She was the cheerful leader that inspired all that attended her sessions. She inspired each of us with her real-life weight loss journey that surprisingly resembled each of our own. For seven years she was there even when some of us, like me, were not. Last week our Weight Watchers @Work leader, Ty Gardener, unexpectedly left our account and left a void.
The new leader is very energetic, knowledgeable and over time will do a great job I'm sure. But losing weight is such a different kind of struggle - one that requires trust, mental connection, along with information. For many years our Weight Watchers group were fortunate. We had a constant coach who was there to celebrate our incremental successes as well as encourage us when we had the periodic slips.
Anyone who has struggled with weight can tell you that sometimes all it takes is an encouraging word to keep you motivated. I will miss our cheerleader, Ty. I didn't realize how important that weekly connection was unfortunately, until it was no longer there. Ty, the Wednesday @work session will miss you. Take care.
