Weight Watcher Wednesday- The Anniversary!!!

ITS BEEN A YEAR!!

Its actually been little over a year since I started Weight Watchers so its my 

1st Weight Watcher Wednesday Anniversary!!

As I look back at this past year and this journey, the first thing I realize is just how fast it has gone by. So I must have had some fun, right? I honestly did.

On one hand, it was a journey full of adjustments, frustrations, and disappointments at times.

 On the other hand, it was full of hope, learned control, proud moments and looser clothes!!

YAY!!!

 
I have to say I am very proud at what I have accomplished over this last year. More than losing the weight I have proven to myself that anything is possible if I put my mind to it.

 I have been dealing with my weight since I was a little girl, and before this year, I just kind of figured I would have to deal with being a plus size woman the rest of my life because losing weight was just so out of my reach. Its hard to do, but I did it!!

I DID IT!!!

My total loss for the year is 38 lbs

and

I have lost almost 4 pant sizes!!! (O.M.G!)

I could say soo much more, but I think I've taken you through my journey
 enough to know the ins and outs of my experience, but I want to share some pictures instead.

These pictures on the left are pictures from my 40th B-day party (one year ago this Friday).

 Thinking back, I couldn't wait to wear this dress..I loved it, and still do!

So, I figured the best way for me to see my change was to put the same dress on again last night,

  and have my son take a few pictures of me and compare them.

 

 

Ok, so there is a difference,
and it makes me happy to see it, but I also feel the difference in many ways. 

Not just in my clothes, but my spirit, and my energy!

But for me, I have so much more to go.
This process is NOT over!

My next goal is to reach WW Lifetime status and although I have some work to get there, 

 it is definitely attainable. I have to get there so I can keep those resources available to me

that will help me through those tough times and moments of weakness in the future.

In the meantime, I want to Thank all of you that took the time to stop by and read my WW Wednesday updates throughout the year.  I appreciate it more than you'll ever know and have felt your love and support through your comments. I've also been told by a few of you that I have inspired you to either join WW or to at least make a change in your lives. That's soo awesome!
Part of my goal in sharing these updates was to hopefully do just that,
so I am truly flattered and grateful.

As for the future of my updates, I will probably update on occasion but probably not as often as I have. And I hope to update whether its good or bad. Wish me luck!

Happy Weight Watcher Wednesday!

From my corner to yours...
