Well, here I am again. Trying to lose weight. Honestly, it's not even about how much I weigh (which is a whole lot). It's about being healthy and feeling better. I feel terrible. Hot all the time. Tired all the time. I can't paint my own toenails. I'm out of control with my eating. Basically, the same thing I've been writing about since 2010.
That's a long time.
Too long. My oldest son is 19 years old, and I've been fat his entire life.
At the end of last year, I had some minor complications with my heart. Basically, my cardiologist told me that the issue is entirely dependent on my blood pressure. I need to keep it low, so I'm on two medications for it. He also told me that I need to lose weight and suggested I try a variation of Keto, but minus all the high fat. I have failed drastically. Almost 6 months later, and I weigh the same, if not more.
A few months ago, I was feeling frantic and just desperate for a solution. On a whim, I signed up for Weight Watchers...er, WW. Did you know that Weight Watchers isn't Weight Watchers anymore? They have rebranded themselves as WW. Wellness Wins. The plan has changed a lot since I had first tried it almost 20 years ago. It's clean eating. Low carb if I limit fruit. Pretty much spot on with what my cardiologist wants me to do, but I do have some flexibility. So I signed myself up for 6 months on the online program. For the past few months, I've paid Weight Watchers WW $20 for absolutely nothing.
No more. I started today AGAIN, and I'm documenting it here in hopes that it will hold me accountable. If I write it, I must do it, right? Let's hope so.
