My First Post......

Well, I've decided to do something drastic, and joined Slim 4 Life. A weight loss clinic. The plan is very restrictive. They tell me how much to eat. They give me supplements to increase my metabolism. They basically lay everything out, and then I follow it.

It is less flexible than Weight Watchers. And I weigh in 3 x week. YIKES!

I'm ready for this challenge, I'm ready to take this on. I will do it. I have to. This weight is just holding me down. I feel/look awful. Most of my energy is wasted thinking about all this extra lbs, it consumes all my thoughts. I worry about things. I worry about what my husband thinks of me. What my kids think, wonder when they will call me "fat". It scares me, and I hope they never do.

I hope to do well on this plan. I go in at 4:30pm today for the medical part and the actual signing up. I will need the strength to do this....it will take a full year. But I can do it, and really want to do it. It is necessary for my peace of mind.

Randy is on board with this. He is very supportive. I am thankful for that.

Now wish me luck!

Along with checking in with Slim 4 Life counselors 3x week, I hope to use this blog to be my sounding board. Ok?
