What better day to start a weight loss diary than on the day that Kevin Smith gets kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for being too fat. How embarrassing for him!!I'm not going to get into any major arguments over this but there has been a change in the seat dimensions over the years (at 292 pounds-YEARS ago, I fit with no issue but as I lost weight, the seats seemed more snug on United in particular). On the other hand, I also wouldn't want to have paid for a seat that I now have to share with someone else the size of me. So I'm conflicted... When I fly alone, I won't need an extra seat, if I'm flying with my boyfriend (another fatty..I luvs me the cuddly men!), I may just look into purchasing the whole row so we can just laugh at the people on stand-by hoping to get to their 3rd cousin's wedding saying "ohhh NOW you want to sit with us!! Bwahahahahahahaha!!". Sorry, got carried away. For my portly friends, might I recommend Virgin or Jet Blue.. they seem to have more room to spare. Kevin, Virgin would never do you like that!
But on to the first blog of my weight loss diary! I come to you now, a proud member (for the millionth time) of Weight Watchers and ready to do this. I can't remember when, but I did weigh 292 pounds. I'm now at 245.4 after starting weight watchers again back in September at 252. As of today, I'm down 6.6 pounds since September 19. This is a tough, slow road, but I must remind myself that at one time, I weighed 292. I will never be that big again and it's time to set the smaller goals.
Next goal: 239. It sounds strange but I feel like once I get into the "30's", there's no going back to the "40's". Just like there's no going back to 292..
Until next time...

U always inspire me to get my lazy ass to the gym. And I agree seats are too little. I completely understand the "once I get to the 30's" part, i wanna get down to the ...well Im not comfortable posting hahaha. But i totally understand u on that.
A blog! I never would have enough to say in a blog. LOL Funny that you start it on Fat Tuesday...coincidence??? Since I haven't been a practicing Catholic in a while and haven't "given up" anything in recent memory, I wasn't planning on it this year but saw that my friend was giving up burger, fries and chips which then inspired me to do something for Lent. Since chocolate is my nemesis, that might be something I give up but I will think about something I want to also do in addition to that to be a better person. Give me a few to think about that. I blew off WW last night because this week, I'm feeling "Eh". I almost never miss a meeting. Today, I'm going to the gym on my lunch and will get back to tracking since I didn't do it last week due to both my birthday and Valentine's Day. I'm sure my points were off the charts. I want to have a hot bod when I go home in the fall, dammit! Hugs to you, Charlene!!!
