You mean the weight doesn't automatically come off?

I joined Weight Watchers - again - back in February.  I was saddened to realize, once again, that just because I joined, and got a monthly pass, and a tracking book, and a calculator, and e-tools, that the weight didn't just start melting off.  "OH!  You mean I have to write down what I eat AND stick to the allotted points??!"  I would track for a while and then stop and my weight came off and then crept back up again.  This past week I was extremely discouraged and thought, "This is just too hard, I can't do it!"  Then I went to an awesome WW meeting, got some great advice, and here I am trying it out once again.  I have cut out the BIG goals and am focusing on the small goals.  My goal for this week?  Write everything down that I eat (in my WW tracking book) and stick to the points.  And I'm remembering to take it one meal at a time and one day at a time.  So far so good.
If I fall (like I have done hundreds of times over the past few years) I will get back up again (like I have done hundreds of times over the past few years).  What I will NOT do is give up!
