Two years ago I lost 40 pounds by joining Weight Watchers, working out at least five times a week, sometimes more, and totally revamping my diet.
To say that I have “fallen off” the wagon would be like saying that Paris Hilton loves the limelight. Talk about major understatement. I have since gained back all the weight I lost, and then some, and I’m sure that this extra weight that I’m carrying is making my recovery from simple knee surgery all the more difficult.
And if I ever I needed a prod to get off my cushy tushy and get in gear again, now I see that airlines want to charge larger folks extra if they take up more room than they should in their seat. How embarrassing. With a 10th wedding anniversary trip coming up later this year, the last thing I want to worry about is paying a fat tax at the airport.
So Weight Watchers, here I come. Again.
I chose the Wii Fit instead of Weight Watchers. Granted I now pay enough doctors to tell me what I can and can’t eat that you would think I was an 80 year old man in a 29 year old body. But the Wii Fit has saved me a gym membership. Between my stellar medical team and my little Mii hula hopping thousands of spins in a 10 minute set and yogaing in private, I have lost 15 pounds in the 2 months since my “escape” from the hospital. Oddly enough, I had to spend almost as much as I paid for the dress in alterations and slips just because I was sick, lost weight, and had to fit into it again. There is irony for you.
