Sigh... Time to start again

Sigh... this journey starts again.

Yes, this is about the third or fourth (or maybe fifth) time that I've started this journey.  Hopefully this is the last time - or at least the last time before I have kids (which is years away).  I've been able to maintain the weight loss before so I have no reason not to think that I can't again this time.

My biggest frustration is my lack of motivation this time around.  The first time I lost weight, I was super motivated.  I was ready to lose weight and be healthy.  All of the perks that came with dropping 30+ lbs were awesome.  My legs and arms were toned.  I got to buy cute new clothes.  Workout clothes finally looked (kind of) cute on me.  I ran a 10 mile race... twice!  I know how good "skinny" feels.

So, why can't I get back there??  What is holding me up??  I don't know.

Along with a friend, I joined WW this week.  We're going to separate weekly meetings but will be meeting up at least once a month to go together.  Having her support is huge.  We've both been on this journey before, so we both understand what it takes to get to where we want to be.  I'm hoping that having the weekly meeting support is the key to my success.  Stay tuned!
