Cathy Clark of Tallahassee, Florida just celebrated her three year anniversary on Weight Watchers. She's had some peaks and valleys in that time, but she's stuck with it and has lost 116 pounds and gone from barely being able to stand up from a chair to being able to walk for miles at a time. She's currently only 9 pounds away from her goal and she's still chugging along.
Cathy shared a quote that's brought her inspiration on her weight loss journey: "Forget the clock and take the compass. The direction you are headed is far more important than the time it takes to get there." That's pretty inspiring for me, as I also recently celebrated my 3 year weight loss anniversary. Sometimes it seems like I'll never get there and I occasionally google around for a quick fix, but, like Cathy, I'm in this journey for the long haul.
As a side note, don't you just love those pictures people take when they lose weight where they hold up their gigantic former clothes? I certainly do! I took this one about 18 months ago with my size 28 jeans.
(The blonde hair was a mistake and yes, it's been corrected. Blame my mother. She's always trying to get one of us to go blonde so she looks like her's could be natural)
