Welcome to Day 3
of
If you have been following this 'stitching hop' then you know what's about to happen.
I'm about to reveal MY Superpower....
or at the very least...
what I THINK my Superpower to be!
I will confess (and I know I'm not alone)....
this has been the one of the hardest, most frustrating,
most thought provoking themes
I've encountered to date.
Every time I was sure I had the perfect "power".....
I would ponder it for a couple days...
then toss it out the window.
I even went so far as to ask my Facebook friends
what they thought my Superpower should be.
Their generous and oh so kind answers just
floored me....
Yikes....they made me blush!
But with their help I thought I'd nailed it.....
and then a new worry took hold....
Should I be:
Witty?
Serious?
Seriously Witty?
*sigh*
In the end....I came up with a whole other idea...
and it stuck!
I think it's....
a little
fun
a little
serious
but really and truly...
I think it's...
(a little)
Me!
Because you see....
First some serious....
Really and truly...
this was me a few years ago....
(taking a really HUGE breath...holding it....
Maybe I'll close my eyes while you look....
denial is bliss sometimes....
I've never shown this picture before....)
I've NEVER been a little girl....
even when I WAS a little girl....
Less than two months after the above picture was taken....
I made up my mind....
There was really truly TOO MUCH of me!
Time for a lifestyle change!
Back "on program" I went...and dear Spouse along with me!
(I'm a "Lifer"...yes...somewhere buried is my "Lifetime Key"
that thing was HUGE! You wouldn't think I could lose it)
Nine months later....
40 lbs lighter.....
(and no...no baby involved...LOL)
Slowly but surely....
I was determined...
I had the POWER afterall!
Now it's 2014...
Here's my favorite pic from Valentines Day....
First time in a dress since...well...I can't remember when!
To quote a very wise Madame....
"....everything is possible"
Yes sirree boys and girls....
I've got the POWER!
And I even have this.....
It's an official employee Name Tag!
Not to worry....
I'm still a Quilter & Shopkeep...first and foremost....
but now and then I'm a
WW Receptionist.
And someday I hope to become a WW Leader!
It's still one day at a time....
this isn't my first rodeo....
But for now....
My little mouse feet do their
Happy Dance
all the way to the scale....
Super Thanks to:
Pauline
Her Cheerleading Queenly Superpowers really kept me going!
and
Madame Samm....She is truly the Superpower here!
Three Cheers for DMC our sponsor!

-Mdm Samm

I'll be blogging about my favorite recipes...foodie tips...my WW journey....
I keep it simple, short and sweet!

just sharing some of what worked and works for me!
