Dear Weight Watchers: I can’t do this!

Dear Weight Watchers: I can’t do this!

Back before Weight Watchers strolled into my life I was basically a scaredy-cat! I didn’t want to try anything new and was certain I would fail if I did attempt. The first words that would pop into my mind were always “you can’t do that”! My every day existence was a bundle of limitations! Over the past few months, I have had lots of wonderful life experiences which were previously plagued by my insecurities in the past!

But then, I developed a new relationship! I found stability. I found trust. I found happiness. And I also found there are so many things that “I can do!” In 2011, I began my long-term relationship with Weight Watchers. When I have been unfaithful, WW is always a constant. Unwavering and always welcomes me back when I have strayed!

My relationship with Weight Watchers has afforded me the opportunity to learn things about myself that I never knew were possible! It has turned all of my “CAN’T” into I “CAN”! I used to watch my life happen around me while I was sitting on the sidelines. But now I can be an active participant in my own new life!

I used to hide my physical imperfections underneath cardigan sweaters and shrugs. But now, I have the confidence to show my arms in clothing for the first time ever. Yes, I still have saggy arms from where I’ve lost weight, but I am not ashamed to bare them in public. No one laughs and points at me so why should I feel insecure about it? I CAN wear anything that makes me feel sassy about myself!

This weekend, some friends of mine bought a new house boat. While on the tour, I noticed the hallway to the bedroom was very tiny. Immediately, my brain thought, “I can’t fit in there so I will just stand out here and not embarrass myself trying to fit into the tight space.” But occasionally, I have to remind myself that I can fit into places now. I was easily able to fit down the hallway without even turning sideways! Secretly in my head, I was giggling while I did it! That was a huge victory for me.

For years, I have feared water—- feared my certain death if I was near in (or in it). But, now, every day I am on the water. I walk on a floating dock which moves every step I take. In the past, I was too afraid that I would be the one who would make the dock collapse, due to my weight, and I would plummet into the water and drown (not to mention be so embarrassed that I would WANT to die anyhow). However, none of those things have happened. Since dropping 100 pounds, I trust the water a little more (not TOTALLY, but more!). When I step on the houseboat or on the pontoon boat, they move!! But, I do it with confidence now. They move when ANYONE steps on them— even a child! I CAN do things that normal people do, and I CAN do it without fear!

And just as a re-cap, I CAN also:

Drive my car without my belly touching the steering wheel

Fit into booths at restaurants without feeling like a busted can of biscuits spilling out on the table

Ride in an airplane without needing a seatbelt extender

Complete several 5K’s

Complete a half-marathon (and not die)!

Cross my legs

Wear sassy high heel shoes

Shop in a non-plus size specific store and department

Dear Weight Watchers: How can I afford this?

Dear Weight Watchers: How can I afford this?

Sometimes in life we make purchases and we know exactly what to expect when we spend our money. Often times you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get gypped.

When I started paying Weight Watchers in January 2011, it was an expense I wasn’t sure I could afford. After all, why should I have to pay someone to stand on a scale for six seconds a week and be told how much I weigh? I am more than capable of doing that myself in the privacy of my bathroom where I can cry if the news is bad!

Is Weight Watchers just a big racket designed to take my money and give me nothing in return? I can say with 1,000,000% certainty that Weight Watchers is one of those things where you get what you pay for! It is the best money that I spend all week!

Since I joined Weight Watchers, I have lost 130 pounds and also gained back 30 pounds-which I am fighting to lose again! However, the list of things that I have been able to obtain by paying my Weight Watchers membership fees are truly priceless!

I will take just a few minutes and recap some of the non-scale victories which I have experienced just this past week!

All my life, I have been scared of water. I don’t want it in my face, I have never jumped into a pool or lake, I don’t like splashing games and leaving dry land has never been on my list of things that I wanted to do. But recently I have been experiencing boat life! And it is very refreshing to know that my fears are almost gone! I believe that most of my fear regarding water has always been a trust issue. I didn’t trust that the water would hold me up, thus I would drowned. I didn’t trust that if I left land and stepped onto a boat, that it would sink. I didn’t trust that no one would make fun of me if I caused the boat to move while I walked around on the pontoon. But much to my surprise, none of those things have occurred! I have not drowned, the boat has not sunk and a pontoon boat moves when skinny people get on it and no one judges… Anyone!!

Back over 20 years ago, I went to an amusement park and I was brave enough to get on a roller coaster! However, I was escorted off the roller coaster before the ride could start because I was not able to fit securely into the cart. I was too fat!! This one event has scarred me emotionally more than I can explain. The walk of shame that I had to take down the exit ramp without my friends with me and without the windblown look to my hair from the enjoyment of the ride was devastating! However, this past weekend at Dollywood, I overcame that emotional hurt from so many years ago! I climbed on roller coaster after roller coaster and no one asked me to leave because I was a danger to myself. I even got on the ride where your legs dangle freely while you are being plummeted to an almost near certain death experience! It was a tight fit to fit into the harness, but I fit perfectly! There was no embarrassment, no shame involved-only pure joy and exhilaration! Spending all this money on Weight Watchers has made it to where I can do things without limitations!

While at an amusement park, it is required that you walk 4000 miles in one day to cover the surface area of the park! Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration but you get the point! I was able to keep up and walk all day long and not get winded or tired while doing so. Also I could easily climb the four flights of stairs in order to get up to the platform to ride the roller coasters. These are things that I couldn’t do before I started paying my Weight Watchers fees!

We all know that there are parts of our bodies that we wish to keep Hidden! Don’t get me wrong, I am very proud of how hard I have worked in order to add some new shape to my body! I am proud of my curves and enjoy working out to transform and sculpt my shape. But there are portions of my body which I guard extremely close! My arms are a hot mess! They are just a flopping mass of loose skin and they are hideous! Underneath that loose skin are some very impressive muscles! They are there, I can feel them, but no one can see them. The only solution for my “bat wings” is surgery to remove the skin. And in the meantime, I have worked diligently to hide that portion of my body with clothing! But, refer back to my earlier reference of boat life! It is hot on a boat in the middle of the lake! This past weekend, we took the pontoon (which I did not sink) out to meet some friends on their house boat on the lake. I knew there would be a lot of beautiful people on that boat! Folks who are comfortable enough in their skin to wear bathing suits and bikinis while socializing! That thought process fills me with anxiety and terror! I am the queen of the “cover up”! But, I have this new level of trust! I put on a cute maxi skirt and bravely slipped into a black tank top! Yes, a tank top with no sleeves in it! So what if someone looks at the flappy skin on my arms and wonders why they look so bad? If they ask, I will be glad to brag to them about how I have lost over 100 pounds and the flappy skin is a result of that effort! And you know what, not one person judged. I did see a few people glance at my arms and I am sure they may have been grossed out by them a bit but no one made me feel bad! I danced and laughed and socialized all while bearing my arms in public. The world did not stop turning! Everything was just fine! This is just another perk from the money I have invested in Weight Watchers!

So, can I afford to go to Weight Watchers? Absolutely I can!!  Look at all the luxuries and enhancements which Weight Watchers has afforded to me! It is worth every dime!

Dear Weight Watchers Founder: Sorry I didn’t get this to you sooner!

Jean Nidetch, to say that I am a bit tardy in getting this letter to you is an understatement.  You are the founder of Weight Watchers and I just read that you passed away today at the age of 91. Honestly, I don’t know that I have ever heard your name before today… but I feel that I need to share something with you.

Even though we never met, I can honestly say that you are my hero! Without a shadow of a doubt, you have saved my life. When you founded Weight Watchers many many years ago, you never envisioned that a chubby little girl from Chickamauga, GA would be depending on you and your VISION for a healthy lifestyle. If it wasn’t for you and the company which you discovered, I would not be the person that I am today!!

I want to personally say THANK YOU for creating Weight Watchers!! Because without you and without WW in my life,

I would:	Instead of:
Weight at least 400 pounds today	Having lost 100+ pounds
Be using a wheelchair for mobility	Being a Half- Marathon Finisher
Wear 4X size clothes	Enjoying my curves in my size 16 jeans
Still be searching for the magic pill or surgery to fix me	Knowing that EVERYTIME without fail, when I work the WW Plan, the WW Plan Works!
Spend a fortune on Drive Thru Food	Spending a fortune on fresh fruits and Veggies
Drink a Gallon of Sweet Tea each day	Drink over a gallon of water each day
Be in excruciating pain with my knees, back, hips and ankles.	Managing the discomfort of my knees, back, hips and ankles.
Wearing flat and ugly shoes	Feeling sassy in knee boots with heels
Be on a variety of medicines to help with all of my weight induced illnesses	Taking only Vitamins
Choose to sit and watch TV and not move	Fitting in a workout or walk every chance I get
Not have a success story to tell	Sharing my Weight Loss story with hundreds of people this past year
Only be able to shop at “Big Girl Stores”	Being able to purchase clothes in ANY store I choose!
Be unhappy with myself	Finding new happiness within my soul
Be dreamless	Having the dream of becoming the most amazing Weight Loss Leader EVER on the planet Earth!

I know that WW has morphed over the years, but the common theme is still there! Eat Less, Move More… it works like a charm!! And thank you, Ms. Nidetch, for caring enough about the real struggles of weight loss to found Weight Watchers— and single handedly giving me a life that I never thought was possible!!

Dear Weight Watchers: Have You Missed Me?

You know those times in your life when events unfold around you and you allow yourself to become distracted from the things that mean the very most to you in your life? Well, I am a living that exact thing right this second! And guess what thing that I care about was the simplest item to dismiss from my day to day attention? Weight Watchers!

 After all, let’s think about this! When I am stressed out, do I really have time to count points on the box of crackers which I am plowing through? When I have new and exciting things happening in my life, do I really want to take time to track and write down all of my food? And when in the world am I supposed to squeeze in some exercise? I mean, I’ve got things I’ve got to do! I can’t possibly exercise! And, since I am so busy and haven’t been on plan for a while, then it makes the most sense that I wouldn’t go to my Weight Watchers meeting either! Who wants to stand on the scale and see another 4 pound gain?

Giving up is easy! I know what it feels like to give up on things, but one thing that I refuse to give up on is reaching my goal weight!

We often use the catch phrase “fell off the wagon” when we talk about Weight Watchers. Well, I think it is fair to say that I have jumped off the wagon, the wagon is on fire and has rolled down a big hill and fell over a cliff and broke into 274 million pieces! The wagon that I was in control of is now gone! But the good news is that I know exactly how to build another bigger and better wagon! I am collecting my lumber, gathering some nails and finding the pattern to make a brand new one!

 Now, let me go back and revisit some of my earlier questions and answer with a rebuttal:

 Do I really have time to count points? Of course I do! That’s all part of the planning process! When I make the effort to be prepared for my meals and my snacks, then I am not caught off guard and end up making poor choices!

 Do I have time to sit down and track all of my food intake? Naturally, I do! There was a time in my journey when I loved to do the tracking! Looks like it is time to start falling in love again with the process of getting to my goals!

 Exercise! Seriously, I do enjoy exercise! I honestly can’t believe that I wrote that, but I really do enjoy it! It used to be so much a part of my everyday life that it was automatic like brushing my teeth! But I have gotten lazy and that makes me sad! It’s time to get up, put on my shoes, put on some clothes that make me feel like I am working out and then hit the pavement! No excuses allowed!!

As for missing my meetings, most of those occurrences have been because of work obligations, but there is no excuse for me to miss a weigh in! For Pete sakes, the Middle Tennessee Weight Watchers office is at the end of the road where I work! There should be no good excuse! However, I can find one all the time! And missing my meetings is what I am most ashamed of! I need my Fat Church meetings! That is where I get refueled for the next week. Some of my best friends are sitting in those seats next to me and when I am not there, I miss them and I know that they miss me too! So, I am recommitting to being in Franklin Tennessee at 9 o’clock every single Wednesday! Nothing else can take precedence over that timeslot! It’s too important to me to let that happen!!

Part of this rebuilding process is to work towards finding balance in my life versus expecting perfection! I can’t be perfect, but I can locate a nice balance in my life, in all aspects of my life!

I have missed you greatly Weight Watchers! I look forward to being welcomed back in your loving arms!

Dear Weight Watchers: Why Am I Doing This?

Dear Weight Watchers: Why Am I Doing This?

I have 70 more pounds to lose. I’ve lost well over 100 pounds already! But, I’m at a stand still. I have lost that fire of an unwavering willpower. And it has landed me on an island– much more than a plateau!

Without a doubt, I know Weight Watchers works! I am the biggest cheerleader that WW has…. And I’m not even on the payroll (yet)! But, why in the world am I still doing this?

When I walked in the door at WW, I had a wheelbarrow full of determination and desire to reach my goals. French Fries couldn’t tempt me! I would hold strong no matter what– exercising like a crazy woman!

I wasn’t doing it so someone would think I was pretty. I didn’t keep working at it because I wanted my parents to be proud of me. I didn’t get up at 4am to workout so that someone else would be impressed. I was the sole reason that I was eating less and moving more! But, where has that passion gone??

I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of apathy…. I no longer have a mental meltdown when I step on the scale and gain 3 pounds in a week— I just accept it and move on. If I lose 3 pounds— I just accept it and move on. There’s no punishment or reward, like there used to be when I was passionate about my efforts.

Somewhere, deep inside me, there are a million reasons why I should still be working on this!

I want to feel even better than I do now!

I want to discover new things that I can do when I’m even smaller than I currently am.

I want to fearlessly approach life!

I want to wear Capri pants this summer.

I want to be someone that others are inspired by— everyday!

I want to lead my own Weight Watchers meetings!

I want my rear end to look great in a pair of “non-mom”  jeans!

I want to feel strong with every step that I take!

I want to know that I did all of this for ME!!

Each day, I need to renew my reasons for ‘Why am I doing this?” I want to be the best person I can be for longest period of time that I am allowed to live on this Earth!

Dear Weight Watchers: I didn’t want to do it!

Dear Weight Watchers: I didn’t want to do it!

Last week, I reluctantly decided to try the Simply Filling Technique. What was the worst that would happen? I’d gain a couple of more pounds? That’s what was already happening!

So, I went to the grocery store and bought foods I had been avoiding for years while I’ve been counting points. Potatoes, rice, fresh produce were in my buggy and I was silly happy about enjoying some of my old favorites!!

This morning, I waltzed into WW and had my confrontation with the Metal Monster. I stepped on the scale and Rita Sue, the best WW Leader on planet Earth, squealed!! So, I knew the news was good! I dropped 6 pounds this week! That’s right– SIX POUNDS!

Thus, next week I’m doing Simply Filling again! If I can have another loss, that will be a giant motivational factor for me! I’m fighting my way to my goal weight…. 71 more pounds to go, 109 pounds gone!!

Dear Weight Watchers: Stop Nagging! I’ll Do It!

I’ve heard about it for years now. People in my Fat Church Meetings are always raving over how much they love it…. And this Thursday, I’m gonna try it! However, I’m scared out of my wits!

For 4 years, I have followed the WW plan while counting Point Plus Values (PPV) of food… Doing math everyday so I can know how many points I overuse (because I haven’t stayed within my points for a day in such a long time!). Needless to say, there are several clear reasons that I’ve gained back 20 of the 130 pounds I had lost.

So, I’m biting the bullet and I’m gonna give Simply Filling a chance! It’s a major shake up for me and I am hoping it’s gonna help get some losses on the metal monster within the next few weeks.

What’s Simply Filling? Well, you can eat ‘as much of’ the foods on the WW Power Food list without tracking and calculating the PPV. If you eat anything that isn’t on the Power Foods list, then you deduct those PPV from the 49 weekly points we all have.

What makes this so scary to me? I do not have a ‘Full Button’. I struggle with the concept of “I no longer need to eat even though there may still be food available”. I have made fun of the “Simply Filling” plan because if I had a full button then I wouldn’t need Weight Watchers in the first place. That’s how I got to 363.6 pounds…..  But it is beyond time to shake it up!

And here is why I think that this plan may work for a good jumpstart to my weight-loss again. Here is my current train of thought: I will not eat rice or a potato because there are too many points in those items. But I will have no problem using seven or nine points for tortilla chips, a bag of popcorn, or useless snacks! So for the first time in about four years, I am going to start enjoying whole grains and more filling foods again because I have been doing without them for that amount of time.

This is going to be very difficult for me however if you know me, rest assured, I have planned. I have made lists, I have a Board full of Simply Filling ideas on Pinterest, and have planned my meals accordingly. So now this gets real!

After all, what’s the worst that can happen? I have another gain on the scale next week? I’m already doing that….so, it’s worth a Shake Up investment of 2 weeks on the Simply Filling Plan to see what happens…… I’m sure I will have a great success story to tell next month!!

Don’t forget to look me up on Facebook at Chickabloga Kelle Daggett

SHAKING IT UP!!!

Remember that Chick who writes those blogs that start out ‘Dear Weight Watchers….” And remember some of your favorite blogs like $588 is a lot of Money and My Resignation Letter to Weight Watchers?? Well, that Chick is still around— I have just decided to SHAKE THINGS UP A LITTLE!!!

I’m rolling out a new blog name…it’s the same funny, real, down to earth blogs that you have loved in the past, just refreshed! The prior blog was kelledee.wordpress.com … but the new one is Chickabloga!! What a strange name you may say—- and you are correct! It’s a little off center and just a bit peculiar….JUST LIKE ME!! This name was the brain child of The Boy, my 13 year old son. We were chatting about what my new blog might be called and he spouted out “What about Chick-a-blog-a??”  It was pure brilliance!!

For those of you who do not know, my hometown is very precious to me! I always refer to it as “The Happiest Place on Earth”…because it is to me! If my world was perfect, I would have never left Chickamauga, GA!! But, I did– and I am always planning as many trips as I can to get back there! The correct way to pronounce the city’s name is “Chick-A-Mog-a”… but most people massacre that… so for years, I have affectionately called it The Mog!  So, without a doubt, I would love for my new blog name to pay homage to my hometown, Chickamauga! Thus, CHICKABLOGA was born!

Along with this new blog, I am also starting a new Facebook page to coincide with my Weight Loss Chronicles. Currently, I only have my own personal page…and not everyone may wish to know things that I publish on my personal page. Let’s be honest, I am somewhat of a Facebook professional and I have been known to excessively post from time to time (insert sarcastic eye roll here).  So, the new Facebook page is Chickabloga Kelle Daggett.

My long term goal is to lose this final 70 pounds (I have lost 110 pounds already), so I can get to my goal weight… and then, watch out Weight Watchers International!! I’m bringing an amazing resume to you and I want a job….so, I can work with Hearing Impaired members, Spanish speaking members and other members like me— who are struggling to get healthy, once and for all!!

So, here is my shameless plug– please Share this post on your Facebook pages. Please come over to my New Facebook Page and be my friend there! Be patient while I get this up and running, but I can promise you 3 things:  You will laugh, You will be entertained and You will be inspired to do things that you didn’t know you could!!

Thanks Y’all!! I’m trying to make it to the big time and I need your help to get there!

 

A Blog for My Dog!

My sweet MollyDog –

As silly as it is to write a letter to a dog, it just seems appropriate for me to do.

Dec 1, 2001— you came into my life! I didn’t want you! I was angry at Stacy for wasting $150 on a dog that I was terrified of. What if you peed on me, or tried to eat my face off while I was sleeping? But he insisted because he wanted a dog and you were on sale at the Smyrna Flea Market!

Over the next few months, you were in a kennel for weeks at a time. We were traveling all the time and just like I had told him, we didn’t need a dog! When we were at home, I didn’t want to be the one responsible for you…. But I was!

Sometimes, when you would go out to potty and be gone for an hour, I would hope that you had run away and just wouldn’t come back home! But, you always showed back up, happy to see me!

As time went on, you somehow morphed into being ‘my puppy’. You slept in the windowsill on my side of the bed, with one of your paws gently placed on my forehead. When you needed food or attention, you would find me….. And I even grew to be able to tolerate you.

Then, in 2003, our lives got turned upside down. You never understood what happened, but during that year, our relationship grew stronger than ever! You were all I had! With Stacy traveling with the band all the time, we were used to being alone for long periods of time… But he used to always come home on Sundays. But, after May of 2003, no one was coming home on Sunday night anymore. And the loneliness was almost paralyzing. But, we had each other. As I would sit on the couch, squalling from the heartbreak of the divorce, you always knew to jump up next to me and just be…. Just be there, sitting nearby! You grew to be my best friend.

I looked forward to coming home to you because you needed me, and I needed you.

You never learned one trick. You never would respond to a single command (unless it involved hearing a package of cheese open). You beg and bark to be fed from the table. You pee on the carpet… You still aren’t 100% housebroken. But, the one thing that I am today is 100% heartbroken.

When we brought you home from the flea market, the breeder gave me a poem… And it haunted and guilted me for years! It basically said ‘Please don’t leave me at home too long because you are all that I have– while you have your job and your friends.’ And it said ‘When the time comes for me to go to heaven, please be there with me. Don’t make me go alone.’ Today, was the day I had been fearful of since 2001. But, my Flea Market Puppy, you have made my life so special. I hope that your life has been fun and full of joy!

B-Y-E  M-O-L-L-Y!

Dear Weight Watchers: This hasn’t exactly gone like I expected!

Four years ago, I was flirting with the idea of becoming a Weight Watchers member. I had no idea what I was doing, how much it cost, how people knew how many points were in a chicken salad, or if this was just going to be another failed attempt at losing weight! But, on January 7, 2011 I decided to make a life-long commitment to Weight Watchers.

And let me tell you, I thought we would have been a lot further along in our relationship by now. Without a doubt, I thought I would be at my goal weight a couple of years ago. However, things just haven’t worked out that way!

I dropped 100 pounds the first year!! Then 30 pounds in year two…. And I am currently sitting at a total of 113 pounds lost! WHAT HAPPENED?? I’ve been gaining and losing the same 20 pounds, over and over again for 2 years! And I’m STILL doing it!! The madness simply must stop!!

This past year, I did my first half-marathon (notice I said FIRST—I plan on doing more after my knee-replacements). I was featured on the Weekly Weight Watchers Magazine for going from walking with a cane to doing the Half-Marathon. And then, the greatest thing that has happened to me in my WW world occurred!! People wanted to hear my story… I was invited to speak at dozens of WW meetings in the Middle TN area!! By far, this has been the highlight of my entire year!! I met so many amazing people who have inspired me along the way! I met leaders who have influenced me to want more than ANYTHING to become an employee of WW and do bunches of meeting every week… and I really do want to work for Corporate WW too!! I believe in the plan—because it works! It is a plan that you can follow for the rest of your life for a healthy lifestyle! It’s been a banner year for me in the Weight Watchers world—– so, why in the tarnation am I gaining weight???

The answer to that took some soul searching that I didn’t want to deal with—until now! I’m stagnate, only moving in the wrong direction. Deep in my heart, there’s a sadness and void that I’m dealing with fixing… and it’s infiltrated into all aspects of my life! I don’t exercise everyday anymore. I only track my food about 35% of the time, and then it may not even be HONEST tracking. My passion has disappeared. My willpower has left the building!

Until today…. I had a slight glimpse of the Weight Watcher Rockstar Kelle that I used to know!

Yesterday, I prepared all lunches and dinners, just like I do every week. This morning, I put my grocery sack full of food in the car to go to work with me. I had gotten my hair done early this morning and when I was going into work, it was pretty close to lunch time. And the first thought that I had was “Well, I’m already gonna have about a 6 pound gain this week, I’ll just swing through McDonald’s and get lunch on my way into the office.” As I got closer to McD’s, I had this strange feeling that was swelling up in me…it was familiar to me, but I hadn’t felt it in a long, long time! It was WILLPOWER!! When I first joined WW, I had unwavering Willpower!! Nothing could shake me…. Then I got complacent. And that’s when I started gaining and losing on the roller coaster. I drove past McD’s, reached behind my seat in the car and grabbed an apple. I munched on it on the way to work, then ate my chicken salad that I had planned for lunch today!! Weight Watcher Rockstar Kelle Is Back!!! I am working on getting my passion back! It’s the key to my success!!

The picture below is very sad to me… but something that I needed to see!! The left was at 363.6 pounds before joining WW. The middle picture is when I had lost 130 pounds. The picture on the right is today at 113 pounds lost! Starting this morning, when I drove past McD’s, was my first step working towards getting back to the middle picture. And once I get there, I have 50 more pounds to lose!

Weight Watchers, I can do this! I will do this…. And soon, you will find my resume on your desk and I will be the best employee you have ever had!!
