I started WW because of your
site! I love your site it was so helpful and still is! I have cooked a few
of the recipes so far and they are faboulous! But I joined Weight Watchers
last Tuesday, Aug 28th.
I need to lose 124 pounds and have been in such good
spirits every since I joined. I got my journal out
and am learning to eat
proper! Last night was my first weigh in. I lost 12.2 pounds IN A WEEK!!!
I did it
all by myself with the help of WW. I didn't need pills or surgery!
But me! I did it! I want you to know I have
been on cloud nine everysince
I started this program but am on it even more so now! I wrote a peom
yesterday
morning - kind of a reflection on myself and would like to share it with you
as well!
A
Battle Just Beginning!
As I sit here anxiously, anticapating the turn
out
I ask myself what, when, where, and why.
I tell myself today, tomorrow, and forever,
Here, there, and everywhere,
because I look in the mirror and see beauty!
I see deep within.
Beauty is not just skin deep
it is very deep,
can only be found by those who really truly look.
So, why do I do this
because I am finding it more and more everyday!
A pound or 2 and more to lose but with time
I will strive to succeed in my own battles.
I am a winner.
I just never knew it.
I take a look at the past and just start to laugh,
why was I so fooled...
was this a costume,
or was this my life?
Only I can change the future
and just glance at the past.
I look again and I see me in the end!
The battle is yet to be won,
but I am closer today than yesterday,
and closer tomorrow than today.
So why keep up the fight?
Because I am a winner
looking to win this battle!
From deep beneath
the true me is drowning in loads of nothing,
nothing to lose but my faith,
faith in myself,
faith of my kids,
faith of those looking but not seeing the true beauty.
I sit here waiting and thinking;
I am my own hero;
only I can win this battle!
A battle I will suceed to defeat!
for I am strong, I am me! I am Beautiful!

I wrote this because I am going
back to see what I have lost for the first time with Weight Watchers!
This
is my second meeting! I have a long road ahead of me but I felt oh so positive
about myself..
I am truely a changing person and can't wait til the battle
is over! Cindy (lilmommy25)
My 15 year old daughter
wrote this for me last Friday after I had cut my finger pretty bad
while washing a glass. It is soooo wonderful to be loved, Isn't it?
Moma's Hands!
I saw you hide your hands in line,
behind the lady fair.
I noticed too, hers soft and white
immaculate from care.
But Ma, I say; it's no disgrace
to have working hands like you, and
if she lived the life you have, she'd
have hands just like you.
Her hands have never touched a young'n
or caressed a fevered head.
Those hands have never scrubbed a kitchen
floor, or done dishes every day.
So you see, my dearest moma -
yours are hands of love.
And I bet the Lord will notice,
when he greets you from above.
I love you Moma.
Isn't that the most wonderful thing a mom could get.
Megan is my life and I love her so.
Thanks for letting me share with you. Theresa (tess4399)
