Hi! I'm known as Katfuzz on the Weight Watcher message boards. I lurk and write on Challenge Central, and the 100+ boards for the most part. I post at times on all boards. :-)
Well my Road to weight loss started 5/1/03 when my mother passed away from years of illness as a result of obesity (diabetes, heart falure, to name a few but not all). I took care of her all those years she was sick, and when she died I felt like I couldn't go on either. I was depressed, and buried myself in more food to deal with the grief. I told my DH almost everyday that if I didn't do something soon I'd be 600lbs, and that I was miserable.
My Mom and I talked many times about trying WW (we tried everything). She was too sick to go to the meetings, and I was afraid to go by myself (silly I know). So after she passed away the thought came to me again to go to WW. 6/3/03 I looked up a local meeting on the computer, and the next day I took my terrified self to a meeting. I waited to the VERY last minute to go, then was second guessing myself in the parking lot. I then figured what did I have to loose but the weight. I'm glad I went. I left wondering how in the world I'd ever be able to loose the weight, but I decided to give it a week, and follow everything they told me to do (water, vegs, even a little exercise!?!?) I even ate out with DH that weekend (with in points). They had me hooked when I went back the next week, and lost 5lbs!!! And I did it without suffering, and starving! I have never looked back, now I just look forward to all the pounds just falling away and staying on the Road behind me.
I decided to try out my own Weight Loss Site after looking at many of the fellow WWers sites. Many have been inspirations. Good way to keep track, a road map to this journey I'm on. It has been a wonderful adventure so far. So I WELCOME you to my site, THANK YOU for stopping by. Hope you like it. :-)) Please sign my guest book on the way out! See you on the message boards!
