Willing Spirit...Weak Body

(by Kris)
Day 2:
I passed up bagels & cream cheese in church this morning & pizza and soda at a work meeting in the evening. We read this bible verse today & I had to share.

Jesus said, "Watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Kris and I went to our first WW meeting. I didn’t want to go. Actually weighed more than I thought I would (and I was guessing high). Felt angry driving home like I was upset that I was going to be missing out on something …………. mainly food. I am not focused on doing this.

Let the Journey Begin...(again)

Weight = 241.6 lbs.
February 20, 2010 - Mom & I took the plunge and attended our first Weight Watchers meeting. Neither of us were ready, mentally, to start losing weight - but we're both, how should I put this, frugal, and found a 1/2 off coupon. We had to join!

Here's a little background on me, Kris. I'm 31 years old, been married for almost eight years, and have a wonderful daughter who's about to turn four, and an awesome little guy, who's 10 months old. I'm still breastfeeding, and scared to lose weight, for fear that it will affect my milk supply. This is my third time on the Weight Watchers wagon. My first time was in 2004, when I lost 73 pounds. I LOVED being skinny!!!

In May of 2005, I got pregnant with my daughter and gained 75 pounds!

Once my daughter was 14 months old, I started Weight Watchers for a second time and lost 69 pounds. After reaching my goal, I began my training as a Weight Watchers employee and worked for the company for a short period of time.
I gained a bunch of weight & then in June 2008, I became pregnant with our son, and gained an additional 46 pounds.
Now that our son is 10 months old, I'm ready to do this again. I'm starting out at 241.6 pounds & I'd like to lose 70-75 pounds.

So why am I doing this? I'm doing this because I want to feel better about myself. I want to be in pictures with my kids. I want to have more energy. I want a bigger wardrobe - I'm tired of wearing the same fat pair of jeans EVERY day. I want to feel confident around others. I want "me" back! I'm so ready to do this!!
