I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Crystal and I recently re-joined weight watchers
as an alternative to weight loss surgery. I am 26 years old and I realized that there was no time like the present
to start focusing on losing weight. I joined WW in 2004 but only stayed with it about a month and a half.
Just hadn't gotten focused enough to stay with it. Now here I am again willing and ready to make this happen.
I finally realized it was no longer about dieting it was about a new way of life. Its going to be a long journey but
hey so was the journey to becoming overweight. Of course I want to be thinner for personal reasons but I also know in
the the long run I will be much healthier. I am the mother of two Austin, 8 and Savannah, almost 7. I know
that in order to have a fulfilled life with them and for them it is necessary to lose all of this weight. My mother
did WW and was very sucessful with it and asked me to please try this first before allowing myself to go through surgery.
She said she didn't want me taking the risks associated with it and definitely didn't want to have to explain what happened
to my kids if something terrible did happen. I am so glad I took her advice because I have only been OP for a short
time and I am already losing. I guess thats what moms are for, helping us to make better choices even when we are grown
and think we know everything!!!
The reason I have created this web site is to encourage both myself and others. I know that by having my pictures
on here everyone will be able to see them. That is all the motivation I will need to want to post more updated pics.
I never have liked having my picture taken but I realize that pictures do not lie. Therefore I will see my own progress as
opposed to looking in the mirror where we all have our distorted images of ourselves. I also hope to be a success story
to one day be the motivation someone else needs to start their weight loss journey.
