3 Comments Losing weight??
Several people I know have posted about weight issues recently, and one of my best friends is encouraging me to join Weight Watchers. I have to admit I am one of those people who has felt like losing weight is something out of my reach. This mindset is really part of a much larger problem of feeling for most of my life that I am outside of the world around me and am somehow separated from all of the normal people who know what is expected of them and have the ability to do those things.
I have been slowly learning over the last few years that I am my own person with ideas and opinions, and that it is okay to let people see me and know who I am. This realization, however, also requires me to accept that I can exert control over the various areas of my life and am not only a product of my past, but also of my own choices and actions.
Whoa, this is getting way too deep! What I am really wanting to know is what you all think about Weight Watchers. I have reached a point where there are health concerns that I need to address, and I know losing weight would improve those things as well as my general quality of life.

I know two ladies who have successful Weight Watcher stories. One of which now teaches Weight Watcher classes. According to them the diet is easy, but like any other plan you also have to work out. They both look amazing (and both go to our church). I however have never tried it.
Ha.. Losing weight has been my lifelong goal……I lose it and gain it, lose it and gain it.
I will say that Weight Watchers has always proven to be something that encourages me that it is possible, and that I can actually EAT.. and HOW to eat. The accountability and guidance from the counselor is good… and the weekly meetings are not unlike a church service that encourages you in your spiritual “body”. IF you get a person leading the meetings who is inspirational…..it’s great.
I love your blog.
Hi again. I really enjoy your blog.
I did try weight watchers, but it was not for me. I do not do well with measuring and weighing portions nor with calorie counting.
Then again, in weight watchers, you meet with a group in a large room. All the clicks of friends come together and sit together. I was by myself and felt like a wall flower. I tried to fit in, but no one seemed to want to meet new people there.
So, I have done better with a program that goes with one on one sessions once a week and offers pre-packaged meals. The meals are not mandatory. They have a meal plan you can prepare your own.
It is funny. I just finished writing a post on my blog “Be the weight you want” ( http://betheweightyouwant.com ) on why do you want to lose weight. My next post I plan to write about accepting yourself. Anyway, I thought you might want to read it.
Love you, your OKIE Aunt
