A few months ago, I told myself that 2009 would be different. This would be the year that I would get serious about dieting and exercising in order to lose the massive amount of weight I gained over the last ten years (since 11th grade). I’ve been contemplating joining Weight Watchers in order to keep the food portion under control and learn how to eat more healthy foods without over doing it.

I like this idea because it doesn’t involve diet pills, it seems to have a good success rate in regards to weight lose, and you can attend meetings for support or do it online in the convenience of your home. The only thing stopping me is the unknown. It’s the same unknown that hasn’t allowed me to sign up for the gym like I want too. I’ve never been apart of a health/fitness club or gym. Exercising is foreign to me when it comes to knowing what to do, how much of X to do and knowing when to stop so you don’t over do yourself. I have a gym in mind, I just need to drive over there and get a tour and information about it.

Aside from the above and at the time not having money – now I do – I have no excuses except I’m afraid. However, being healthy and losing weight = better life and happiness…so I need to get a move on. I’m aiming for the first of the month.
