Week 17 Weigh In

Last week's weight: 250.2
This week's weight: 252.4
Difference: +2.2
Total weight loss: -25.4



I can't say that I'm terribly surprised about this gain. Beer, pizza, brownies, tacos and chilaquiles all in one weekend will have that effect.

I'm concerned about this trend: whenever I have a day when I feel unstoppable, it is followed by a nosedive. Last Thursday, I wore a magical black dress. Every single man that I passed on Thursday checked me out or hit on me. Srsly. Including the court staff: "You're one of the most beautiful women who ever comes into our courtroom." Men walked up to me and handed me their cards. It was weird. But also awesome. (I mean, that's really the point of this whole exercise, right?)

So here's the problem: the next day? I'm still buoyant with the compliments. I'm bulletproof. And therefore, I can consume whatever I want.

Yeah, the logic is faulty.
Yeah, it's self-sabotaging.

(Hey, I just figured out the trend yesterday. I need a minute before I can solve it.)

Discussed this development with one of my WW buddies. She astutely observed that I seemed to be "rewarding" myself with food for a being awesome and perhaps a better (less self-sabotaging) reward would be a 1/2 chair massage.

I'll be vigilant again inappropriate rewarding from now on.
