"What happens when people open their
hearts?"..."They get better."- Haruki Murakami,
End of an era! That’s
what yesterday was, Kath my helper did her last meetings and we all got very
sad as we gave her the gifts and cards we’d all got her and told her how much
we were going to me her. Over £100 we collected
for her, my members were so generous and she was very touched by it all. I will miss her very much; she’s been
consistent all the years I’ve known her, such a positive person and very real.
So I’ve not got a meeting now till January 2nd,
and once I’ve done my paperwork I going to enjoy a good rest and break from it
al, I may or may not blog, I will see how I feel – I’m just going to be doing
exactly what I fancy doing, no pressure no stress, no hassle. Sounds like bliss, then I remembered Jen and
Will the two kids coming with us and I remembered I won’t get a lot of say in
some things as those two can be very convincing!
Oh we had a small victory yesterday; I only went and lost
weight! 1.5 lb off, so that’s good
before my holiday, it shows I’m not a total lost cause and that my own body
actually tells me when to stop these days, which is just fabulous! We’ve all agreed that whatever happens over
Christmas we will come back smiling say, “I had a fabulous Christmas”, get on
the scales and get on with it! I even
had a new member last night so that just shows that some people out there will
be staying on track and my new member that joined last week had lost 6lb this
week so good stuff.
There was a great article in the Daily Mail yesterday saying
how Weight Watchers is the best out there, the NHS agrees and on the radio it
said you’re 54% more likely to keep your weight off with Weight Watchers. Well what can I say, we already knew that
didn’t we, it’s the best and I’ve kept mine off for 8.5 years, mom for 8 years –
yes it’s the best. And as we agreed in
the meeting yesterday morning, it’s not just a diet, it’s also a social
community, friends have been made in many of my meetings, heck I’ve met my best
friends through Weight Watchers and it’s a huge part of my life.
My amazing members have lost 1,997 stone between them this
year and 98 of them have achieved their final goals. However there has been so much more success,
Denise ended the year on 292.5lb that’s just shy of 21 stone, Rachel is looking
sensational 10 stone lighter, oh there’s just too many to list, those are just
two ladies I weighed yesterday morning and thought WOW. So many of you share you’re amazing stories
with me, not just the weight talk but your life’s, you’re all so inspirational
and often move me with what you cope with.
Then there’s the joy, the text messages I get when you’re in changing
rooms and you’ve just got into a pair of size 12 (or whatever size) jeans, or
some other situation that has made you feel sensational and you want to share
with me. I feel very privileged to be
taken into your hearts and blessed to be so fortunate to have a job I truly
enjoy. I’m always touched when a member
tells me I’m the best leader they’ve ever had, or that they couldn’t have done
it without me. Some of the things you’ve
written in my Christmas cards have moved me to tears – I’m not a big softie at
all much. Yep I love Weight Watchers and
all it’s bought to my life, it’s not just helped me lose weight it’s softened
me too.
On that note, I’m not going to be doing a great deal of
weight watching for the next week ;-), I’m about to have a fabulous holiday,
and leave my brother and his wife to finish making my house lovely – aren’t I
lucky! We shall be partaking in a MacDonald’s
half way to Wales; it’s a tradition on our 4.5 hour journey. Then from then I really don’t stand much of a
chance because my best mate who is also a Weight Watcher will be with me and we
shall more than likely spend the week leading each other astray! I will however be walking my mom and her dog
once or twice a day so at least I’ll be getting some exercise.
All that’s left for me to say just in case I don’t blog (but
I bet I will, I won’t be able to stay away!) is Happy Christmas folks, have the
best one ever, remember it’s not about how much you spend it about how much you
love. Kids want time and attention so
much more than material stuff, I was a lucky kid I got so much of my mom’s time
and we had fun.
Xxxxx Here’s to an amazing 2013 xxxxxx
