The asterisk is because I got weighed on a different scale today. Amazingly, this is the first time in all the times I have been weighed in that I ever had to use a different scale. I am deeply suspicious of the number, but I will accept it. The nurse, Donna, is starting to expect me—so that's good. It was getting tiresome to continually explain why I was there. So today I was in exam room #4–where I hope we can continue to get weighed in from here on in. Of course, now the hard part really starts; not just physically but psychologically. To get over the next seven pounds in about seven weeks—well, it will be challenging. I am really going to have to either increase my exercise or decrease my eating. Emily wanted to know if I was going to celebrate. When they make a cupcake out of celery, I said, then I am really going to celebrate.

The cheesestick embargo begins once again. Not much to say except to repeat what one of my coworkers was able to elucidate brilliantly today. I was saying that I wasn't tired of dieting, or exercise, and she said "it's the thinking." That's exactly it, I said. It's that I have to THINK all the time about WHAT I am eating and WHEN I will exercise. I don't mind less food and more exercise, but sometimes I just want a rest from all that thinking. And of course, a celery cupcake.

Hi, Congratulations on your latest Detecto score! But you're right, the same scale is really important. So stick with Room #4 from now on. I agree with your friend...it is the thinking. But isn't almost everything that counts? Love, MOM
Would would have thought that your diet - new lifestyle - would be inspirational in so many ways? I woke up today actually feeling proud that for the first time in my life I applied heat to cauliflower and it came out pretty good. Inspired by you. Devoured by both.
On another note, I cannot go out with the mothers.
