My Inspiration

My journey will be a long one, but I am SO lucky to have a sister who has already walked these roads. She and I have always struggled with our weight. We grew up with very fucked up ways of thinking about food. In our house food was lots of things. It was motivation, reward, a privilege, and a punishment.  It was something we earned and something we cherished. It was NOT something to fuel our bodies. Certain foods were only meant for certain people. We would hide  hoard food, like we wouldn't get enough to eat. 

So growing up, it has been hard to break those habits and thoughts about food. That is why I think Weight Watchers has been so effective for her. It has helped her (and I) understand how food works with your body, not against it. 

So she joined WW about a year ago and has done great! 

Here she is at her heaviest (on the left)

And here she is now (tho this pic is a little old, so she might be smaller now!)

I didn't even know our bodies could look like that! I am so incredibly proud of her. She is my inspiration and I know that I can succeed at this because she has.
