Tip #3: Pick a resource.

Tip #3: When you have decided that you truly ARE ready for a lifestyle change and you have received the financial go-ahead from your spouse - decide which resource you will start with. In my experience, starting with one resource at a time is important. To hire a nutritionist and a personal trainer and join the gym and join a weight loss program is TOO MUCH!! I know me too well. To rely on more than one resource in the beginning would send me straight down the path of failure. So I chose Weight Watchers. I had joined once before AND a good friend of mine was currently a leader of a WW class in Rochester. I naturally started with the "I'M READY" phone call to her and since that time in December 209, I attended approximately 40 Monday night meetings. Yep, it's a financial ($40/month) AND a time commitment. That was one less evening I got to spend with my family... and considering I already wasn't able to spend two other weekday-evenings with them, the commitment was harder than I ever imagined. BUT, if you ask Josh and Hailey if they regret me being gone all those Monday nights - they would say NO WAY.... because they got their mom/wife back!!!!!
