Weigh-In Wednesday: 56.75kg

Welcome to my first installment of "Weigh-In Wednesdays!" Like I mentioned in the last entry I'm kinda on a "weight-loss journey" so...why not make a weight-loss journal?

I don't even know where to start so let's just start with today's actual weigh-in...drum roll please... 56.76kg!!

Oh my god, I can't believe I've put that out there on the internet for all to see. I don't care, I won't be at this weight for long. And anyway, it's a completely respectable weight and it's probably my lowest weight ever (I have a bad memory).

While I'm on a roll admitting things I usually keep a secret, I'll throw in another one: I joined Weight Watchers 10 weeks ago.

I know it's nothing to be ashamed of. But I guess my image of a person who joins Weight Watchers didn't mesh with the image that I had of myself. I know that's a terrible thing to say but I mean I didn't think anything bad about "people who join WW."

I guess what happened was I realized I've been doing the same thing and expecting different results. You know, that classic definition of insanity. So I tried something so different...something that I had just recently told my best friend she didn't need (or was that just something i was thinking and never said?). The reason that I didn't think I (and my friend) needed it was because I considered myself someone who was active and who ate well. I felt like it should come naturally. I guess I just wanted to be different from everyone else who's joined Weight Watchers. I wanted to do it on my own. But I'm over it now.

Even though I've been this weight before I know that I was there only because it was water weight. This time, I know that my body has changed and I wasn't starving myself or I hadn't just come off a 12 hour flight. I know there's been a change in my portion sizes and I'm willing to admit that I'm eating even better than before. Goddamn you, WW!!! Why'd you do this to me?

Now here I am 10 weeks and at a plateau. I'm optimistic though. This month's goal is to reach 54.5kg!! I'm almost frightened by that number!

So that's it for Weigh-In Wednesday. See ya next week.
