No, I\u2019m not pregnant.  Good Lord, no.&#160;   (Pause.)  I joined Weight Watchers.   There.&#160; I said it.&#160;   I just got sick of complaining about that stupid 5-10 pounds and decided to DO something about it.&#160; I have a couple friends who have done it with great success\u2026so I put on my big girl panties and went to a meeting.  I know.&#160; I was so nervous, my palms were sweating.  Just to get this out of the way \u2013 I know that in the grand scheme of weight loss I don\u2019t have THAT much to lose.  But I am a crazy person.&#160; And I was making myself miserable (miserable, I tell you!) with the amount of negative self-talk churning around in my brain.  The first step was to log what I ate \u2013 which I did, on my new iPhone (I know, we are so behind), for a week.&#160; Every piece of food that went in my mouth.&#160; Turns out this is a really great thing \u2013 it cuts out all those Oreo binges I\u2019ve been having in the pantry.&#160; Oh, my pantry and I had&#160; become <em>quite<\/em> involved.  The second step was to make the hardest decision of all \u2013 cease and desist all vino drinking during the week.  (Silence.)  Yeah, I know.&#160; Here\u2019s my problem with wine: I love it.&#160; Too much.&#160; I can\u2019t stop at just one glass.&#160; And, it\u2019s not so easy on the waistline.&#160;   Sad face.  The third step was to pay my $40, set up my eTools and attend the dreaded said WW meeting.&#160; And you know what?&#160; I was nervous but it was actually really informative and no one threw tomatoes at me.&#160;   It\u2019s been 3 weeks, and I\u2019m happy to report that all of my strategies are working.&#160; I think.&#160; We will see next Wednesday when I, gulp, weigh in again.&#160; Ah yes.&#160; It\u2019s enough to drive a girl a LITTLE bit crazy.&#160;   And I might have had a LITTLE bit of wine last night.&#160;   Whatever.&#160; Back on track today and cutting myself some slack.
