Yes... I'm still skinny!

It's been 4 months since I've posted on here and I am proud to say I weigh 1 pound more than my last post!!! That's mostly due to the fact that last week I gained a pound b/c I was on vacation the week before. Weight maintenance has not be nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I have not stayed the same weight two weeks in a row but I never fluctuate more than one pound. I also don't have my tracker chained to my ankle like I thought I would. I am able to just keep up with it mentally. That has been the biggest relief. I think the key to my success has been continue to go to my WW meetings. I really enjoy them so it doesn't seem like a big deal... especially since I don't have to pay for them! There's something about walking in that door and stepping on the scale, waiting to see what Janet or Lisa write down. I will admit that I have skipped a week or two b/c I knew I gained a pound but I've never skipped two in a row! I still get inspiration from those women (and a few men) and their stories. I've even had one woman tell me that I inspire her to continue towards her goal, seeing me reach mine. That was very humbling for me but it also makes me want to keep going and sharing my stories, tips, and joys!

Katy has gone with me the last 2 meetings (Perri's been in MDO). After the first meeting she asked why I went to Weight Watcher's meetings. I told her that it teaches me to eat healthy and exercise so I can keep up with her & Perri. The next meeting, Katy told my leader that she went swimming for exercise and that she ate watermelon since it's healthy! She got a "bravo" sticker and a "foot" one and boy, was she proud! The thought of that brings tears to my eyes and gives me proof as to why I really did all of this in the first place... to give my daughters all the tools to live a healthy life and, hopefully, not have to struggle with weight like I have. Now if Katy starts asking how many points her fruit snacks or hot dog are, I'll be a little worried!!!

<3 love & skinny hugs... and it feels just as good to give skinny hugs now as it did "fluffy" ones!
