TOTAL LOST:
4 LBS GONE FOREVER!!
Hi everyone! My name is Christy and I am 27..I hope to inspire a few people by following my weight loss...and I will succeed!! :) And also be inspired by all my great supports I have found here online :) I started Weight Watchers back in 1995 (you can see my before pic..yuck!!) and did so great I lost 50 pounds!!! (my after pic is also on here..it keeps me motivated!) My turning point came when I decided to get married and looked so huge in all the dresses I tried on...and this was supposed to be the happiest day of my life and all I was worried about was how I looked...I remember crying and being so sad..not what is supposed to happen when you get married!!! It took a little while of feeling sorry for myself and being depressed that I finally said to myself....you have got to do something..this is no way to live your life in a shell afraid to go out into the world wondering what people are thinking of you. So I joined Weight Watchers and felt so proud of myself and lost 50 pounds! I felt the best I have ever felt in my life and felt like life was before me .. ready to conquer it all! It really didn't feel all that hard losing the weight thru WW and feeling my clothes become looser and seeing my body change was the most amazing thing. Once again...I felt so pretty and LOVED having my pic taken!!! I no longer wondered what people thought of me...or even really cared...I was happy with who I was...and proved to myself I can do ANYTHING!!! Well somewhere along the way...I slowly gained back 30 of what I had lost...in about 3 years. I again became a little depressed...but since I knew what that wonderful feeling was I had before...the living life and feeling great about myself was all about.....I decided without to much self doubt..I can do this again...and lose more. I became discouraged before I think cause I had so much to lose.....like 90 pounds but now realize it is all about one small step at a time. I right now weigh 216 as of today 11/20/00 and hope to get down to 180. WW says 150 but that seems so small to me! I will decide what is right for me....and don't compare myself to anyone else as I think that is important...when I feel good about myself...that is what is right for me. :) I hope you continue to "see me thru" my changes and will keep my site updated with any changes.....I hope to offer any support to anyone who needs it!!!! I am on my way!!!! Christy
