It's different for each of us. It's that number that each of us uses to fill in the following sentence:
Well, at least I'm still under ______ pounds.
Last night I discovered that I can no longer use mine. I have passed it, the scary number I've always looked down at as my bottom rung. (Someday when I'm finally happy with my figure, I shall write a memoire called "As My Bottom Rung".)
I passed it by a pound, guys. That is a tragic thing to discover, but it's also a wake up call in a way that vain attempts to avoid the number never really were. Even at X minus 2 pounds, I could still hang on to the fact that I wasn't there. Now I'm there, and there's nothing to do but climb the ladder and leave my bottom ringing behind me.
Last night I ran at the gym. I borrowed a Yoga video from the library... I'm a little worried about the chick on the cover doing a handstand while touching her head with her toes. I hope I haven't inadvertently picked up a "Contortionism for Dummies" video. I picked up a salad to bring to lunch today, and I will not pour the salad dressing on the salad but dip my fork in it the way they taught me at Weight Watchers. At lunch today I am also hoping to go pick up a resistance band at Target. It seems like a fun workout toy, and fun is definitely the way to go for me.
Onward and upward, my friends!
This week I am at X + 1 lbs. By next week, my goal is X - 1. I'll let you know.

What a COINKY-DINK! I hit my X+2 last week!
Oh man, time to dust off the WW cookbook again...
That fork dipping thing really works. What doesn't work is... making an apple crisp because you're bored.
WORKS: Cooking a big batch of something healthy, letting it cool, then portioning into containers for the work week.
DOESN'T WORK: Eating the entire frickin' pot of stew in one sitting...
