Margaret's Poem

Margaret gave me this poem after the meeting tonight in Payson. She wrote it in 1980! It is wonderful, and really hits the nail on the head!

Evening is the time of day
When mornings commitments fade away.
And losing weight must be steady
So I must get my mindset ready.

So when these cravings come past three
I want to remember the "Morning Me."
Who sets a goal and sees the end
Let "evening me" be "morning me's" friend.

Remember what choices will fill the bill
Use that wonderful, selective will.
I'm the only person who can make me win
So choose the food to make me thin!
~Margaret Leckie
1980

Also, I have a request... you got any good recipes for oatmeal raisin cookies? You know, one with lots of fiber, very crunchy and nutty, and not so much calories? Thanks! Keep blogging and running!

Marion Who???

Hi!!! My name is Marion, and I am Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers. I have been overweight my entire adult life. I started living the Weight Watchers life style early in 2006 after my 6th child was born. I became a Lifetime Member in January 2008. I lost 82 pounds. I am currently on a quest to 30 more pounds. This blog is a diary of ramblings, recipes, funnies and other information for anyone who would like to follow my journey. I am a VERY real person, who LOVES food as much as anything else. I mess up ALL of the time, so don't expect perfection, you won't find it here ;D ....and it's OK to laugh at me. I'd love to hear from you...SO LEAVE A COMMENT OF TWO!!!
