Day 6

Oh baby, day 6! Tomorrow I will have done this for a whole week! Its strange, I'm having a good time so far. Now, this isn't to say that it has been easy. No no no. There have been moments even in this first week where I have had to talk myself out of quitting, and running to the nearest Golden Corral, or eating the very pointy thing that someone is offering. Its just that every single time I make the right choice I feel so good. In that moment I feel a little regret too, I mean come on people! I am addicted to food. I am having fun eating new things, and learning healthier ways to cook the things I love. I am enjoying learning portion sizes! Who knew!

I went to Weight Watchers today. I got there on time and was weighed. I weigh...417.8! I could be sad about that, but lets face it: I weighed myself over a month ago and weighed the same. I could have gained and then lost, or I could have maintained. Even having maintained is good for me, especially when I dont really know what I weighed last Tuesday when I started this parade down Diet Street.

As far as the actual meeting goes, it was nice. The people there are so genuine and good. I'm not sure how I feel about the meeting leader though. She seems a little rushed, but there were so many of us, and so many questions etc. I want so badly to go every single week, and I want to keep this thing going! I want these meetings and these weigh ins to help hold me accountable for my behavior. I did go to the 50+lbs to lose meeting and I was still noticeably the largest person there. I don't care! Well, I mean, I do...but not enough to stop going. I am going to be there in the program longer than anyone else in that room (assuming everyone stays with the diet the right way). I have to stop being discouraged by the idea that people could look at me. We are all there for the same reason.

I walked last night with the dogs, and I walked tonight with my lab mix at the track. I did 3/4 of a mile. Tomorrow I want to try and do a whole mile. I need to remember to bring water with me, for myself and my dogs. I am hoping to get Chad out one last time to take the rest of the dogs for a walk too.

Points aren't coming easy today. But I have like two more hours before an hour before bedtime (is that confusing?). I want to close my kitchen by 3am every night, an hour before bed.
