Totally understand. We all do it; we all have to watch what we eat and exercise to stay fit. The whole, "she has good genes and that's why she's so thin" isn't really true. Someone with an identical twin can be 100 lbs heavier if she/he doesn't watch what she/he eats. We all have to do count calories or points or eat more veggies; that's what the Biggest Loser show taught me. I watched it faithful the first few seasons---now I don't watch it as much, but it taught me an important lesson, eat well and stay active equals a "healthy" you, not what your "genetics" may or may not be. Genetics main influence is what our parents physically "taught" us to eat. Healthy is such a relative word too because 120 lbs may be healthy for one person while 145 lbs may be healthy for another. You're very courageous to make this post, but I think it's AWESOME! I think it shows a very strong, ready-for change and self aware you. I love it! Good luck!
PS: What gym did you join?

Hey Nikki! I know exactly what you mean. I've tried Weight Watchers, which totally works but then I get so dang sick of counting points. And calories. And everything else, ha :) I've been thinking about getting back on the wagon though, because I have about 15-20 pounds that I need to lose. Only thing - I am not going to weigh at all. I'm going to COMPLETELY focus on my eating habits and on my physical activity. It's going to be SO WEIRD, but I'm hoping it helps me pay attention to the important stuff rather than a number. Good luck to you :)
