What Have You Done Today To Make You Feel Proud?

Yes, I drank the Kool-Aide. I mean come on we all know at least one person who has done well with Weight Watchers (WW). It seems to be a program that we all can do so what the heck. My health has stabilized to a point where I can enjoy life again and can leave the house and exercise so this is a great time to start.

I bit the bullet last Wednesday and drove to a meeting. Everyone seemed nice, but coupled with someone. Got to get a weight loss buddy that is local. I stood in line for a half an hour which that in itself should be adapted to Activity Points. Once it was my turn I swear to God I did everything to prolong the enviatable, THE SCALE. Oh, it is not like I don't know how much I weigh. With my frequent visits to my doctors I readily jump on the scale for them when asked. There is something jumping on the scale when it isn't a medical proffessional who is weighing you. I just kept telling myself she has seen worse.

Then we have the important question to answer: Shoes or no shoes? Now I don't have to tell you larger girls that bending down to put your shoes on sucks. I mean we have rolls we have to contend with when we bend over. "Oh, what the heck", I thought. "Let's keep them on". Seriously, I may weigh a pound or so more, but come summer time when I want a bigger loss I can just put on some sandals instead of my heavey Sketchers.

Fine, we solved that problem and get on the scale. Silence. I swear I heard crickets. All those times getting weighed in at TOPS, I was waiting for my results. Nothing! They don't tell you unless you ask, but they write it down for you. Whew! I think I might like this place. Just one question, how the heck did I gain ten pounds in three weeks? Damn Prednisone. Hey, I am on it and I am going to blame it. At least those ten pounds. I will take responsibility for the other 90 I gained.

Ya, I have 100 to lose. Gulp! Hey, I have lost 73 pounds before. I can do it. I am not even looking at the big picture, but just the week. I will be happy to lose one pound. If I lose more, I will be very happy. I am going on with blinders with this one. Just one week at a time. Can I get woot woot? What have you done lately to make you feel proud?
