I am debating about whether I should go back (again, for the 1000th time) to Weight Watchers. I know I weigh less than I did the last time I left and so it could be easier to get in a losing groove since I am not all angry at myself for gaining back weight lost and having to re-join to get myself back to eating in control...
It has been a pattern of mine to become completely disgusted with myself and go back to WW. "Once and for all" I would follow the plan, lose the weight and earn the coveted "LIFETIME" membership. I have even dreamed of becoming a leader since I am so good about giving advice. Is the realilty of this situation that I will become more aware of what I put in my mouth; that I will become accountable to myself and that I will give the WW corporation hundreds of my dollars for the priviledge of using their scale?
I do crave the weigh ins - since I am obviously NOT very accountable to myself (notice how difficult it is for me to get on the scale regularly). Is it worth it? I don't know. I will give myself another week to mull it over and then make a decision. This is typically a tough time of year for me. The lack of sun makes me want to hibernate. Food is everywhere and not "good" food. I don't want apathy to take over. I don't need another New Year's Resolution!!
My weight this morning was 184.5. I was glad. That's a pound less than the last time I weighed in. If I can do a half pound a week for the rest of the year, I could be well into the 170's and at a weight I haven't seen in 15 years!!! I am guessing it will make an Olympic Distance Triathlon a lot easier to run... That is my 2009 Fitness Goal!

Have you heard of TOPS. They are a lot cheaper and an non-profit organization. Maybe see if you have one in your area www.tops.org. They are only $24 a year. I count on them every week for weigh-in.
