It's business time

Weight loss an diligent tracking of points plus. I'm an sick and tired of being the way that I am it's time to make some serious changes. I have gained almost 30 pounds since signing up for weight watchers nearly two years ago. Yes, gained. What is wrong with that statement. I've gained 20 pounds alone since I started dating my boyfriend and we've been together for almost a year. I'm not blaming him in any way shape or form. But I'm using it to prove a point on how much I've "let myself go". He's always been really fit and I am sometimes ashamed of that. I've probably got a good 100 pounds in him and it's sickening. He's a wonderful guy and is constantly telling me I'm beautiful and don't need to change but it's really hard to believe what other people tell you when you don't believe it yourself. Sometimes I think if I ever want to get married and have kids I want to be around to actually see them grow up and have the energy to raise them. I know it's a big 'what if' and wouldn't happen for another 5 or 6 years maybe but I'm just looking at the big picture. If I get married I want to look stunning in my wedding dress. I don't want people to recognize me at my high school reunion. I want to run that marathon before I turn 30. They say when you've hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. Well I'm looking at that consent but slightly different. It feels like I've hit rock bottom when it comes to my weight therefore the only way for it to go is down. It starts today. I haven't grazed at work but when I was hungry I ate an apple instead of a cookie or ice cream. I know it's these small changes that are going to lead to big results. So without further adue (sp?).i present to you the starting data and grotesque soon to be "before" photo.
