Tia Marie’s “Why”

In Weight Watchers we are told to remember

our “why” which is why we started this program.

For me my “why” was because my life was

flipped upside down. I needed to create a new

and improved me which started with this weight

loss journey.

At the end of 2017 I weighed 338 pounds the

biggest I had ever weighed in my life. I’ve always

been a heavier girl, but I was at this point in my

life where I had been married 4 years and got

comfortable and was not paying attention to my

health. Then, in November 2017, like I said, my

world got turned upside down. My husband told

me he wanted a divorce. At that point in time,

I had a choice to make. I could drown my pain Before

Page 2: a good health newsletter from Weight Watchers of …...In Weight Watchers we are told to remember our “why” which is why we started this program. For me my “why” was because

by eating a ton of food (like I usually did), or

I could change my life and become a better

healthier me.

I choose to be a better me, and the best help

ever happened just in time! I work at Davinci

Virtual Office Solutions (www.davincivirtual.

com), and my work decided to offer to pay for

their employees to participate in the Weight

Watchers program for those who wanted to

become healthier versions of themselves.

We had so many people sign up to try the

program that we filled up two lunch classes!

My manager, Asia, here at

Davinci Virtual is the one that

inspired me to sign up because

she said that she would do the

program with me. Each week

at work, we motivate each

other to eat better. We share

what worked for us that week

and what new foods we found

to eat that were fewer points.

That helped inspire me to

keep going.

Our first week on the program

we didn’t have access to the

app yet and I didn’t track my

food at all because I hated trying to figure out

how many points things were and manually

writing it all down. Then we got the app and

it was so easy to use. I was astonished at

how many points some of the foods that I

regularly ate were. So, I got rid of almost all

my high points food I had at home and ate

differently when I went out to eat. I used my

app to see what foods have the least amount

of points. Don’t get me wrong, I still had my

treat day, but overall, I ate a lot better and it

changed everything for me.

After one round with Weight Watchers, I lost

34 pounds! Then thankfully Davinci Virtual

decided to offer to pay for another round

of Weight Watchers. I feel like the second

round was a lot harder and slower for me

with more little losses than big ones. I hated

seeing only 0.8 pounds loss for a week! BUT

my coworkers and my coach,

Linda, kept telling me any

loss is still a loss. It made me

mad because I wanted that

50-pound charm so bad! But

I kept going, eating better

and exercising. I started doing

Zumba, and I love it! Then

finally, after only 21 weeks on

the program, I finally hit my

50-pound weight-loss goal!

Thankfully Davinci Virtual

has decided to keep offering

the program, so my next goal

is 100 pounds and I can do it!

I feel better, lighter, happier and healthier all

thanks to Davinci Virtual, support from my

family and coworkers, and especially because

of the Weight Watchers program

Hasselback Pizza Chicken Servings 4

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts.

32 slices of turkey pepperoni

2 oz. light mozzarella

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 large egg

2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a knife, cut 4-5

horizontal slices (halfway down) along the middle

of each chicken breast. Press 2 slices of turkey

pepperoni into each cut of chicken breast (8 slices of

turkey pepperoni per breast) and stuff mozzarella

evenly into each cut & repeat with each chicken

breast (using 1/2 oz. mozzarella per chicken breast).

2. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has

been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. In a small

bowl, whisk egg with 2 tsp water. Using a pastry

brush, brush the tops of each chicken breast with

egg wash (this allows the chicken to brown).

3. Cook in preheated oven for about 40 minutes or

until chicken is cooked throughout.

4. Serve with 1/2 cup marinara sauce on top or on

the side.
