facing the music

Well I went to Weight Watchers tonight. I am up 1.4 pounds. My birthday bashing is blowing up in my face and around my waist... Here's to a new and hopefully weight losing week!

Wait!!!!

No, I'm not mistaken. I know how to spell WEIGHT! All fat people do. It's WAIT because I have been so busy I haven't had time to eat. I wasn't even waiting until this past week was over with to really worry about the WW meeting tomorrow night, it just sort of happened that way. My weight is the exact same that it has been for 9 days now. I was kinda stressed about it, but given that I have made over 600 cookies (not an exaggeration, I have a baking business) in the last 4 days; not to mention 192 mini cheesecakes, 65 cake balls, 42 pecan bars and enough butter cream to cover my butt, the fact that I haven't gained is a bloody freakin miracle!!! So, I'm gonna go to that meeting tomorrow night and when the woman announces my weight (which she is always inclined to do) I'm going to DARE ANYONE to ask me what the hell I've been doing for the past week!!! Weaker fat people would lick my arm for a taste of residual butter cream at the mere mention of it. Bring it on Weight Announcer!!!

No dieting on my birthday allowed!

Sorry Jonesie! Today was my birthday. I have to admit, it hasn't been a great week. I haven't gained, but I haven't lost. And after today (I had a piece of my favorite- mint chocolate chip ice cream cake--and we went to chinese buffet) I do not want to step on the scale until next Tuesday! I probably will still step up and face my consequences, but I will not be reporting them at this time! I am not getting dragged behind the horse. My horse is just stopping to drink some water, but I'm still riding on top! So, don't fret. I will be reporting more soon! I hope you are doing okay! Thanks for all the ((hugs)). They bring me lots of smiles! : )

Sorry Jonesie!

Sorry I haven't been posting much. This week has been stupid crazy and long and just won't end! My weight isn't even the biggest thing (and I do mean biggest) on my mind these days. I'm not feeling so hot right now (I'll get you Emily, and your little peetree dishes too! *say this in your best witch from the Wizard of Oz voice in your head*) and just want to lay in bed. I felt compelled to at least let you know that we are still out here and that we didn't disappear into fat air. I will try to actually blog about my weight and diet in the next day or so. It just depends on how I feel. Right now I just plan on laying down. Until next time, Jonesie!

Another Week

Another week under my belt and yet the belt is no looser. In fact, it is the exact same weight as last week. With the exception of Sat. with Emily at lunch I have been completely perfect. So what gives? Several things I could possibly chalk it up to: not eating enough, not drinking enough water (though I think I am), hormones (God hates women ; ), stress (but I'm relaxed so that can't be it), slow week because last week was decent with weight loss (2 lbs.) So, I'm not exactly sure what is going on but I'm worried, frustrated, scared that even Weight Watchers isn't going to work for me and mad that the scale isn't down like 10 lbs. Not really mad, it was just wishful thinking that I would step on this morning and it would dispel all fears by being a few lbs. lighter than yesterday. Oh well, I'm not quitting. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.

Update

So it has been one week and I am down 7 pounds. 212 this morning. Now, that was naked and in the morning, so WW would probably show only 5 pounds but still, I am happy. I have not felt like I have been dieting. AND this has been the most consistent weight loss I've had in years. On Brenda's diet I would yo yo 5 pounds daily depending if I cheated or not. I am happy with how things are going. Am I still fat? Yes. Am I doing something about it? Yes. Am I content with what I am doing? Yes.

Life is good.

My Stomach is....

Eating itself. I'm starving but am holding out for Greek and drinks with the women in my family. Don't worry, I'm eating and I just had an orange to hold me over but my stomach is making these God awful sounds in protest. I am down half a pound from yesterday. I can live with that. Like Emily said, this is going to take A LOT of patience. I'll let you know how good my night was in the morning. Happy Friday Night!!
