A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu

This quote perfectly sums up how I feel about today.  Today I started a new journey.  I joined WW (formerly Weight Watchers.  I am tired, I am sore, I get winded turning over in bed. I am 45, too young to feel like this. 

Why now? Why WW?  I saw myself in on a security screen at Walmart.  My son hugged my and couldn't put his arms all the way around my body.  Even while looking up, I have a double chin.  I am so unhappy with how I feel and how I look.  I want to have energy. I want to be able to run five feet without feeling like I may pass out.  I want to be able to clean my house without sweating buckets. I start today.

My brain tells me I'm still hungry, but my body isn't asking for more food.  I read an article yesterday about a 21 year old girl that lost 100 lbs using WW.  It was inspiring to me because she described feeling just like I do. I know I can do this.
