I have had some e-mails asking about where I was at as far as my weight loss. I am happy to report to you that I have been maintaining my Weight Watcher's LIFETIME status :-)
It has not been easy but there have been some breakthroughs. I am in such a great place mentally. For much of the first year on WW I struggled so hard with body image issues. Even though I have lost 130 pounds I couldn't see myself any other way than my former self. That changed over the past few months and now I can see what others see...once in a while I will still have a flashback to my old self. My girlfriend has been so very helpful with this and I thank her.
There have been many other life altering events and positive changes including just LOVING life in a whole new way. I have always been a glass half full kind of guy but now I refuse to let anything get in my way. One other thing I noticed that when I smile in pictures it looks like I am happy. I look at old pics of myself (when I wasn't hiding from them being taken) and my smile was forced and there was a sadness in my eyes.
Do I have it all figured out and will I never have to worry about my weight again...HARDLY :-) I know that I will always have to work on my health and weight management. The difference is now I know I can keep it off!
