I can lose the weight. You can't lose the stupid!
No, not you guys, you don't have the stupid. It's those other guys.
So my jeans are feeling a bit saggy. I can pull them off without unzipping them. I'm inordinately proud of this fact. It's a wonder I don't go around showing everyone. I just tried on a pair of jeans that is a size smaller than what I normally wear, I keep 'em around for just this type of experiment. They fit. So I did a cheat weigh in. Supposed to only weigh yourself once a week. My day is Saturday.
Here is the thing, in Weight Watchers, the first goal they have you set is to lose 10% of your total body weight. Well, I surpassed it. And then some. I've lost a total of 21.8 lbs in about six weeks. According to WW, I am losing weight too quickly. More than 2lbs a week. But what's a girl to do? I'm even cheating! Yesterday, I was a very naughty girl! I'm definitely not eating too little. Trust me. I snack all day long at work. And I did not drink all my waters yesterday. Or today.
I'm not going to stress about it, because I am sure I will plateau any minute now. And then i will be all sad, and remember the days when I was just showering the weight off. Besides, it's hard to be too upset about being successful on a diet, you know what I mean?

Comments closed on older entries, whenever I get around to it, to avoid spam.Wow, bravo! I tried to lose weight recently. I am fortunate that I've never had a weight problem...maybe a tiny bit underweight when I was young, but was able to eat anything in any quantity with little effect. In the last year, it all caught up with me and I gained 5 kilos some how. I need to loose 4 of these to be in the middle of ideal weight...and I just can't do it. Therefore I have huge admiration for anyone who can loose weight, keep it off and be cheerful in the process.

No, but you can go around telling everyone. That's just as fun. Almost.

nicely done, jodes! that's amazing! i think losing weight too quickly is mostly a problem when people are doing stupid things like crash diets.
