Weight Watcher Update

I wanted to update our weight loss journey. I hit my goal weight (130) the week before Christmas and have spent the last six weeks maintaining that weight. The maintenance phase of weight watchers was a lot harder than I had anticipated. There is something much more satisfying about stepping on the scale and having lost 2 pounds than gaining and losing every other week. I had my lifetime weight in last Sunday and wore heavy boots so that I weighed enough to fit in my four pound weight range. The good news is I am now a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and don't have to pay ever again to attend a meeting. I feel like I have learned a lot from Weight Watchers about having a healthier relationship with food. I love to eat and still do but I feel like my emotional eating and eating to feel happy has been curbed as I learned to eat healthy portion sizes. The added benefit of this is I have lost 18 pounds. My new goals are to get to the gym twice a week and make it to a Weight Watchers meeting 3 times a month. Glenn stopped counting points a long time ago and tries to make healthy choices when he feels like it. This is frustrating to me as I am a control freak and want him to follow the plan but I am trying to let go. I guess he is doing something right because he is weighing in at around 180. He still says he wants to be 175 but I think he is too skinny already. I wanted to make sure that this was floating around the internet as incentive to stay at our goal weights.
