1 Year on Weight Watchers :)

I am proud to say I am officially 1 year on weight watchers and still finding success!! A year and a day ago I was very depressed, having chronic daily migraines (taking multiple medications for both of these issues), severely obese, and just a generally unhappy person weighing in at 350lbs at only 25 years of age, with 2 small children under the age of 5; and unable to have any more due to my weight I had developed PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). When I wasn't working I was hiding from everything and everyone. It wasn't fun to go shopping, or on family outings because I couldn't really participate due to my size. At that time I was so large I couldn't/wouldn't wear jeans, the only size I owned was size 28 and they dug in so deep I couldn't breathe, and I was in general discomfort no matter what I wore. My only semi-comfy clothes were my scrubs I could wear to work: size 4x (needing 5x) tops, and 3x (needing 4x) bottoms. My favorite pass time was eating in front of the tv while playing farmville/frontierville on fb, which is how I spent every moment of every day when I wasn't working; I was tuned out of my life. It's embarrassing to look back and see how lacking as a wife, mother, person I was and know that I thought it was ok at the time. I cannot pin point the exact change, thought, or moment when i decided to change my life and the way I lived it, all I really know is that I was ready to do something and not give up. I had no will power, it was just my mind set; my mind was made up I was going to eat healthy and exercise that was the only way I could do it, there was no simple fix or quick answer solution to fix it. I ate myself that way I had to eat myself back and that meant a lot of sacrifice, hard work, and dedication; and I can say a year later it works! I knew I needed a way to manage everything I had to do, and to monitor what I ate and how I exercised; I started out on spark people, but it was tracked by calories and I found that I wasn't allowing myself to eat very much or very healthily because I was afraid to eat too many calories and thats when I discussed WW's with a few coworkers and that weekend I went online and signed up. I do know in the beginning I did watch a lot of documentaries that helped me stick to my current eating habits: Super size me, Food, inc., food matters, fat sick & nearly dead, forks over knives, etc. and even still i am making changes to my diet. People tell me I'm crazy because I know I can now smell better and food tastes better; I would take an organic apple over chocolate cake any day! So a year out now I am down 142.8lbs currently weighing in at 207.2lbs and still another 57.2lbs until I reach my goal weight. My current jeans size is 12/14 (hard to say depends on the store) I can wear Large in Juniors . my current scrub size Large top (due to my breast size lol) and medium scrup pants. I have lost 28 inches around my waist, 21.5 inches around my hips, 13 inches around my breasts, 12 inches off my thighs, and 10 inches off my arms. If there was one thing I would want to say to someone just starting out it would be to never give up, it is hard no doubt about it, but you are worth everything you put into your weight loss journey, and you deserve to be a happy, healthier version of you! You will have those days where you cannot see the end of it or you might cheat and feel what's the point; well you are the point, and you are the reason you work so hard, never give up just keep moving forward; it gets easier every day and you will see rewards weekly when you stick to the plan! Trust in yourself, and know that every difficult encounter you come across will only get you that much closer to your goals
