Weight Ain't Nothin' But A Number

I've been going to WW for 7 weeks now.  I've averaged over 2 pounds a week loss.  My clothes are fitting better, I feel like I have a little extra energy, I'm eating more veggies.  All good things.

I'm close to a big milestone, which is exciting.  When you hit milestones, the leader always asks what you've learned or what's worked.

On Monday night a lady achieved her lifetime status.  She's reached her goal, continued to come to WW for 6 weeks after achieving the goal and has maintained.  You can remain a lifetime member as long as you maintain within 2 points of your goal.  What an accomplishment. 

In all honesty, that's my goal.  I don't want to have to do this again.  I don't want to go back to the way I ate that helped put on 10 pounds a year.  I don't want to buy bigger jeans.  I want to be healthy.  I want to make good choices.

As I think about reaching my next milestone, I realize that one major thing has changed.  I don't make excuses for my added pounds anymore.  I'm ready to just be healthy.  I want to be a good example to all three of my girls.  I don't want them to have to join WW because I didn't lead by example. 

I'm ready for a new lifestyle.  It's been almost 33 years in the making.  I think for the first time in my life, my head is in it as much as my heart.
