It's amazing how life can derail you from good, positive choices into ones that you quickly regret. I was laid off in January. I had achieved lifetime status in Weight Watchers. I was exercising every day. I was feeling really good about myself.

We returned from our holiday vacation at the beginning of January to my department being eliminated from my company. My habits instantly changed. Then one of my son's had surgery. Then my other son had surgery. (Both are very well now). I got a new job, but dealing with my stress with eating and drinking has become the norm. I have had to cut my excersize down considerably with my new job responsibilities, so that avenue for stress-relief has been curttaled, as well.  

In general, I just don't feel good about myself these days. I need to turn this around for myself, my husband, my sons. I'm not getting annnnnnyyyyyy younger. I need to turn this around NOW. 

I'm really hoping this program will help me stay motivated so I can get back to where I was and should be. It would be great if we could all be supportive, but really - I'll just do this and take your money while I get skinny, ok? ;-)
