Girls, you forgot to mention the ritual bloodletting...Just teasing.
Seriously, best of luck Wahine, and I hope you enjoy WW. Try to keep in mind as best you can that you're doing this for YOU - noone else. You are the one in control of this project. Somehow it really helped me to become totally self-absorbed (and almost relentless) in my weightloss goals. I became "selfish" about taking the time I needed to exercise, and to cook good meals, and to attend meetings when I needed, and to spend time pursuing things that would keep me motivated (like coming to 3FC). It's a big effort, but it's worth it and the whole family benefits because Mom's a happier person.
