{ Ten Percent }

I finally made it!!! After who knows how many weeks of slogging along, I finally made it to my ten percent goal. This is one of your first goals in WW. I've seen my friends get their shiny 10 percent key rings and looked on with hopeful thoughts to obtaining one of my own. Honestly, this was the week that I woke up with dreadful thoughts, thinking: If I don't lose this week, I'm throwing in the towel. I guess even Supergirls get dicouraged!
Now I have it, my key ring dangling with my keys in shiny recognition of the effort it took me to get here. It's so awesome! I keep remembering what my leader once said. He reminded us that losing even 1/2 pound a week would be a feasible way to get to our goal. It would take small changes and long term diligence, but it was possible. My path, it seems, will be slow and steady, like my jogging. But in the end, the result will be the same. Health, continued happiness (because I'm not waiting till I reach my goal to be happy) and joy in a journey well traveled. If the going seems slow, keep trucking along, Supergirls! If you've passed me up, congratulations! I mean it! Nothing makes me happier than seeing my friends succeed with me!
