I’m telling you, this is a set point for me! This 150 has been staring back at me for the past three mornings… And I don’t hate it yet, I’m just giving it a little more time to say goodbye. Because once it finally says goodbye, I don’t plan to ever see it again… So I’ll let it down gently but firmly. Can you hear me talking to the 150 on my scale?
“It’s not you, it’s me. I’m just not the right person for you. I’m too short for this weight and since I can’t grow an inch or so, I am ready to move on. So don’t be sad my 150, there is someone else out there who will be thrilled to have you. You will be just perfect for them. But for me, I am going to keep searching for that perfect number. It may be the 136 that I have in mind or it may just turn out to be a perfect stranger that I haven’t even considered before. But believe me when I say that the time I spent with you was for the most part happy, but I always knew that there was another weight out there that I was destined to be with for the rest of my life. So please wish me well and let me go. It is the best thing for us and in the end, we will both be happier this way.”
Will this do the trick? Tune in tomorrow to see…

I have a challenge tonight since I’m meeting my book club group at a Thai restaurant. I plan to eat some soup before I go and will just stick to a dry salad if I can. And maybe a glass of wine. But I’m becoming a pro at eating out within protocol and it doesn’t faze me any more. I was invited to participate in a breakfast potluck at work today. Half of the office is out this week on a trip to Puerto Vallarta that is sponsored by our company. It’s for the top sales performers and for a small group of people that are nominated for something spectacular that they did. Unfortunately I wasn’t one of ‘em! So the losers that were left behind (you know I’m saying that jokingly so don’t get down on me for calling myself a loser!) decided to have a potluck. I considered bringing something in just to be sociable, but I ended up just saying thanks, but no thanks. I didn’t want to be put in a position where someone would be offended if I didn’t just try a little bite of their super special egg and potato casserole or some such thing. I don’t think I’d have trouble turning the food down, but didn’t want to deal with any hurt feelings. So I stuck to my two tiny little clementines for breakfast today. And tea, tea, tea…

I’m posting early since I’ll be out late due to my book club meeting tonight.

Happy losing!

B, One more day for you to keep the lead, then look OUT! I'm kicking that 150 to the curb! Maybe I ought to introduce the two of you. From what I hear, you'd be perfect for each other! LOL!

Lili, I will check it out. I know that Erica has some really great treatments and I plan to take advantage of having a daughter in this line of work too. I just have to wait until I'm done with P2 so I'm not putting the extra oils and lotions into my system. I'll ask her if she uses the Obagi or something like it.

Mary, I think that heart to heart with my soon to be EX 150 will do the trick, don't you?
