Back in May
of 2017 I found myself at the store looking at the racks of jeans for sale. The
ones I had one were way too tight and I realized I would have to get the
next size up. But the ones I had on were already a size 16 and I really did not
want to buy a size 18. I just didn’t. So, right then and there, I vowed to lose
weight and get back down to the size 8 that I used to be.
Based by my
past experiences, I knew that the most reliable way for me to attain my goal
was to join Weight Watchers – so the very next day I drove to the University
Mall and signed myself up. I didn’t tell anybody, not even my partner, because
I just wanted to get comfortable with the idea first.
Eventually
I did confess to my partner that I had joined. He was surprised, but
supportive. So supportive, in fact, that he joined with me! “It’s not going to
work for me, “ he said “but that’s not why I’m doing it. I’m doing it to
support your efforts, that’s all.”
Jump
forward two years, and you’ll find us both with a combined weight loss of very
close to 100 pounds! It DOES work, and it did for him just as much as it did
for me! We both go to the weekly workshops and each have our phones loaded with
the WW Ap.
It has
completely changed the way we eat: both of us are a lot more aware of portion
sizes and sneaky snacks. We eat way more vegetables than ever before, and have
almost worn out our Spiralizer. Our freezer is full of salmon & chicken
breasts, and we even allow ourselves the occasional treat now and then (maybe a
donut for me and a steak for him).
I still have a ways to go
before I reach my official goal, but I’m very happy with the results so far,
and can easily see myself sticking to this program for the rest of my life.
