Default Warning: Bragging, Whoosh Fairy Visit
I kissed up to the Whoosh Fairy yesterday and declared the 10 reasons why I love this WOE. Well, the fairy told me to weigh myself this morning because I had a special gift. I usually only weigh on Mondays. I am down 4 lbs. and down 4 inches. I did not lose for two weeks and was hoping that this was not the beginning of a stall. I am only 18 lbs. from goal and am wearing a solid size 8.

Okay, I know I am laying this on thick, but this is the first time in my life that I have been successful in losing without going to a weight loss center. And the best benefit of all is that I have accepted this as a WOL.

Congratulations!!!

I wonder how many people who complain of stalls or no "whooshes" actually weigh in only once a week? I bet very few! I know I am too impatient and weigh myself every day, but if I didn't I would see a whoosh or two instead of little moves in the scale every day.
