Tipping the scales.

I just weighed in for Weight Watchers (this was my first week) and I lost four pounds, 12 ounces. Notice how I got the ounces in there. That’s a can of beer, people. I lost four pounds and a can of beer, and I am damn well going to report it. By simply leaning in on my toes, I have found that I can make the scale numbers fluctuate two or three pounds. Weight Watchers really needs to engineer that shit out.

It’s a good thing I lost weight this week. Otherwise the starvation would’ve been for nothing. I’m pretty much hungry all the time. And not just “I could eat” hungry. It’s more like Sally Struthers Feed the Children hungry. This probably has something to do with the fact that my pre-Weight Watchers eating habits had stretched my stomach out to the size of a Samsonite suitcase. So now, I am in the process of shrinking my stomach down to a coin purse - a little one, like the kind that you squeeze and the crack opens up like a shiny rubber vagina. I had one of those when I was little and I would play with it for hours. Coin purse that is. Well, OK, vagina too. But I digress.

    Woohoo for you, untitled!

    I missed the free registration at WW, but my coworkers are doing a cheap-ass version of “The Biggest Loser” and my whopping weight loss has been (drumroll, please) one pound.

    I think I need to cut out the entire boxes of Hot and Spicy Cheez-its I’ve been inhaling. Oh, and I should exercise, I guess.

    Food is worse than Crack. I’m starting to try to come to terms that food is just that.. food. Fuel. Nutin’ more. I keep telling myself that anyways. My family is about to undergo a Gluten Free/Casien Free diet to be fair to our son who needs to be on the diet to help him recover from Autisim. I feel your pain. Hang in there, we’ll be craving gravy and butter right there with you.

    I am giving you a standing ovation (and hiding my spinach pie behind the monitor so that you can’t see it, *blush*).

    Think of it as having lost 19 Quarter Pounders! NINETEEN!

    Wow. Go, go, go!

    Soon your Samsonite luggage will shrink down to carry-on size, then down to messenger bag, Coach purse, and finally a nice Rolf wallet!

    I like V-Grrrl’s summary of it… Holy crap - 19 quarter pounders! …hmm, can I have fries with that?

    Congratuations!

    1. Congrats! Keep it up!
    2. Totally unrelated, but whenever someone says ‘vagina’ I think of the drag show at my school a few months ago, and how the winner of it was named ‘Treyonce Bugina’.

    Like I said. Unrelated. But come on. Treyonce Bugina? Priceless.

    John, where the hell do you go to school?!?!?

    Untitled maybe if you play with the, um, “change purse” you won’t want to eat? Such a funny and delightful non-sequitur!

  14. 14 Margaret

    that’s more than a six pack lost!

    I have become a colossal big fatass and need to lose weight. How colossal? My FAT pants are tight. I went to the doc and they kept moving that big slidy weight on the scale over…and over…and over…Totally humiliating.

    But I don’t know if have enough energy to devote to the Absolute Obsession I need if I am going to lose weight. It is such a full-time job for me, at least mentally…Sigh.

    I totally know how you feel right about now. I am about to embark on a weightloss program this week (hopefully) 6-Week Body Makeover. If it is a success, then I can finally pull all my size 34 pants out of the boxes I have condemned them to thanks to the fat devil sitting on my shoulder shooting gravy bulltes at my skinny angel.

    Fat devils carry pitchforks for wholly different reasons. Buffet anyone? :)
