The emotional roller coaster of losing weight and then trying to maintain it.
Confessions of a Fat Girl

Weighing in

This morning, I was on my way to my Weight Watchers meeting and for once, I was not really looking forward to going. I had talked myself into not being disappointed when I stepped on the scale. I didn't have a very good week...remember, I couldn't get full. I was constantly eating and didn't do much as far as exercise (like that's a surprise!). I kept telling myself that it was okay and that I had probably only gained about a pound...maybe two. I wasn't looking at it as a setback, but as life just happening. Life does have to happen, you know.

Well, I stepped on the scale and almost fell over. For some reason, and I am not sure how or why or what I did differently, but I lost. Big. In fact, this was my biggest loss since December 10, which is when I lost 4.8 pounds in one week. For this week, which my weeks run Wednesday to Wednesday, I lost 3.4 pounds. Seriously, I couldn't believe it - three point four pounds. I was elated. Ecstatic. Shocked. Stupified. Happy!

I have now reached a total of 28.4 pounds lost since November 16, 2008. I am so close to my goal...less than 10 pounds away.

Yeah.
