I joined the
National Weight Control Registry several years ago. Since gaining some of my weight back, I have
been avoiding their annual survey since 2014.
I am feeling better about my weight loss and maintenance over this last
year that I decided to complete the survey.
To
join the NWCR you must show you have lost at least 30 pounds and kept that
weight off for a least a year.
Since this is an annual survey, it is shorter
than the starting survey and it only looks at your current weight and your
weight last year.
I’m down 4 pounds from last year and I'm down 26.6 pounds from two years ago.
There was a series of true/false questions
and one asked:
My weight has hardly changed at all in the
last ten years?
Um…I wish!
I’ve been all over the place
within the last ten years.
Despite a few more ups than downs over the
last ten years, I am not 304 pounds. And
had I not had the courage to start my WW journey 11.5 years ago, I’d still be
304 pounds. Or what is even scarier is
that I might even be larger than that.
I’ll count my blessings as I continue to
navigate this journey. I’m constantly
working to find a new appreciation for myself and my WW program as the months
and years go by.
