Ai Yi!

I just did my first Weight Watchers weekly weigh-in.

I knew that because I'd been sick I hadn't had any trouble keeping to my daily points six days out of seven, and even on that 'other' day I hadn't come near to exhausting the bonus 35 points we get a week.

I had been hoping for three pounds gone -- one more than the ideal of two per week.

I lost six pounds this week.

Now, this is not an entirely good thing. It's a bit too much, a bit too fast, for good health.
I should avoid such dramatic drops in the future.

But it is heartening. It works. I can do this.

I just have to work a bit on the balance between self-indulgence and asceticism.

Oh! I forgot to tell you... on a completely-unrelated note, I watched a movie with Katee Sackhoff called Fifteen and Pregnant, starring Kirsten Dunst. She had a speaking role for about 30 seconds, and she was god-awful. Totally unconvincing. I think she must have just really hit a good role for her in Starbuck.

And the movie was horrible. It totally glorified teenage pregnancy. Even without getting into right to life issues, I don't think that anyone would agree that fourteen and fifteen year olds need to be tempted into having babies.

Even the best actors can be horribly mis-cast (and/or badly directed) and give atrocious performances --- and even a so-so actor can hit the jackpot with a role that really fits him/her.

And I'm with you on the teen pregnancy bit.
