Still plugging away at weight loss.  What a freakin’ lesson in patience!

I’m not a goal-driven person.  Never have been.  Throughout three different stabs at Weight Watchers, I’ve been able to avoid setting a “final weight” goal.  Ok, the first two times it was because I stopped going long before I was in final weight goal territory.  This time, however, I had slipped in the “healthy range”, where one is supposed to decide on a final goal, and didn’t set the number.  I kept saying “next week, next week.”  I don’t know what my problem is with finalizing a goal.  I mean, reaching a goal is a GOOD thing, right?  Yet I just couldn’t commit.  They finally talked me into it by explaining that once I stay at or within 2 lbs of that weight for 6 weeks I become “lifetime” and no longer have to pay.  What?  No money outlay???  Where do I sign????  So the goal has been set and when I weighed in last week I was .6 lbs away.  Six-tenths of a pound.   So tonight is weigh in night.  It could go either way.  I could hit a goal that I’ve NEEDED to hit for twenty years, and that I’ve been working toward for seven years.  It sounds so silly, but this is huge for me…it’s about so much more than the weight.
