So I’m back on the Weight Watchers program, counting points and actually losing weight. I’m so fat now that I fortunately get 26 points a day, which I can of couse supplement with the handy Flex points the program offers to weak-willed folks like me who are still hungry.

A week ago today, I weighed 209.8; this morning, 207.2. Which, for me, is pretty good, considering that there were two pieces of million-point banana cream pie thrown in to the plan over the weekend. I can only imagine that I would have done better had I not succumbed to the tasty glory of cream and pastry.

It feels good to be doing something, at last, with a prospective of success. Although it’s going to take a LONG time to lose the weight, and the progress will be slow, I feel positive that something is going my way.
