Holy big fat asses batman.  Did I just admit my weight in my blog title.  I have officially lost my damn mind!  Well, I guess I’m going to attempt to do the whole “make healthier choices and use portion control” thing.  I know people who have had great success with Weight Watchers.  So, I am going to give Weight Watchers a try myself.

Now I must inform you that I have always been against diets because diets don’t work.  Once you’re off the diet the pounds just come right back.  I get that, unlike a lot of people whom pump billions of dollars into the pockets of those in the dieting industry.  I get that it’s a life style change that needs to be done in order to lose the weight and essentially keep it off.  The few success stories I have seen in my life have learned just that from Weight Watchers.  Weight Watchers has taught them what proper portions are and what healthy choices actually are.

Even though I had already been buying what I thought were healthy things for my family there is still a lot of options that I just hadn’t even considered.  For instance, I would buy Crystal Lite instead of Kool-Aid.  But I didn’t know that there is lite breads or even how many calories were in things as simple as crackers.  Not that I intend on depriving myself.  Which is actually not the point of Weight Watchers at all.  From what I have gathered during this first week of mine it’s about what’s more important to me.  I can have whatever I want.  Just not all in the same day.  That is the gluttonous behavior that got me to being fat in the first place.

So today I will eat a healthy turkey sandwich for lunch with a dill pickle so I can enjoy a manwich meal with broccoli cheese noodles and a Miller Lite for dinner.  Woot woot, cause that’s how I roll.  Or should I say, cause that’s how I hope to lose my rolls.
