So weigh in today... this morning I was just plain pissed off because I was convinced that I was going to stay the same at weigh in.  Just for reference the last 2 weigh ins were down .2 up .6.  I was convinced I was on a plateau.   I had a bad attitude marching in to weigh in, and then some people from a earlier meeting were gathered outside, and made my day.  I've been to that meeting a couple of times, so they "know me."  They told me I looked great, and when I mentioned how I was kind of stuck at these last 4 pounds, they assured me to quit obsessing about it, and the weight would come off.  Stress does not help with weight loss.  It was good to get some extra encouragement.  Then I weighed in and low and freaking behold I was down a whole pound.  I was ecstatic.  I lost... I lost a normal amount of weight.  1 pound down... I love losing 1 pound.

It reminds me of the "Only 1 pound poem" - Author Unknown
Hello! Do you know me?
If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat.
And I am the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
Want to know why?
It's because no one ever wants to lose me.
I'm only one pound, just a pound!

Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
That is until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.

Yes, it's fun being only one pound of fat, left to do as I please.
So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
(As if that were such a terrible thing)
For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.

And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
After all, I'm only one pound of fat!!!

Yep... that's how I got here... one pound at a time, and that is how I'm going to get out of here... 1 pound at a time.  Losing 1 pound is awesome!  Why?  Because the girl who lost .2 and gained .6 the last 2 weeks says so!
