I need therapy...

So today was weigh-in day. Showed a loss of 3.4 pounds, so we are at a total of -7.6 for two weeks. Yay. I am happy with that, I really am, but another part of me is ticked off and frustrated. I know I am NUTS but I can't help it. Ok folks, going to be totally honest with you all here...my starting weight was 243. First week loss took me down to 238.8 and today I am at 235.4. My highest weight ever was 247. So I am happy with the results because I am definitely going in the right direction...but I have been PERFECT! You'd think someone my size (oh, I'm 5'2 by the way) would see better results the first couple weeks with following points perfectly... I know, get over it. And Karen already gave me the "you're only supposed to lose about 2 pounds a week speech'... but I have goals people! My goal was to be at at least 233 by Saturday (that would be 10 pounds), if not 230 if possible (this is my 5%). So I've been kicking butt, resisting temptations left and right and drinking my water and all that fun. I guess what gets me is that I was 235.5 on Friday morning, and here I am at the same number three perfect days later. So that's why I was expecting a little more drop. What about those ladies at the WW meetings that come in and say "I lost 8 pounds my first week!"?? Guess that's just not meant to be me:) Or they don't eat ANYTHING all week, one of the two;)

Ok, I'm over it. Had to vent is all. Thanks for putting up with my insanity!

Total bummer for today...just realized my favorite WW meal has meat in it...I am so pissed! I swear I read the ingrediants when I first bought it and my friend at work thought she did too...but here I am two weeks later (and about 8 or 9 meals later) reading "chicken Broth, chicken fat, dried chicken meat". WTF!! I feel awful..I haven't had meat in nearly 6 years- I became vegetarian in 2003 and never looked back. Not to mention that's just one more meal off the list for me. I tell you, WW- you need to invest in some vegetarian options!! Geesh! If anyone has any suggestions for me out there for a quick frozen meal other than pizza that is veggie friendly I would be extremely grateful. You can only eat frozen cheese pizza and Four Cheese Ziti so many times before you want to punch something. It's looking like packing sandwiches and salad for lunch is in my very near future...

Alright, I'm on my lunch hour so better get going, but since I was full of whining today I thought I'd at least post something positive. Yesterday I wore my current 'skinny' jeans (skinny for me...probably a tent for most;) for the first time in forever! They were still a bit tight but they fit without having to totally pour myself into them so it's a start! I may see if I can talk Karen into doing some shopping up in D-town this weekend to get a few shirts or something. But only if I hit my 10 by then!
