My first Blog!

I have decided to post a blog so that all of you may join me in my weight loss journey. With the help of Google and my wonderful husband, I begin this blog...

My name is Jessica and I am an over eater. There I said it! I am currently on a quest to conquer this bad habit. I am doing Weight Watchers, which is a great program. Thus far I have lost 32.4 pounds. I have been on this journey my entire life, but in April 2007 I began to get serious. My husband is an amazing encouragement! He is always telling me that he loves me, weight loss or not. But I must say there is nothing like seeing his proud smile when I come home on Thursdays after my weight watcher meetings and tell him I have lost!

I must admit there is a part of me that is scared. Why? you ask. Well this is who I have been all my life. I have always been the"fat friend". It is what I know. I wonder if I will still be me, do I really know who "me" is? Will I still make people laugh or will I loose all my funniness when I loose the weight?

Ok, well I suppose this will be it for my first entry. Thanks to all who are sharing in this journey. It helps to share this as it keeps me accountable.

God Bless,
