WW blog: Gold member Natasha on maintaining her goal weight
Your WW journey doesn’t end when you reach goal weight. Maintaining comes with its own challenges – and we’re here to support you the whole way.
Going back to the start…
Looking back to September 2013 when I first started my WW journey, I remember wanting to feel confident in my clothes again. This was when I took the step to join my local WW Workshop. I already knew WW from years before when I had joined and then stopped. This was my third time joining up again.
I followed the plan and got to goal, becoming a gold member in January 2014. There were no fireworks or pieces of confetti falling from the ceiling, but I’ve got to admit it felt good to feel comfortable in myself.
At this point, I kept going to get weighed and was ‘kind of’ following the plan. But that’s just what I was telling myself, when deep down I knew I wasn’t. This continued for two years, until gradually I found my way back to my start weight. I’d been lying to myself about maintaining, and as a result I no longer felt good about myself, and I was no longer at goal.
