Hello Everyone

It has been a little while since I have posted. Have been busy with all kinds of summer activities (moving, getting settled, playing golf, BBQ's etc.) This past week has been a very long week with the passing of one of my mom's sisters on the 21st of July. It was a sad time, but we have super great memories of her and she will always be in our hearts.

My weight loss has been fairly steady throughout the summer, and I have lost a total of 114.2 pounds! It seems unreal most of time, but I am now seeing a thinner, healthier me in the mirror. With only 4.8 pounds to get to goal, I am soooooooo excited.

My journey will never end. This IS a lifestyle now. I don't struggle with eating out at restaurants or at someone's house any more. I still fiind people get offended when I don't take certain foods when they serve them, but that is my choice and only mine. This whole journey may have seemed selfish to most, but it "REALLY IS ALL ABOUT ME", not anyone else. I did this for me, not for an occasion, or because my doctor wanted me to lose weight.

My Aunt Jean commented to me this past week and she said, " Marsha..... You have always been beautiful to me, but your are absolutely georgous! There is an aura of self confidence around you, you are just beaming with pride. I have never seen you this way and I like it!" I was a little embarrassed but afterwards I thought about it and I should not have been. I thanked her very much and told her it is a new me, and I plan on being this way the rest of my life.

WW is a way of life and for someone who has struggled all her life, this journey will never end. For all of you who read this and are on WW or are thinking about it, I just want you to know that YOU CAN DO THIS! It is not rocket science. It is pure common sense - you have to eat to lose weight, but it is what you eat and how much of it that takes some time to adjust to. After I reach lifetime, I am going to persue a career with Weight Watchers. I want to share my journey with everyone and be able to help others achieve their goals.
