I am having a really big problem and I am not sure how do handle it, I am looking for some help. I have been doing WW for about 3 years and have lost a good amount of weight that I am very happy about. My biggest problem is my self body image. You are going to think I am weird, but I have a very positive self body image and I think it is hurting my weight loss. I have never been one to sit in front of the mirror and say yuck I hate this or I hate that. I feel there are other people out there that talk about my over weight body why should I. I have read the Dr.Phil book, all sorts of different magazines, and even the WW leaders talk about how to change your negative thinking in to positive. I think because I do have a positive image of myself I am not totally ready to lose weight. They say everyone reaches their breaking point and say enough is enough; well I am still waiting for mine. When I joined I was 270 and what brought me to WW was not to get bigger. I also don’t eat out if emotions, I almost wish I did so I could explain why I am so big. I just love food and love eating. Has anyone else felt this way now or ever? I hope to hear from you and hear what has helped you. Sorry this post is so long. I am going to bed now good night.

I think I should start at the beginning of my weight loss life so when I look back I can see where I came from. I joined weight watcher at an at work program I think in 2003 (this date maybe and could be wrong). The reason why I decided to join was not a weight loss one but a weight gain one. I know I’m weird. But really I went to the doctors and I was 270 and I promised myself that if I couldn’t lose the weight at least do something and NOT gain any more!
Well I have kept this promise to myself and in the mean time I have lost 51 pounds. I am very happy and proud of my weight loss, but now it is time to lose the rest of my weight (at this point I have 60 pounds to go). I am using this blog as my next stepping-stone to my weight loss.
Until my next blog I will leave myself with this, It’s not how much weight I have to remove, it’s not how fast I remove the weight, it’s not even how good I will look in a bathing suit that will make me happy, all the above doesn’t matter unless I have my health.
