ONE YEAR LATER

Last January 5th I made the life changing decision to join Weight Watchers. Well...a year later (as of yesterday) I am 70 pounds lighter!!! WOW!!! Just to say, "I have lost 70 pounds." seems like a dream.

The Top Ten Things I Recognize Now That I AM 70 Pounds Lighter:

10. Clothes are easier to find.
9. My shoes are too big. (who knew your feet would lose weight)
8. I don't mind that I have more wrinkles (since they aren't stretched out)
7. I don't snore (as bad! ;-0)
6. An apple tastes like a piece of candy.
5. It is a bit uncomfortable to sit in the bathtub...not as much padding!
4. I enjoy walking.
3. Charles is so proud of (and for) me.
2. I can pass up junk food I used to LIVE for.
1. AND THE NUMBER ONE...I don't want to go back!

At yesterday's weight watchers meeting, a recipe was shared. I haven't fixed it yet...but I plan to this week-end.
