[Guest guest]

Jen, tell us what has worked for you, gotten you through the tough times.

What has kept you on the path of lower weight. Tell us why this has all

been worth it to you.

I am very honest with my journal, even when I overeat. This way I can't

say " I was so good, why didn't I lose " . It is easy to forget how much

you have ate if you don't write it down. Water and consistent exercise

has been very important. I have learned the hard way (plateauing) to

vary my exercise routine and my points, but all is well now. It

certainly is coming off a lot slower now but I'm ok with that. I am 5

lbs from the top end of my range, personally I would like about 12 more

pounds, but we will see. At 5'10 " I am tall and not petitly structured

at all and I am still a 38 D so I have a lot left on top. " They " must

weigh something! I'm not concerned about the weight coming off slower

now, I think it is my way of learning how to maintain. I splurge a

" little " more often now, but usually it is with banked points or AP's.

How could it not be worth it at this point? 68 lbs is a lot of excess

to be carrying around. No wonder I was tired all the time. I didn't

have the energy to keep up with my own kids let alone my daycare. And

as I've mentioned before I battled with anxiety and depression for

years. I am still on a low dose of antidepressants, but no where near

the amount I was taking 10 months ago. I can shop in regular stores

now, which is cheaper by far and you have many more choices available to

you. I don't avoid swimming with my kids anymore. I can tie my shoes

and go up flights of stairs without going red in the face and feeling

out of breath.

I feel as though I have been on an incredible journey since last summer.

I have learned a lot about myself and why I ate like I did. I believe

in the WW lifestyle, and truly believe it is something I can easily

follow for life without feeling deprived. When I really crave

something, I allow myself to have it. If I don't have enough points I

have a small amount and exercise a little more and I am a little more

careful the next few days. Holidays, parties, cravings are a part of

life and they will always be there. Moderation and regular exercise are

key!

Thanks for asking.
