Okay, Ladies, you all have to keep me honest. . .I have to tell you a little history, though. In 2007 after my trip to WDW, I had ballooned up to almost 200 pounds. This is not good for a person with acid reflux, a small frame (think my ring size--4.5), and short. So, a friend joined Nutrisystem and lost a whole bunch of weight. I decided I'd try it.
I lost 50 pounds on Nutrisystem in 6 months. I kept the weight off for the most part until just before our 2008 trip to Disney World. When we got back, I joined Weight Watchers. I should have known it was not going to help. It never did. I gained an additional 2 pounds on WW. The situation is now getting desparate. I am almost up to 170 pounds again and today I ordered Nutrisystem food again.
Keep asking me how NS is doing, okay? I have to lose this weight. This is a serious health issue for me. Unchecked weight gain and acid reflux disease were the causes of my mother's death in 2002. I have to lose this weight. There is no other option.
As a "sort of" punishment to myself for this weight gain, we are not going to Disney World again until I meet my weight loss goal. This seems cruel, but this is the way I lost the weight before. Besides, the additional costs for the Nutrisystem food would pull from that frivolous sccount, anyway, making going to Disney a non-issue.
Just keep me honest. I have almost 35 pounds to lose. When I hit the halfway mark, I'll start looking at potential dates for the next trip, but our next Disney trip will be no sooner than 10 months after I hit my weight loss goal. It sounds cruel, but it's the only way to do it. My health has to come before Disney.
