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.

Thanks for sharing your experience. You know, what you say about switching diets really does makes sense: the body does adjust to stresses put on it, whether diet or exercise. That was one reason my personal trainers always changed the work out once every 3-6 weeks, after the muscles had shown strong improvement, we changed the lifting technique and the specific routine, to keep them stimulated.

And I love your new icon! That's one of my favorite quotes. In fact, the image on the icon I'm using for this comment came from a t-shirt with the same quote.

Hmmm. . . I sense a discussion for the heroine_addicts community.
