Hooray for Me!

This past year I have been working on something very difficult...LOSING WEIGHT! I have always struggled with my weight, but I think this last YEAR (yes, one whole YEAR!) was the hardest battle I have ever had with it. Maybe it is because I am older now and have had 2 children & struggle with some personal issues??!! I don't know. But I do know that I can be proud of one thing...I NEVER gave up. One year ago at the beginning of October, I signed up with Weight Watchers and I promised myself that I would never give up. Well, to celebrate my one year mark, I wanted to tell the world that I have lost 25 pounds! Some people could probably lose that same amount in 6 months, but I have never been one to take a shortcut:) I am so delighted to say I kept my promise to myself and it feels so incredibly wonderful! I absolutely love Weight Watchers and I can't say enough about the program. I had a lot of ups and downs and sometimes I thought it was impossible for me to lose weight. I still have about 10 more pounds to lose, but I had to take a moment to reflect on this past year and celebrate in a non-food way!!! The photo above was taken by Luke a few months ago when I won an award at WW. I have since lost a few more pounds. I am so excited and feel so good! I can honestly say...I worked my tail off:)
