worked the best for me. I am using things I purchased in the past as a member and on e-bay. My preference. I have no interest in going to meetings and weighing in every week. In the privacy of my own home I can weigh in and be just fine. It’s so funny that I found this blog today. I was just thinking last night this is what I needed. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to blog on 3FatChicks just because of the way it was set up in the past. I love it this way. I am really doing something out my character here. I am such a private person. To be out in the open like this is unusual. Granted I am posting under my username because I prefer the anonymity of it. I know this will be so helpful to me. I am a night owl so blogging will help during those late night cravings.

Hey - welcome aboard! Boy, do I know what you mean about the OMG factor, being private, a night owl, and the appeal of anonymity. I admire those who can air their laundry while posting a picture of themselves… not me… not in a million years! ‘My weight problem’ has always been ‘my little secret’ (like no one would notice)— I might crack a joke but never would I reveal the darker side of this struggle. I’ve found with the blog it is more like I’m just having a conversation with myself—occassionaly someone listens in and will post something back that brings a smile or at least lets me know they’ve been there too. I hope you’ll continue on with this and will find that extra bit of support and encouragement that will see you through the tough spots.

To Tuphat: I am loving this already. Thanks for your support. It does feel like a conversation with myself. I do the humor thing too. I like that when I am having a rough day and of course they will happen that I can come here and vent .

I know what you mean. I lost twenty-five pounds on WW. I gained some weight after two years. So, I have to take some of it off. I am hoping this blogging will help me stay accountible.
