Thank you, Weight Watchers!

I received the nicest surprise from Weight Watchers!  

They sent me this beautiful "Enjoy The Journey" MantraBand bracelet.  

The enclosed note said they enjoy following my journey 

and thought I deserved a little something special.  

This bracelet is a perfect reminder that weight loss 

is a long journey, not a quick fix.  

Getting to my goal weight is taking a long time but 

I keep moving forward and am enjoying my life (and food!) along the way!  

Thank you, Weight Watchers!  I love it!
