Weigh-in Monday
Thanks for the encouraging comments on my last post. You were right: The week wasn’t a total loss!
Yep. I actually posted a loss … down 1 pound from last Monday’s weigh-in. (And since I did the evening weigh-in instead of my usual noon one, and I’d just taken a 40-minute walk, I may actually have lost more than that!)
I was glad to see the scale go down, even if it didn’t go down the full two pounds I wanted it to. (I figured out that I need to lose 2 pounds a week to get to my goal weight before my brother and sister-in-law have their baby in November … and since I don’t want to be the fat, unhealthy aunt, I definitely want to reach that goal. I was the fat bridesmaid, and that was enough.)
It’s funny, though. I should have been really happy to have lost a pound, but all I could think was “I wish it had been more.” Why can’t I just be happy with what I DID achieve? It’s no small task after all.
