This Time Around it Feels "Real."

[scanne]

OK. I've been on "diets" for a large part of my life. I always start off strong, then I get sucked into a craving or a bad mood and then spiral downward. But this time I feel like something has "clicked" and I know I'm going to see this through. I can't explain it, but even looking at the circulars this week didn't cause me to drool with desire for that ice cream or cookie. I'm doing Jenny Craig for 6 weeks to get myself jump-started, and then I will return to weight watchers. JC is expensive! But it is helping me get my act together and it's thinking and planning for me (for now).

So I'm feeling good...I also hopped on the scale this morning (3 days before I should have) and I'm already down 3.6 pounds! I just had to add that!

Just wanted to share and I look forward to posting here!

I know how you feel! I've been doing Oprah's challenge & I think it is the exercise that has made the difference for me this time. I am in my 6th week & have had 1 cheat day in all of that time (Easter!)...so, that is a miracle for me! Usually I start a diet on Monday (DOZENS of times) & I am off by Friday. I am so proud of myself & I feel great! In fact - getting ready to exercise NOW. Good luck to you & WAY TO GO!

I think we wear the same shoes. I've been on diets practically my entire life too, and here I am....age 37 and STILL struggling with my weight. However, this time, before I stepped onto the WW scales when I rejoined on 3/15/05, I decided "THIS IS IT!" Something clicked with me too, so I know exactly how this feels.

CONGRATULATIONS on a positively life-changing attitude, and for that wonderful 3.6-pound loss!! That is awesome!!

It's great to have this W.I.S.H. board. Keep posting, and you'll be amazed how encouraging these terrific folks can be!

Way to go!! 3.6 already is great! And it sounds like you have a good plan in place, with doing JC to ease into the planning and then switching to WW later on. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?!
