A thin line.

So, yesterday was weigh in, and I had a two pound gain. Better than the four pounds I was up a few days ago. But that put me back to 183, a pound over the overweight/obese line. This morning I was back to 182, but it isn't official until next weeks weigh in. And if my pattern continues, I will have a good loss next week. The irony? I was pretty good last week. I knew that that was a week I usually gain or maintain. I used 10 1/2 weeklies. I ate some M&M's. I baked 70 mini cupcakes for a couple of meetings last week, and ate one. Yes, one mini cupcake that was two points. I was at our Church's Fall Festival all day Saturday. I took one of my two point sandwiches, low fat crackers and carrots. We did have dinner there, where I had one and a half small burritos and four tortilla chips. I did not partake in any of the yummy baked goods. And I worked on my feet for 9 hours. But, I know this is what my body does. On the other hand, we went to the fair yesterday. I used 8 &1/2 weeklies yesterday alone. I had an onion burger, fries, and a scone. And I still had some M&M's last night. And I was down a pound this morning. I love the one week a month that my metabolism kicks in to high gear!

I really hope that I do have a good loss this week and get out of the danger zone of obesity. Since I know I am having a 2-3 pound gain a month, I need to get as far away from that thin line as possible. Even though I realize it is just a number. And really, I still look obese. Which leads me to:

I am currently doing physical therapy for some knee issues. Anyone that knows me knows that I am not super touchy feely. I have gotten more so, but not with people I don't know. So it is very uncomfortable for me to be in this big room full of people and have the Physical therapist feeling all over. I mean, I am lying on a table and he is trying to find my hip flexors. Good luck with that, buddy. I can't wait until he asks me to hold my big tummy so he can find them. Last week he was feeling my sides and torso, and asked if I had a shirt on under my shirt. Um no, but that has never stopped you before. So he says, these must be adhesions. WTF? Oh, I realize then that he is talking about all of my stretch marks. Yes, you can feel them as well as see them. Good Lord. I can't wait until this torture is over. I also stand wrong, walk wrong, my femur and tibia are longer on the left, and my posture overall sucks. But I am overweight, not obese! Maybe I should tell him that tomorrow. Yesterday I explained that my posture was due to all of my weight being in the middle, and that I used to weigh 74 pounds more. I wasn't looking at him, so I don't know for sure if he rolled his eyes.
