Weigh-in for March 18, 2009: Starting over

Current weight: 312.4
Difference from last entry: ???
Difference from 2009 starting weight (316.6): -4.2

So another year, another beginning. I decided that I needed to stop depressing myself by seeing just how far off I went in 2008. That means wiping the slate clean. I am starting out a new weight chart (though I am keeping the weight chart I’ve had running since ’97), and resetting my weight to my first Weight Watchers weigh-in of the year (316.6 pounds). From this point on, I am holding myself accountable.

The bummer is that, over the course of 2008, I gained back 18 pounds. Even though I am going to try to ignore that, I am not stupid. And my memory isn’t that bad. I’ll need to work at this a few months just to undo what I did last year. I hate that I once again let myself go. I am proud of myself for realizing what is going on, and forcing myself back to Weight Watchers, especially when I really don’t want to. I could’ve just ignored this and ended up heavier than when I started Weight Watchers at Work in 2007.

2008 is behind me, for better or for worse. 2009 is going to be my year!
