Worker Bee…

I was supposed to discuss the meeting helper position with my leader last night. We were so busy that she pushed me behind the counter and put me to work. I registered 2 newbies, took $, made nametags, and weighed 3 people. It felt so strange being on the other side of the WW counter. Honestly, I felt a little paranoid. I began wondering what members were thinking when they saw me…

Why is she able to work here? She’s fat…

Too bad I couldn’t wear a sign stating how much I’ve lost. Well, I could…but that would rank high on the Tacky List. Never judge a book by its cover…especially a book that used to be the size of War & Peace…lost 185+ lbs and decreased to the size of Harry Potter #4. LOL

Anyway, I enjoyed the experience. My leader is making the position permanent. I think this will keep me on track and get me to goal. She knows that too…sneaky devil. I’ll have more details about the success story next week. The Dallas WW franchise was purchased by WW International and apparently they are big on recognizing major losses. Very cool.

I haven’t taken a before jeans pic in 6 months, so here ya go. I think Braxton was amused by my struggle to stand up in the Jeans From Hell. I am amazed everytime I put them on…great motivation. By the way, that’s my special Lance tribute shirt. Love him…Sheryl Crow be damned!

 

Hope everyone has a great day…it’s almost Friday!

Wow! That is such an awesome picture! CONGRATS! BTW, if you don’t mind me asking, how do you go about gettng a WW helper position? Also, does it pay or is is more a volunteer type thing? J/C.

Congratulations!!! You are doing so super! What an inspiration.

February 12, 2004

OMG that’s all I’ve got to say… well other than YOU LOOK FABULOUS.

February 12, 2004

OMG That picture is beautiful! It is motivating me! You have come so far and you look gorgeous!

February 12, 2004

All I know is I better be getting a personalized, autographed copy of whatever it is. šŸ™‚

I don’t know about the Sheryl/Lance thingie, but I sure am PROUD of you : ) Your new pic looks fabulous!

February 12, 2004

OMG…you are looking so SKINNY!!!!! will i recognize you this weekend?

February 12, 2004

I LOVE that pic, what a classic! WW should do a whole magazine on you and put that pic on the cover instead of some random model! Dayum! That is cool that your leader put you to work like that, I love it when I get thrusted into the action. Even though sometimes I end up doing that receptionist thing and I *like* doing that part, I try to not do it often because they aint paying me to do it.

February 12, 2004

That whole WW not paying you until you reach goal is a crock, not being an Equal Op Employer is a crock. It’s fun, but don’t let them do that to you too much because THEY get paid for the work you are doing behind the counter. I mean, I don’t know your leader or peeps at your WW and I’d hope to think that they would not take advantage of you, but I have felt it time-to-time at my WW …

and it can annoy me. I guess I just resent having lost all this weight and not being able to stand behind the counter and get PAID to help like the other people who work at my center do. Ramble vent ramble… RYN about the hair, Hehee. Yeah, isn’t big hair s’posed to be making a comeback or something. Let me dig out my teasing comb from the 80’s!

You know, you don’t look fat…they are probably thinking “I wish I was her”. What’s wrong with getting a special t-shirt made up to celebrate your weight loss? You could get an extra, extra large and stencil on the outline of your original jeans so you could instantly show the new members how much progress you have made.

February 12, 2004

DAMN GIRL!!!!!! YOU LOOK FABOO!!!!!!!! I better get my heifer ass moving otherwise you will out-diva me in September!!!! *LOL* šŸ™‚

February 12, 2004

You look great. I love your jaw line. It’s gorgeous. šŸ™‚

Bloody hell! You’ve lost so much, you could put one of you in each of those legs! How could they look at you and say you’re fat now? Well done you šŸ™‚

February 12, 2004

You’d make a fabulous WW leader, and I really do hope it happens some day. I’m glad you have a chance to get involved, even if it is just shuffling papers. As it is, you’re a fantastic inspiration to many people here. PS. I haven’t read your diary in a while, and you look amazing! I can see a huge change in your face from even a few months ago. *Smiles*

You are AWESOME!! Bow down to the WWDiva!!! Smooches…

February 12, 2004

TRULY AMAZING…I JOINED CURVES, AND I LOVE IT…

You are DOING THE THANG, GIRL!!! You look fabulous! šŸ™‚ Audrea (long time unregistered reader/fan)

RYN: Nope, no picture… Silly me šŸ™‚ I am so stoked about September. Oprah hasn’t called me back yet, silly woman!

Courtney, your leader is very fortunate to have you there to help out. I can’t imagine that anyone who meets you views you as a fat girl. You look super-athletic to me! You are simply gorgeous…if anything they would be captivated by your beauty and charm. Nevertheless I’m awestruck by your accomplishments, not just weight loss, but the athletic feats. You inspire the heck out of me. Kelley

RYN: Don’t forget Six Flags!!!!! We’ll have to scream for joy on EVERY coaster as we strap in and leave everyone wondering what we’re so happy about! *LOL* As for the boobages, they are ALL yours girl. Hope we’re the same blood type so there’s no fear of rejection *LOL* I watched extreme makeover last night and they sucked fat out of a woman’s stomach and stuck it in her cheeks to… (cont)

You look absolutely positively Divalicious, Courtney!

February 16, 2004

oh my god you can’t even see yourself behind the jeans. AMAZING. I actually started visiting because oyu were posting recipes… and I wanted/needed to keep cooking healthy. congrats. May a tee shirt that says -(total loss) and shrinking would be appropriate.
