Life moves on

So I signed up for Weight Watchers and I tracked my points came really close to meeting them and didn't surpass them and even earned activity points a couple of days...had one day where I had ice cream at stone cold and what do I have to show for my first week...a gain of 1/5th a pound...that's right folks I get healthier and get fatter? I know I'm sure it's water weight but ARGH! This this is the exact reason I am finally researching weight loss surgery...this is the story of my life! All the way back into high school. I fnally get the bulimia under control rather than it controlling me and start hitting the gym with some guy friends and start living off of salad...and I gain 40lbs in about 3 months...I visit the Dr and they attempt to explain again about my PCOS and how it can mess up my metabolism, um gee ya think?! But they have no answers as to what to do to control it at that time... Oh and of course I was diagnosed with influenza A w/h1n1 symptoms yesterday so I'm stuck at home until Thursday...so I'm missing class and feeling horrible and it's just a horrible, terrible no good day so far. I'm super grumpy as well. But I am still tracking my points...

First Step in the Millionth Journey

Okay so I've picked back up the weight loss journey. I've made two steps this morning. Step 1 I set an appt with my Dr to discuss various options and get blood work. Of course since I'm not sick I can't see her for about 3 weeks. So step 2 I have officially joined Weight Watchers. I also weighed so I have a start weight. Some how I've managed to drop a few pounds from my all time high. We'll see what I can manage between now and the appt. I've set the appt cause it is time for my A1C and because I'm also looking into weight loss surgery...I'm at the point where I need to lose half of myself and I need help. I've talked to several friends who've had this that or the other surgery. I realize it isn't an answer but it is a springboard. I've tried so many things over the years and they just never last. I've done weight watchers and seen short term success with it before but I've never joined. So now I've joined and we'll move ahead. I figure the WLS will take forever to get approved for anyway...so if I manage to be successful for more than a month and am making significant progress on my own then I can always not move ahead with the surgery.
