After I regained the weight I previously lost on WW because I stopped tracking my food, and eating whatever whenever... I had been putzing around with different diets du jour, not sticking to any of them, just getting bigger and bigger in the yo-yo.
Then I blogged about it this month, and I reread my first post... God, I sounded like such a WHINER!
It was all I can't do this diet because of blah blah, or that one because of blah blah blah...
It was an eye-opener to realize I needed to get real, and have to start tracking my food to lose the weight. Trusting myself to wing it and cut it down was not working, so here I am.
Plus I also had the nasty health & life effects of:
* Hip and knee pain (at 36, ugh!)
* High fasting blood sugar at last physical
* Wonky extra-heavy periods and adult acne on my jawline/neck until I hid it by going on the Pill
* Wheezing after a flight of stairs
* Back pain
* Depression
* Acid reflex up the wazoo, keeping TUMS at home and work
* Becoming a hermit because I didn't want to go out and be seen
* Jeans wearing out in the inner thighs early on
* Too tired to regularly clean my apartment
* Too much money spent on crap food & alcohol
I just got to the point of being fed up and decided to tackle it!
