I'm loving the Weight Watcher's points plan! It took a few days to adjust my eating habits, but now I can easily stay within my daily points if I pay attention. I never thought I'd be one to like the weekly weigh-ins and meetings but so far I've been looking forward to them! At my first meeting, I was amazed to see people just like me talk about the stuff I think about all the time -- nighttime snacking, eating out, grocery shopping, etc. I love the tips from other members and each meeting charges me up for another week.

Anyway, I'm 27 years old, a recent college grad, and I just started my first real "career" job. I think I'll like the job once I learn it, but right now it's stressful, and I'm prone to emotional eating after a rough day. I've always had a weight issue but I've always convinced myself that it isn't that serious. Now I'm starting to think about my future health, about my family history (I've lost a grandmother and aunt to breast cancer), and about general fitness and strength to perform at my best. I love the Oxygen Fitness magazine and dream of looking like one of those buff magazine cover models. :-)
