A year ago today I started WW and joined BCB, then I weighed 242, had a BMI of of 34, was wearing a size 18/20.....
This wasn't the first time I had been on WW...I'd lose 10-20 lbs then quit, but I had promised myself this time it was going to be different...
I had grand plans a year ago...I would hit goal within 6 months....I never thought I would hit a plateau and if I did I would jusst quit, and I certainly never thought I would struggle to stay OP.....And exercise? Me? Never! Drink water? Ah...maybe.....
Well here I am now a year wiser, still not at goal, but that's okay cause I am now at 196, with a BMI of 27, and wearing size 12/14...I have hit a plateau (5 months) and I did not quit, I did not give up (though at times I wanted to) and I have had days where I have struggled to stay OP...I have learned that I can not measure my success by others success, that I can eat out if I choose to, that even though I don't think i will love exercise I love the way it makes me feel...And water...I can't live with out it!!!!!
A year ago, I was still in dream mode, I wanted to lose weight, but I couldn't think of goal in terms of reality, it was just to hard to envision, I was to unsure of myself.....Now I know I will get to goal (I am hoping that by the time next August 4th rolls around I will be claiming lifetime!)
I have meet some pretty wonderful people along the way...who with something they have said has helped me stay OP when the going has gotten tough, or maybe it was a somthing they told about their own struggles that hit home with me...The support I have gotten here overwhelms me at times, and I know without you guys I would have never made it through the first three months much less a year.....
Here's to the next year!!!!
