Just what is a BH?
BH stands for Bitch Head. We don't remember where it came from.. All we know is that it was something we came up with in high school, when we were young and stupid. As opposed to now, where we are slightly less young and slightly less stupid. We have been friends for the better part of the last 22 (??) years, and we decided that we needed to share our adventures with the interwebs.
We have both struggled with weight and body issues and both have been members of Weight Watchers. Tracy became a lifetime member a few years back, and Marea just hit goal a little more recently. Marea will soon be a meeting leader, and Tracy is on the path back to her goal. We decided to publicly shame ourselves into staying in check by sharing our ups and downs with you, the readers. We will share successes, failures, recipes, fitness ideas, motivation, and whatever else we feel you just have to read. This blog is not intended to be a part of the Weight Watchers program, or anything else we write about, and we won't be the ones taking a lot of the pictures. We will try to give credit where it's due, but it's just a blog... so back off, copyright police.
Individually? We might share a brain, but we do have lives of our own.
Marea is a graphic artist, a wife, a mom, a wannabe chef, a wannabe runner/cyclist. She has a wonderful and supportive husband and two kids, ages 3 and 1.5. They were huge babies, and basically when she gave birth to the first one, she weighed ONE HUNDRED pounds more than she does today. Thanks to Weight Watchers and her attempt at becoming active, she's now at her goal weight, and her body fat percentage puts her in the 'athletic' range. Yahoo!
Tracy is employed full time, and is also a wife, a mom, a shamed wine lover, veggie hater, and clean freak. Her desire for ‘all or nothing’ caused her to lose sight of her lifetime goal accomplishment in replacement of another accomplishment, running a marathon. Then, after that nothing clicked again, and she keeps sliding on and off the WW wagon. She actually swears that she and BH can never be skinny at the same time. Well…that’s going to change…..now. Tracy grew up contstantly overweight and never with a good body image or diet. Weight watchers works for her because she’s picky, but needs to figure out how to balance it with also not always needing to be perfect.
