"Could you bring home take-out"

last week i started this crazy starvation diet, with images of a thinner me pushing me forward through 4 days eating less than 500 cal per day. monday night, starving and frustrated, i had a slight emotional breakdown. okay it wasn't so slight. i decided to quit the diet. tuesday morning i woke up and was feeling okay, and by okay i only mean that i wasn't ready to start eating my children, so i decided that i would take my kids to school and then make a decision about sticking with the diet or not. i dropped my older 4 kids off at school and headed to drop my 3 year old off at pre-school. he goes to school at a lutheran church near our house. when i got there just before 9:00 i saw that there was a weight watchers meeting starting at 9:30. i'm sure that the meeting has been there at that time all along but i've never noticed it before because my son went to a classroom right by the front door. due to low enrollment his class has been combined with the class down stairs. to get to his new classroom we walk right past the weight watchers sign in area. it was a sign. i dropped mckay off at his class room and headed back upstairs and registered for weight watchers. i haven't been hungry, i've been sooo much happier, and i'm feeling super motivated. i know i'm in the honeymoon fase, but i think this plan is something i can live with long term. i'm back to working out everyday and i feel great. i've even been cooking and not hateing it. i'm really exited!!
