Day 20

I was looking at my Weight Watchers "Membership Book" recently. It is a record of my weight loss over a period of 24 weeks.

It took me 21 WEEKS to lose 23 pounds. On the average, I lost 3 pounds a week. That is when I didn't gain(!) or stay the same. I saw that I stayed the same weight three weeks in a row. And I noticed a 10 pound weight gain in two months. I never made my 10% goal in nine months (that is what ended up being recorded on the book, apparently I didn't go every week!). I went for four months straight and then bounced around after that.

THAT is why I am a WLS patient. This is permanent folks. I cannot give up after four months.
