A Teacher Who Found Herself

Pam, like many others was a middle age woman who was overweight, unhappy, and looking for change. Since she could remember she had always compared herself to perfection, and because reaching perfection was impossible, she was in constant disappointment. Being overweight most of her life, Pam felt that her obesity defined her. It was all anyone saw and thought of her. Pam wanted to leave an impression that went far past her weight.

In January of 2012, Pam decided to commit to changing her health for the better. She joined Weight Watchers not anticipating that she would not only transform her outer body but her inner self too. On the very first meeting, Pam remembers sitting in the far back corner of the room, not wanting anyone to notice her. During the meeting her heart became filled with desperation's, hope and shame all at the same time. She was ready to make a difference in not only her weight loss but in her entire life.

Over her 14-month weight loss journey, Pam learned life skills that will follow her the rest of her life. Weight Watchers taught her portion control, what healthy eating looked like, and that change is truly possible. Before Weight Watchers Pam thought dieting simply meant depriving herself of the foods she loved. With Weight Watchers that wasn’t the case. Instead she was able to enjoy the foods she loved while trying and learning to make healthier choices. The program taught her how to eat, how to move, and patience.

Though her journey started with a desire to be skinnier and to not be defined by her obesity, Pam’s goals were altered during the process. Instead of having a set weight as her goal, she now works towards better health and well-being.

Through Weight Watchers Pam discovered that she actually loved eating fruits and vegetables—a big surprise to her—and that she had to stop beating herself up whenever she slipped up. Each week as she lost more and more weight, Pam rewarded herself with new, pretty clothes to reflect her growing self-confidence.

Now 70 pounds lighter, Pam is embracing her new-found freedom. She enjoys racing her grand-kids up and down the driveway and even putting on a poodle skirt and roller-blades. Her new color of choice is red and she now enjoys wearing anything that sparkles.

While her outward transformation is incredible, Pam had an even greater inner transformation. She now treats herself with the same care and grace that she happily gave to those she loved. She, and others, no longer define her as simply obese. Instead Pam now describes herself as funny, smart, strong and klutzy, a good wife, daughter, friend, and teacher. Most importantly Pam realizes she is more than just a number.
