| | did you know that i'm still on weight watchers? i bet you didn't. it occurred to me that i don't really ever talk about this weight loss journey i'm on. you know what that usually means in my life? that i've given up.
usually, i start something, anything. i get very excited about it. i'm gung-ho, as they say. i talk about it all the time. and then... i quit. and anytime the subject comes up again, i blush like a strawberry and try to sink into my chair and simply pretend that no! i never tried to do that one thing! i was never obsessed with it! you have most assuredly mistaken me for someone else.
not this time, buddy. as of my meeting tonight, i have lost 31.8 pounds. my sister, who started up in san francisco the week before i did (in october) has lost 55 pounds. sometimes this is discouraging to me, and i wish i was doing as well as her. but most of the time, it inspires me to keep going, to catch up, to make her as proud of me as i am of her.
i still, scary as it sounds, have at least 20 pounds to lose. she has about the same, but that's because she wants to get skinnier than i feel i need to be.
it also scares me that i've been doing this for eight months, and i'm only half way there. and then i think, "i've been doing this for eight months!" "and i'm more than half way there!"
which, for me, is an extraordinary thing. because i know that one day, whenever, i will be at my goal weight. and not only will i look super hot and feel like a trillion bucks, but i will also have come a very, very, very long way. it's not easy at all, losing weight. but i'm doing it, and i'm doing it well.
so. that's my update.
thanks for listening.
