I will just cut to the chase...pretty much the entire month of January I threw every resolution I had right out the window! Some consciously and some subconsciously. For those who know me on a personal level, you probably have a good idea to what drove me to "binge" like I did. I even appropriately named that time, "Junk-Fest January". Not only did I start feeling like completely garbage (because, let's face it, that's pretty much what I was eating) but I noticed the progress I had in my weight loss was quickly diminishing.

I knew when I had ordered a large pizza with cheesy garlic bread all to myself that there could be a deeper issue to all this face-stuffing. I am not one to deny that I tend to turn to food for emotional support but, during this "Junk-Fest January" I realized that this wasn't okay and the habit truly needed to be broken. Because I knew this was an issue of mine, and have tried other methods in the past to help the problem, I knew attacking the issue on my own wasn't going to work.
After multiple conversations with my lovely cousin and one of my best friends regarding their positive experiences with Weight Watchers, I decided to join. I know that the program is not a "cure all" and I still need to learn how to handle my emotional eater issue (say that 5 times fast) but I do believe it will help guide me in the right direction and the meetings I am able to attended will offer that extra moral support (from those who are dealing with the same issues).
Wish me luck!
