Weigh-in April 23rd

There were of course more than a few possible titles for today's entry, but I went with the obvious.

So what have we all been waiting for? I weighed 67.8 kilos today, a loss of 200 grams. I now have 3.8 kilos remaining to lose before I hit my goal.

Of course I was disappointed, I would be lying if I said I was happy with that result, but as I said to mr. ralph as I was leaving the meeting, "it is better than nothing." And to that he smiled and said, "that's right."

As we were driving along I asked him if he was surprised that I wasn't more upset about the weigh-in and he said, "No, because I think you were prepared for it, but I also think you will have a much bigger loss this week."

What a great man I have.

All my crying and complaining this week inspired an entry by a new reader of mine Meg. She along with a lot of others have been very helpful this week. I don't think I could have made it this far and still be going without it. If you have the time it is a great entry to read, especially if you are losing weight.

Today I brought home with me a color copy of the application for the WW Slimmer of the Year Award. I thought if I put it somewhere in my house where I can see it everyday this will be an additional reminder that I have something immediate to aim for. Without that I could let this last few kilos linger too long, and I just don't want that to happen.

If I make it I of course will be over the moon, but if I don't, well, I can always apply next year. The thing is I will always be a former fat girl revamped into a healthier, thinner version. I have to settle in for the long-haul and know that this part, this is just the beginning even though it seems like I'm getting closer to the end.

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
