"Rich, fatty foods are like destiny: they too, shape our ends."

What a relief! I am happy to report that my fatness is a little smaller at this weeks weigh-in. I have lost the pound that brought me to tears last week and have also eliminated an additional two from my frame. What makes this an even more satisfactory weigh-in is the fact that this is my pre-TOM week (time of the month). Usually they expect people to retain more water and what not at this point in the cycle, but thankfully my body gave me the edge this week and a small victory that will add up. This week I was also measure and have lost 1/2 inch off all body parts in less than a month and even an inch and a half off my hips.This really does put a little more wind under my sails. Last week after what happened I felt a bit defeated but at the same time, I'm sure it drove me to want to do better and be better. For example: Curves, Tuesday, there is an area on the machines that I was going to have to finish on...instead of being a baby and starting off at a different point I told myself that I had no other choice. This was where it was headed and I was just going to have to deal with it. I could have moved, chosen an easier area, but life if full of hard choices. You have to suck it up!
This body wasn't built in a day and it's not going to disappear any faster. I'm permanently enrolled in the Body School and I will be attending for awhile. I need to be thankful that I've started on this journey while I can still get control over it. My heart goes out to those that feel there is no way to make the change.
I'd rather be sweating bullets than shedding tears.
