Welcome to Weight Watchers
I had basically been a size 8 my entire life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but when I was 35,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I started eating compulsively. What did I eat? Name it. I liked salty, crunchy things nuts and chips and things like that although I wouldn't say no to a piece of chocolate. I gained 10 pounds a year for five years. It was devastating. I'd always loved clothes, but I started to hate shopping. I felt like the salespeople were looking down on me. I became withdrawn and cranky. I stopped exercising. I didn't have a social life. Finally, when I'd just turned 40 and was about to go from a size 12 to a 14, I realized it was time to do something: I refused to be this chubby, middle-aged, invisible person.
Facing the Scale
I decided to try Weight Watchers, but I was very nervous. I didn't even know what I weighed at that point, and I didn't want to know. But there was a Meeting right near my office, so I went and weighed in that first day. It was depressing. But the Leader was really nice, so I decided to stay and see how it went.
My Leader and the other people in my Meeting have been essential. They offer great substitutions for foods I used to eat, as well as words of wisdom. For example, somebody said something recently in a Meeting that struck a chord with me: There's a difference between a binge and a splurge. A binge is when you're completely out of control; a splurge is when you plan to indulge yourself with a great meal or a candy bar, and save some POINTS® values for it. There's nothing wrong with a splurge now and then.
Exercising Again
Before I gained weight, I'd always walked a lot and done crunches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hand weights and leg lifts. About a month after I joined Weight Watchers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I started exercising again, taking it easy at first. I'll walk one day and do toning exercises the next, and I gradually increased the distance and number of repetitions. Now I work out for about 45 minutes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], five or six days a week.
When it's too cold to walk outside, I'll use Tae Bo tapes. I wouldn't call Tae Bo fun the first time I tried it, I thought, "I'm in pain!" but it's very high-energy, and it exercises every single part of your body in a short amount of time.
Not Everyone Offers Encouragement
Before I started losing weight, I had been wallpaper, but suddenly people were starting to notice me.
At first, a lot of people at work were telling me how great I looked, but the more weight I lost, the more people started giving me a hard time about it, telling me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "You're getting too skinny." But I knew my weight was within a healthy range. One guy even told me I looked better when I was 15 pounds heavier.
Pursuing a New Love: Fashion
When I started losing weight, I started shopping again. I'd always loved clothes, but I began getting interested in the whole subject the different designers, how to predict trends. I started thinking, I'm spending all this time learning about fashion I should put it to some constructive use. Why not make a change?
Now I'm taking courses in fashion merchandising management. I never would have had the nerve to do it before Weight Watchers. Now I know I can do anything.
Before: I used to eat salty stuff all day long. I could eat a whole can of cashews in one sitting.
After: I'll eat vegetables or baked tortilla chips with salsa, or carrots and celery sticks with hummus.
Before: I'd pig out on sweets after dinner,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
After: I make it a point to always have some kind of fruit that I really like at home right now I'm into fresh pineapple to satisfy those cravings.
Before: I didn't feel attractive. I didn't see why anybody would want to go out with me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
After: I have a great boyfriend!
Before: The only thing I could stand to shop for was shoes, but if you don't have nice clothes to go with them, buying shoes isn't fun either.
After: I'm a shopaholic again, and I can even shop sample sales!
Before: I never cooked.
After: I have a collection of Weight Watchers cookbooks, and I cook all the time.
Before: My self-consciousness kept me from going after what I wanted in life,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
After: Knowing that I had the discipline and control to lose weight gave me the confidence to change other aspects in my life too.
