Riding the train

Dragged myself to my WW meeting today. Bright and early, I believe I was the first person there for the 9:30 am meeting, which is saying something! lol The main part of today's meeting was riding a train. I guess she was trying to tell us that losing weight is kinda like taking a train ride. Its takes awhile to get where you want to go. As everyone else in the group was giving all the right answers about the steps it takes to achieve weight loss, all I could think of what that I had gotten off the train to do some sightseeing. Obviously, I think the people who have an easy time of losing weight are the exception. Heck, if it were easy, obesity would not be an issue in this day and age. But, like I said, all I could think of what that I kept getting off the proverbial train and can't decide which stop I want to get back on. Regardless of my feelings towards the train, I did have a loss of .8 this week. It would have been more if I didn't discover asiago cheese bagels in the bagel case at the local grocery store. Or the chocolate cake at Denny's. Or eat pizza for dinner last night. I kinda feel like a fraud for losing this week. I didn't lose that small amount because I followed the plan, so I can't be praised for losing it. It was pure dumb luck. On Thursday, according to my scale, I had been down 3 pounds. As in water weight, not fat, of course. But, I stayed for the meeting, and I'm going to try again. Because now its not about my summer clothes fitting me again, its about my jeans and winter clothes fitting me again for Fall. I wish this losing weight shit was easier. I think we all wish that.
