I have not
had the time to sit down and write up all my thoughts on what celebrating my 12
Year WW Anniversary feels like. Today, I
have that time. Let’s see if I can sum
it all up with some cliff notes.
It has been
quite the journey. The End.
But, you
see, it isn’t the end. My journey is
nowhere close to being done and it has been quite the journey. As with every journey, there is bound to be
speed bumps and detours along the way.
Sometimes we might have to look really hard to find where the next path
is or continue to have faith that we are on the right path and eventually it
will lead us to where we want to be.
I spent some
time a few weeks ago looking over 12 years of WW memories. I still have all my weight journals…which is
a lot when you think of 12 years worth.
I also have
the bookmark my very first WW leader Lynn gave us when she retired from our
Nampa evening meeting. I reached out to
her when I met goal and even saw her at a future meeting years later. The words on the back of the bookmark still
ring true.
A FB memory
came up today of my thoughts on my two year WW Anniversary. In 2009, I documented that I had lost 122
pounds and we getting closer to goal. In
2019, I have lost 92 pounds and I am getting closer to getting back under 200
pounds. What is crazy is that I am just
30 pounds heavier than I was 10 years ago.
That feels amazing.
I have saved
my old bookmarks with my 5 pound stars and my LT monthly stars. Since the reimagined WW program doesn’t do
stickers anymore, I’ll cherish these memories forever.
I can’t wait
until I can once again weigh-in each month at my goal weight (whatever my goal
weight ends up being) and start earning my yearly Lifetime charm again. Oh boy…those happy memories of what that used
to feel like is going to feel twice as good when I get there.
Don’t give
up. Keep going. Keep pushing through the hurdles in your way
and find a different path. Maybe even
follow that detour that makes you nervous because you just never know where it
might lead.
Thank you
for letting me continue to share my journey.
