Now I know

I knew that I have gained weight over the last month. I had my little accident and couldn't do much and then I was tapering and then I ran the marathon and then I needed to rest and EAT. Today I found out that I have gained about 9 lbs. NINE ! Wow. I could have stepped on the scale at home before I went, but I just couldn't bare it. It was the last form of denial before I truly had to face the music.

Here's what is frustrating. Before I stopped going to WW - some time in February - there was a girl who was losing the way I wished I would. We weighed the same in January and she had lost a good 10+ lbs before I took my little hiatus. Today when I saw her she looked AMAZING - a totally different person. She's lost a total of 27lbs. I guess it was just her turn. I also noticed this morning at Spin, that my teacher looked great - another weight loss success. I saw her card in the box at WW... SHE goes to WW??? Obviously it works.

I don't really know how to approach this whole weight loss thing. I don't want to be psycho about it... When I go all out, I usually lose steam after a couple of days. I do want to take this seriously. I do want to follow the program. I am starting right NOW... Again!
