My Scale is on Time Out!

So I got home after my doctors appointment and weighed myself (I haven't ate breakfast yet). Well the scale gave a number that I was actually expecting this morning. And that number was 286.9!!!! Wahoo! I am beyond excited about this, that's a whole pound lost from yesterday. I have surpassed my previous loss of 12 pounds by 1.1 pound! Making a grand total of 13.1 pounds lost. I feel like this is a huge deal for me. I think I need to go get the pom-poms out and cheer on the street corner. (Which I totally won't do for self-preservation reasons). I'm going to show a picture of my little black book at the end of this entry. It may be annoying to carry that thing around,write in it every time something goes in my mouth but the annoyances are paying off. So back to the doctor thing. According to her scale i've only lost 5 pounds but the last time I was in the doctors office I weighed less than 300 pounds. I marked the start of my weight loss journey at 300 pounds because that's the highest I've been and I yo-yoed between 300 and 295 a lot. So for me it's a loss of 13.1 pounds not 5 pounds. Also great news, I told my doctor about how in my freshman year of high school my mom had me in weight watchers and it really helped (Lost 30 pounds). But I told her that the financial burden of enrolling in the program made it impossible right now. To which she told me if my insurance covered it she can prescribe weight watchers!! How incredible would that be?! She said that she was going to look into it on her end and I should look into it on my end as well. I will be calling my insurance company Monday! Also she opened my eyes to a program called Overeaters Anonymous's. I guess it's pretty much like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous, a support group for people struggling with the same thing you are. There are actually quite a few meetings in my area, and if my husband home from work in time I will be going to one tonight hopefully! Maybe some of you (if anyone's actually reading) could use the help of a group like that. I didn't know it existed until today so hopefully I can pass that knowledge on to you if you need it. That's all I had to say for now. Logging out!
