Do you see the number on this scale. Yeah, it's not my scale. I am 5'9" and Weight Watchers says a healthy weight for me is between 135 and 169. I haven't been 135 since middle school. I remember being 140 in HS, and thinking I was fat. HAHAHA!
Ok, so laughing aside, I really do need to get to a healthier weight. 169 would put me at a BMI just at 25, so not even "normal weight" if we're labeling here. 135 would put me almost "underweight" but ok. HAHA! Me, underweight. Whatever. Anyway. I am currently not in the "overweight" category. Oh no, not me! I have achieved "obese" status. Such an achievement.
I think part of my problem is that, while I certainly look overweight, I do not look obese. If I wait until I LOOK obese, I may just be too far gone. I will be merely overweight once I lose 10% of my current weight. Jeez! That said, I need to do this! I am a horrible example to my kids. I simply cannot be healthy at this weight. The time is now.
I rejoined WW last week, but have been exceeding my points all week! I see a glaring red number at the top of my screen at the end of every day. However, I AM journaling everything. I will continue, and chip away at the excess points. I will increase my activity points. Next week, I hope to not have any (or at least a lot less) red days. I may not do it all immediately, but I will not quit. Each week WILL be better.

Don't feel bad about needing some extra points to get you through the day, just keep track of them. I honestly think it's better to eat a bit more (healthy foods, natch) and just increase the exercise a bit if seeing yourself "in the red" is bugging you. Especially at the beginning, when you may be used to eating a *lot* more (in my case, anyways), it's pretty rough following the Points regimen to the letter (or number).
Thanks! Yeah, I actually wish the red numbers bothered me more, lol! On the plus side, I know I can reduce that red number, and eliminate it shortly :)
