So I joined Weight Watchers and my fiance and I joined the Y. I have about 8 months to go before my wedding, and I have been engaged for five months. I always told myself that as soon as I got engaged I would be on a hardcore diet and exercise plan. But I didn't and I didn't and I didn't and now I am trying but I have lost 5 months. I seriously wanted to lose like a hundred pounds before I even look at dresses. Obviously that isn't going to happen! There always seems to be some reason that I can't control what I eat (for example, went to see his family in NYC and we went to get Chinese and pizza and Italian food. I had no choice where we went for dinner!). I am trying desperately to hang on to the diet, and am going better, but I just can't seem to get myself to the Y more than once and twice a week. I'm not even working right now (I am a teacher, and was laid off like all the un-tenured teachers in NY!) so I should be able to devote myself to going to the gym. But instead I find myself watching MTV and playing the Sims. I have read all the motivation stuff written. I know what is at stake. Has anyone else been where I am? I need help! I refuse to try on plus-size dresses! All advice, stories of success, insults, criticism, cheers and jeers are welcome!!!
