Yay weight loss.  I think I am going to join Weight Watchers soon.  I am pretty excited.  Now that I am not in college anymore (weird)  I need to find some weight loss support and structure.  Hopefully Weight Watchers will provide that.  So yeah…more on this later!

Btw, you’re not fat, you’re obese. Wow, worst comment ever.  From someone I don’t even know.    I mean, it might be true, but does saying this in a mean way make a person feel better about themselves?
