I'm ba-ack!

it's been a long 2 weeks with lots of changes and drama. but that's material for "my hollywood life" blog. so i have made a decision about losing weight. i'm gonna try weight watchers! my doctor told me that's the only program you lose the weight and keep it off. so i'm going to a meeting on tuesday. i'm gonna still be eating healthy of course and blogging more recipes. i'm also gonna blog about the weight watchers program and how well it works (or not).
