The real beginning
Mood:  irritated
My then friend Mark and I had discussed possibly joining Weight Watchers.  Then, one day he said we were going to go join.  I wasn't prepared!  I wasn't ready!  My insides were screaming~you're not ready!  I was scared and didn't want to go...but I did because I was too chicken to say anything....

I stepped on the scale.  329lbs!!!  I could not believe it.  I weighed more then I ever thought I would.  I weighed more then Mark did.

Over the course of the next year or so, I learned all about Weight Watchers and Mark and I went to the weigh ins every Thursday.  We never stayed for a meeting.  I lost about 56 lbs.  Then, our friendship ended.  I went to Weight Watchers for a few weeks by myself...but eventually dropped out.
