Crazy life

Hello again!  Sorry I have not been keeping up with blogging.  I have been having a really busy time and not sticking to my diet as I should be.  My husband had eye surgery a couple of weeks ago and have had to baby him a while.  He is doing well thankfully! 

I have had problems with my knees for a while now but been having alot of problems lately.  Sooooo I went to the dr today only to be told what I am always told....to loose weight.  If it were that easy I would have done it years ago.  He thinks that is the answer to all the problems and I am not so sure but I do know I need to lose.  He did give me an appetite suppressent, that he doesnt think will work for me, for the next 3 months. and told me to limit myself to 1200 calories.  Also he told me to exercise but not to do anything that involves being on my feet.  So I am going to give it my best shot and see if this works.  I do want to be around to grow old with my husband and I want desperately to have children.  Keep your fingers crossed for me, pray for me or whatever you do that will help.  It is greatly appreciated!!!  I promise I will be better about keeping in touch and blogging. 

Hope all is going well for you all and you are keeping on track!!  Take care!

First Weight Watchers Meeting

I attended my first weight watchers meeting this morning.  I had been doing the plan by myself online for a while now and it really wasnt working for me so I thought I would attend a meeting.  I feel so motivated now!  I know this is going to be a long process but I also know and feel that I can do it.  Another motivating factor today was when I went to see my doctor.  He told me that if I continue as I am and not loose weight that I will have diabetes soon.  Diabetes is something that runs in my family and has often worried me so I do get tested for it regularly.  I have another test set up for Monday.  I am not looking forward to it but it is something that has to be done. 

This weekend is my husbands birthday weekend so I am treating him to a weekend away.  I am a bit worried about staying on track while we are out.  Please keep your fingers crossed that I make smart decisions this weekend! 

Getting started!

Getting started is probably the hardest part for me.  I know I need to loose weight desperately but I am always saying I will start tomorrow or next week.  The sad thing is that day never comes!  So today is the day for me.  I have joined weight watchers and have not been sticking with the program like I should but I AM going to change all that starting today. 

I recently married the love of my life.  He and I would like to start a family and I know at my current weight it will be extremely difficult to do so.  That is my motivation in doing this.  Of course I want to be healthier and be around to grow old with my husband also. 

If you are reading this and can relate please let me know I am not alone.  I am going to need lots of support and encouragement along the way.  Today is only the first baby step towards a brand new me!!
