SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND SAY IT AIN'T SO.
It is so.
I have met my weight watchers goal...still have a personal goal of 135 and I will get there. There is a new found motivation now hitting the ww goal.
I am just in shock. I knew it was going to work, but I didn't know it was going to work, ya know?
The leader asked last night how different I feel, yes, I do feel different, healthier, but I still see myself as the same girl as when I joined. I still see areas that need improving. Will I ever pat myself of the back for a job well done?
A couple of you posted about my flower growing out from under the rock..I NEVER once thought of myself when I saw the determination it took for that iris to flourish. I just thought it was pretty amazing and cool to see it grow that way. ACTUALLY, my mom drug me out there with my camera to capture it...and it is pretty cool, but just as my mom you all have drug me out to see that YES, it also is MY determination that has gotten me here.
Twenty seven pounds lighter, in six months, that is pretty damn good and nothing what I thought I would accomplish. Maybe the success hasn't sunk in. Maybe Bubba asking if I was carrying a baby in my tummy hit me a little in the pride department. Whatever it is, I really hope that image of my smaller self sets in...cause, I haven't been this "little" since high school (and I thought I was fat THEN *eye roll*)
I have to maintain this weight now for 6 weeks so I can make lifetime...and in the next 6 weeks I plan to get down to MY personal goal. *raises fist in the air* I will succeed.
*clinks glass of champagne*
ReplyDeleteStacie! I am so happy for you. Not only for reaching your WW goal but for seeing that you reached it because of what you did. Because of your determination.
There is nothing you can't do if you set your mind and your heart on it.
I just know you will reach your 135 goal.
And also?
GO SHOPPING!
I assure you that slipping into some new fancy duds that fit will make your confidence soar even higher.
YAY STACIE!
Congratulations! The trick now is to change your lifestyle so that you stay at your target weight - no slipping back!
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping over to mine, always nice to meet new people.
Yay Stacie!!! You did it girl! but I all ready knew you would. I've seen that determination before.
ReplyDeleteA standing ovation for you AND a 2 point peanut butter cup :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your journey reminds me of what my dad used to tell me when I was a kid about starting something... anything. He used to say, "Sharon, there is no path. The path is made when you start walking."
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many times I've started walking... accomplishing things because of those words. And I am really happy that my path landed on your blog today... because it is my dad's birthday, and he would have been 80 today. He died 32 years ago, but his life, his wisdom, his words live on in my heart.
So... keep on walking! Your path is quite clear!
Thanks for reminding me...
