So while I’ve had a great few months running around the northwest of England with my amazing boyfriend FIANCE! (that’s right! I’m engaged! but that’s another story for another post) this has led to some neglect in other parts of my life.
I stopped running. I felt (oh, who am I kidding – FEEL) really self-conscious being around a bunch of fit 18 year olds. I don’t want to run. I don’t want people to look at me. This is the same issue I had when I wanted to start running a year ago. And I need to put my big girl pants on and getthehelloverit. Because, really, no one pays attention. When I’m out and I see people running, whether they’re in shape or working to get there, I don’t think a thing about it. (Well, actually, I’m jealous). So I’m assuming most people are the same.
And I quit WW. I live in a dorm, and eat dining hall food, and I told myself there was no way to stay on plan because of that. That’s just not true. It is true that I often eat the worst options there but there are AMAZING options as well, that would let me stay OP. I just chose not to eat them.
While the jeans I brought with me still fit, they are a bit tighter, and that’s a no-go.
I have a lot to look forward to – the fiance and I are going home in April, where I will try on wedding gowns and have engagement pics taken. I want to feel good and not be miserable for some of the most exciting events in my life.
I went to weightwatchers.co.uk and found a WW meeting that is close to campus and convenient on Tuesdays. I will print out the coupon on Monday and march myself in there on Tuesday. I will also stop eating french fries for dinner.
So glad to see this post! I rejoined WW in December and have had amazing success on the new program. I’ve lost 13.8 pounds in 2 months, and am LOVING it. Keep bloggging!
Ohhh that’s good to hear! I’ve been a little nervous about the new program, so I’m glad to hear you’ve liked it!!!
I’m glad to be back. I missed blogging and running and healthy eating. always feel so much better when I’m in control of that stuff.
I agree with Beth–I miss your blog posts! Congrats on the engagement, by the way! I can’t wait to see the photos =)
Katie – thank you! I’ll be posting photos probably on the next post.
I;m so happy to be back, I’ve missed blogging. 
You go girl. The first step is the biggest for sure. Love you
You go girl!!! Get in there and kick some BUTT!!!!!
Welcome back! and CONGRATS on your engagement. You’ll love the new plan.
welcome back girl!!! i too asked weight watchers to take me back three weeks ago now…and it’s going well. getting a handle on my portion sizes still makes me sad but i’m down 6.8 so it’s working. you’ll be hitting head first in no time!!
Congrats on the engagement! Welcome back to WW. The first step is always the hardest.
WW is really a good way to keep those pounds under control. Deciding to go back is a good indication of your willingness to really be in control of you weight.
Congrats on the engagement
