Weigh in this morning, 244.5. Now I know why you shouldn't weigh yourself every day. What if, after 7 days of steady smallening, I am suddenly back up tomorrow. I will be so sad! Anyway, I spent some time looking for a weight loss ticker today because I am too lazy to make my own. I might just have to do that because so many of them seem to be about conceiving or holiday weight loss and I am not about either. We need a weight loss ticker for cool people, I think. The closest that I found was this one:

The problem with this is that it says phenforum.com on it. I totally don't approve of weight loss with drugs. I lost 70 pounds last time without any any any weight loss drugs. I don't even approve of "diets". Diets are for weak people who can't change their lives. Weak people who think they can spend a month doing something stupid, drop weight, then go back to being piggies and eating cheese fries. Anyway, I don't approve of this website at all, but will use the ticker until I find a better one. I hacked it and got rid of the actual link, but the words are in the image.

This ticker is really cool, though, because it made me realize that I only need to lose 75 pounds to get to goal weight. Having already dropped the first 70 or so, this is starting to sound easier than I thought. It is like making a return trip. I have already travelled really far!

So, week two starts tomorrow. I have made the transition from regular snacks to sorbet and Snackwell cookies pretty easily. This is amazing because snacks seemed so important a few weeks ago. I like it here right now, but I know at some point these, too, will have to go.

For now, I am rounding up my ticker from .5s. So 5 pounds down, 70 to go. I like having goals. They make life happy and forward-y.
