I have been weighing in every Monday to post my weight to my Weight Watchers online program. Of course, I have been weighing myself damn near every day just to make sure I am on track. I read that somewhere and thought it horribly obsessive, but here I am doing it!
I have been weighing in at the same weight for the last 3 weeks. It has been frustrating. I have been doing everything right - except when I was in St. Bernard Parish on my hurricane relief trip in which I ate everything I could see because I was hungry and didn't really like what they fed us. I haven't been exercising as often, but have been eating to compensate.
I did try on a pair of my smaller jeans and they fit! They were snug, yes, but I wore them an entire day without busting anything. It felt awesome. It also felt wonderful when one of my colleagues mentioned that she didn't think they were so snug. She could have been lying and I didn't care! I love her for the comment!
I weighed myself this morning expecting to be at the same point as Monday and - surprise - I have lost a couple pounds.
What I am most proud of is that, despite the fact that the scale hadn't budged in 3 weeks, I did not use that as an excuse to rush out and eat pizza, ice cream, chicken wings and all manner of other bad things because what's the difference. I said, well, at least you haven't gained. And you do feel better when you eat well.
And so it goes.
