Week 20 - Weight Watchers

This week's weigh-in was: -1.8 lbs.
My new weight loss total: - 35.4 lbs.

Several people have commented on my "Before & After" picture collage.
They were amazed at the change in my weight - not realizing just how much I did actually loose.
I figured that pictures speak louder than words - I also needed to see the difference myself.

I was browsing some of the Weight Watchers groups and sites and was admiring picture postings of "Before & After" pictures of so many people - and then thought; "Hey, they're just like me. I should share my success too!"

That's when I started looking for pictures. I was trying to find a picture of myself during the Christmas holidays - but obviously I avoided pictures altogether during this time (most were of my face and/or I was sitting). Past is past - moved on. So in February I took a picture of myself - needed a more recent one. I then made the "Before & After" collage and posted it also in the Weight Watchers group I take part in (FaceBook). Anyways the feedback was amazing.

Even people at work have been commenting. I don't look for comments but feedback is appreciated. I'm not the type of person who seeks comments and has a need to have people say things - but like everyone else, if you have something to say, say it to me - not to others. It's nice to hear it for yourself instead of having someone tell you that someone else said something...
Anyways - moving forward.

I know my journey has only just begun. But I know my journey has also had an impact for others. I've had to explain the Weight Watchers plan to several people - I mean several have even come to my home to discuss Weight Watchers and tell me that they're interested in joining.
I don't discourage it since I do believe in the plan - as long as you have some type of commitment (and most of the time it's because you've invested $$). If it's FREE some people don't commit as much as they should.

This is your life - this is forever.
This is your chance to start over.
Your body and mind won't change unless you commit to changing them.
Make the change - if I can do it, you can do it.
Slowly but surely - little steps.

Not everyone is built the same (body types).
Example: I could wear size "whatever" and someone could also wear the same size, but that doesn't mean we weigh the same thing.

Everyone works and functions differently.
Just because you do something doesn't mean it'll work the same way for me.
I could lose 2 lbs. in a week doing nothing while you may lose 3 lbs. but had to work your butt off working out at the gym for the entire week.
Different bodies -

Anyways - enough about that.
Believe you can and you will - Believe you can't and you won't.

Take care and live healthy!
