Growing up, I never really had a problem with weight. I played sports and even earned a volleyball scholarship at an NCAA Division 1 school after high school. I ate (a lot) of junk food with little consequence.
After graduation it was a whole new ball game. After getting married to my high school sweetheart, I landed a public relations job that required me to sit on my butt in front of a computer for most of the day. The pounds crept up slowly and before I knew it, I had gained ...
Growing up, I never really had a problem with weight. I played sports and even earned a volleyball scholarship at an NCAA Division 1 school after high school. I ate (a lot) of junk food with little consequence.
After graduation it was a whole new ball game. After getting married to my high school sweetheart, I landed a public relations job that required me to sit on my butt in front of a computer for most of the day. The pounds crept up slowly and before I knew it, I had gained 40 pounds in three years! Oy!
I tried Weight Watchers, but found myself obsessing over point values and was always hungry. I tried the Miami "Cookie Diet" and lost 25 pounds, only to gain it all back +10 when I started eating real food again. After a some searching, I found SparkPeople.
I know these 40 pounds didn't come on overnight - so it’s not going to disappear overnight. Tracking my calories is going to be very important to my future success. I am looking forward to the journey though!
