weighing in...

Last night was the first Thursday of the month, right? So, what do we do??? We weigh in at Weight Watchers!

I lost a whopping 4.2 lbs. That really is spread over a 2-month time period though. If you remember, last month I was just coming off my 3-Day walk and had a tremendous about of swelling in my legs and feet (so much so that I couldn't even wear regular shoes!) and I was up .4 lb. So really, the 4.2 lbs. loss is like 2.1 for the month of September and 2.1 for the month of October. So don't be alarmed, I'm NOT getting too thin.

I'm happy just where I am and I've lost a total of 45.8 lbs. Although, I must admit, I am wishing I could lose 4.2 more lbs. just so I could get that 50 lb. star ;~) but I'd better not do that.

Everybody around me is freaking out because they think I've lost too much. Which, of course, I haven't. I'm well within the "normal" range for my age and height. It's just that we have grown so accustomed to seeing fat people that our perception of what is "normal" has changed. When you see someone that is "normal" now, you think they look too thin, when in fact, they are normal.
