I woke this morning with a sense of dread. So much of my life was careening around corners and crashing through doors at a pace I couldn’t keep up with much less try and control.
I rose slowly. Taking my time getting dressed. Walking down the stairs as though on my way to the gallows.
Then I heard the fateful words, “Ready to weigh?”
GOD I hate this dread of what the numbers show. I answered to the affirmative and began the ritual.
I stepped on the scales and tried to be patient. I tried not to look at the pad she was writing on, but I had to. My eyes widened. NO FRICKING WAY!!! I worked my ass off all week to lose. That number CANNOT be correct.
I mounted the scales a second time, as is the routine, and watched as she wrote the numbers down. HELLS NAW! A different number. Slightly lower. Within a pound of the other but a bit lower.
I did the math quickly in my head. The average. What is it?
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
I lost 10 pounds this week!!!!!

Way to freakin’ go, sweets! So proud of you!
I’ve lost 5 in, who knows how long, but at least it’s a little bit. I’m trying to eat healthier.
