Ok so I know I’ve said I would look forward and work each day one step at a time, but to inspire me, I looked at my Weight Watchers history. I figure if people can go on nation wide tv and show their weight, I could blog about mine. Besides not many people read this, but maybe one day they will and I can inspire them.<\/p>\n
Here’s a little background. I’m five feet tall. Depending on who is checking my height, you can add a 1\/2 inch to an inch. Crazy I know. Any way, when I started my journey it was June 6, 2011. My first weigh in put me at 168.4. Man I was embarrassed! I looked at some old pictures and can actually see the weight now. But I didn’t at the time it was happening. I didn’t even realize I was buying larger sizes. I’m sure that’s true of many people.<\/p>\n
Well I continued to count points and attend the Weight Watchers Meeting. By July 4th just shy of a month from starting I lost 5% of my weight. A milestone with Weight Watchers as they too aim for baby steps. It’s never healthy to lose too fast. Success leads to motivation and by September 5th, I had dropped 10% of my body weight. I couldn’t be happier and people started to notice and I almost dropped a pants size! Then Merry Christmas to me, on 12\/26\/2011 I was down to 144.7 and one pants size. 23.7 pound lost, incredible!<\/p>\n
Think about two bags of sugar, or two bags of flour, that’s what I lost! I was thrilled. I was rocking it. Then, I’m not sure what happened. Many changes were starting to take place in my life and I didn’t Handle it well. Like many before me, and many yet to come, the way I dealt with feelings was by eating. Eat when I’m happy, eat more when I’m sad , eat again because I’m bored. It’s one of those addictions that people over look.<\/p>\n
So when I weighed myself on the scale, to really start counting again I weighed in at 155.5 not to bad from where I started. I’m still 12.9 pounds from where I began, but 10.8 pounds from my greatest success. <\/p>\n
My plan of attack is to only shoot for those extra 10.8 pounds! Then start looking for my goal weight, which was determined by my Doctor when this all began. So you may ask, what my goal weight is. I’m happy to tell you. I’m shooting for 128. That’s just 27.5 more pound to shed. See why I only want to aim for that 10.8. Once I reach that goal I only have 16.7 pounds to go, which I can break down into smaller goals.<\/p>\n
Again I will still keep my chin and continue day by day. I will reach my goal, I will be in my high school pants size. I will live long enough to see my great great grandchildren. I hope you are all there with me. By the way, Weight Watchers is real food and foods I enjoy. Moderation baby!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
