First Weight Watchers Meeting

So today I went to my first meeting. It was GREAT! I should have joined a long time ago. You know what's nice about actually joining it? Well, if you read my blog you might have noticed that I am determined to convince myself that I have changed. How many times have I said that tomorrow is a fresh start? It's a good thing of course because it shows that I never give up, but joining weight watchers really makes me relax on the inside because I trust in it, and I don't feel panicked about it like before. I don't feel like the whole thing is on my shoulders. I guess it's because since I put such a commitment into weight watchers (money, time, energy, and being weighed by other people), it's really easy to do it perfectly. Of course it's only the first day. But I did a lot of really great things today. For instance, I ate a cookie, and I split it in half and shared it with my friend. And I enjoyed the crap out of that cookie! It was seriously the best cookie I've EVER HAD!!

But yeah, the meeting was very inspirational. Really, I feel relaxed. That's the best way to describe it. I feel like I have a parent telling me what to eat. And the burden is totally lifted. This is really good. You know how I always say that I blog because it keeps me excited and obsessed about weight watchers so that I have the inspiration to go on. But it was so forced. So therefore it was exhausting. But I don't want to be obsessed with it. I want to be obsessed with my career and my life and all the things that are exciting. And today was a perfect model of what I want my life to be. I didn't think about weight watchers at all except when I was in the meeting, and then when I was deciding what to eat. And the lack of worry about food is giving me so much more time and energy to focus on the important things in life.

Also, I learned some things I didn't know, and I am making myself healthier on many different levels. Today I had 2 glasses of milk, 6 glasses of water, a multivitamin, healthy oil, exercise, 5 fruits and vegetables, and 2 servings of whole grain. And with a little focus on what I should eat, it takes the focus off of what I shouldn't eat. Also, after you feed your body the things it needs, you don't crave 20 cookies anymore.

So yeah, joining is the best idea I've had so far. It's so worth it.
