For the first time today I saw myself as the size I am

StacyJenniges

So I am on my second time on weight watchers and I am currently down 36 bls!  Other than a few times I have always been heavy.  I have always looked in the miror depressed with what I see.  Today I looked in the miror and I actually saw thaht I was smaller I didn't see the person I was 3 months ago.  It really makes me feel good.  

I have a total of 100 lbs to loose give or take.  I know I will not reach that weight by my wedding in october, but I now feel like I will be happy with the way I look in my wedding pictures. 

Also in the last week I have had 2 people contact me on Facebook wanting to learn more about WW and both of them have joined.  That makes me feel so good that I'm inspiring others to get healthy as well.

Wow! I saw your reply to my post and then your thread. Congratulations on your hard work!  Are you going to a WW place in your town or are you using their on-line program?

I go to WW meetings near my home.  I find that I personally cannot do this myself I need the meetings.

And thank you!  Good luck to you in what you decide to do!

This is my second time on WW also and i have about 80 lbs to lose. I know i'm not going to reach my goal for our wedding in october, but I have confidence that I will lose more than i have. I've only been on it for about a month and i've lost approximately 5 lbs. Hearing your story inspires me and helps me believe that I can do this! I think I need to hear something motivating to keep me going. Thank you for sharing this

Ooh I LOVE your attitude and wish I could learn to think like you.  Even when I lose weight and just recentlyl fit back into my dress perfectly with no alterations I was only happy for a minute.  That is such a downfall that I do not love myself more how I am at this moment.  But I guarantee if I was to gain weight I would spend countless hours downing myself.

Congratulations and you have totally inspired me to be happy with how I am now, not how I will look in 30 pounds..thank you
