Well, I guess Newbie isn't exactly right. I guess you can say that I'm new to these boards, but definitely not to the weight loss scene. I've tried just about everything and had great success with WW until some family issues about 2 years ago. From that point, I've let myself have free reign on food - anything I wanted, anytime I wanted. I have learned that I'm an emotional eater and I'm working on trying to get a handle on that. Just because I'm happy, sad, excited, or whatever doesn't mean that I have to eat my way through it. I'm back on the WW Flex Program and that's a start. That and learning that I cannot be perfect through this. Just because I may blow one meal or snack doesn't mean the whole day is busted!
I guess my real wake up call came when I tried to start walking again and did something to the sciatica and realized just how out of shape I am. What an eye opener that was. I think I was just a bit complacent about it all until I realized (very painfully) that I have to do something to get in shape.
Just wanted to introduce myself. Hope to make some friends here to help through this journey. It's so much easier to climb a mountain when you have a buddy with you to help pull you up when you need it.
One More Newbie!
