Happy Anniversary to my Lifetime!

I just posted on the Friday weigh-in thread, and it just struck me that today marks a big anniversary:

I've had lifetime status at WW for 10 years!

It's so weird, because I can't believe it's been that long, and at the same time, I can't believe I haven't been at a normal weight for my whole life!

I remember how strange it was back then to look in a mirror and see a different-looking person staring back at me. That identity thing was really weird. But now I've been living this way for 10 years and it's hard to imagine that it was any other way.

Regardless, I'm pretty happy about this, and proud to say that (with the exception of one single reading after a long vacation) I've been below my Weight Watcher goal weight for over 10 years now! Crazy.

Happy anniversary to me!

    Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment. Ten years!

    Congratulations Steve!!! You just reminded me that I am about 12 years at lifetime. I'll have to check. 10 years was a big deal for sure. My Dr always wondered how I could have been so overweight while being active. Uh easy ! "I can easily outeat my legs". Hence WW

    Oh and yes like you I would rather be a few pounds lighter than my WW goal than I currently am.

    Congratulations Steve. That is a big deal. I originally made LT in 1991 but went away and so did the loss. Lots of ups and downs but came back to WW and returned to goal in 2013. I have managed to keep it off since.
