My life in a nutshell right now. I joined Weight Watchers, I am turning 40 in a few weeks, and well I just enjoy drinking wine.
I am quite happy with this declaration of self. I have never gone on a "diet" before, and I really don't look at this as a diet. So far so good, good tools, I am enjoying it, it is making me accountable for what I eat, since what I can eat has changed a bit through the years. As I announced to my family I joined because I would like a better me. The me of a few years back.
Because, warning I am turning 40. I am making a bigger deal of it then what it really means to me. I will wake up on my birthday feeling like me inside, which if you ask those closest to me has not changed much since I was 18. I would like to be as mentioned above back in better shape and sort of being how I look on the outside to match a bit on the inside (although I am not talking about looking like the Jersey Shore). I believe in age appropriateness, just looking good at it.
So, I am excited about all of this. I think 40 is sweet. I could use a bit of portion control in my life, so I like Weight Watchers ( it sounds like such a mommy thing to do) which is ok - I am a mom. However, I find as I do get older, I really covet my wine. I do not drink it everyday, but when I have it with a good meal and good company or just sit quietly by the fire it is just divine to me. It is just a little life pleasure.
I am sure I will be posting more about this, the whole weight watchers, turning 40, feeling better thing. Sort of all surreal to me, since inside I am still 18 or I should say 21 so I could legally be able to drink my wine.
