I've
become a Weight Watchers member...again. I’ve always been a little overweight,
especially in comparison to my friends. It’s never really been that much of an
issue to me – my friends, boyfriend and family all seem to love me regardless
of my body shape - however it’s got to the point where I no longer love me
regardless of my body shape. That’s a sad thing for me to admit but it’s also a
great thing to admit; now I know that I feel that way, I have 100% more
motivation to do something about it, compared to 6 months ago, when I knew I
wasn’t completely happy with how I looked, but I was happy to
plod along through life, ignoring it. I did sign up to Weight Watchers Online
at some point, maybe mid-May? But without the motivation to lose weight, it
never really worked for me, so come October, I cancelled my account and put the
£10 that I would’ve spent on membership each month towards a beauty box
subscription (JolieBox, for those who are interested).
Fast
forward to a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to give it another go (not just
because of the constant emails I was always receiving from Weight Watchers,
despite cancelling my account). I must admit, I did well for the first 4 days
and then sort, well, fell off the bandwagon. I blame it completely on my lack
of routine; I spend some time at home with mum, some time at my boyfriend’s house
and now I am back in Oxford for the last term of Uni…before going home again
for my birthday on Thursday…and then back to Uni on Monday…and then to London
the week after…you see? No structure! I have told myself that from next Monday,
I WILL stick to it and I WILL ultimately find myself with a body I’m happy
with. Basically, I want to not dread that moment when Facebook tells me
'So-and-so has tagged you in _ photos' (don't we all?).
I’ve
decided I’ll do a weekly weigh-in post, probably titled ‘Wednesday Weigh-In’ or
something terrible like that. Will I stick to it? I hope so! I feel that if I
make a commitment to something like this through such a public forum, I’ll have
even more motivation to stick to it. That, and all those amazing spring/summer
trends that keep popping up in my email inbox.
Hopefully
doing it the online way will avoid situations like this one...
Wish me luck!
