thanks eleanor, but it's not so much about wanting the future to belong to me as it is just wanting to be thinner



According to the scale in the RV, I'm 8 pounds lighter than I was when I started Online Weight Watchers two weeks ago. Alas, of course, I don't actually think I have lost 8 pounds. I think I was on the heavier end of my diurnal weight fluctuation when I entered my starting weight into the system. I'm also not entirely confident in my scale and might seek the second opinion of another, although there is no weigh for me to retro-weigh myself to see what I would have weighed on an alternative scale two weeks ago. In any case, while I have not actually lost 8 pounds, I do think the result means that I have lost some weight, and I'm hopeful that I will persevere with the plan and continue the downward spiral. Regardless, I have been eating healthier, which has to be a good thing.
