As I sit at the computer this morning (listening to the lovely birds again) I am giving myself permission to not be perfect. I have been on WW now for 4 weeks and even though I have allowed myself the scenic route I am still losing. For the first time in a long while I am really sticking in there for the long hall and not going back to my old ways. I feel I can see this through this time and even when I have an off day, I don't say to heck with it. I had thought about not going to exercise and weigh in today. Thought of staying home with DH this morning and even going out for a over point lunch. I thought of taking the day off and waiting for next week where there would be a really big loss. This too is a trap I have gotten into before. So I will be heading out the door to jazzercise and when I return I will get ready for my meeting. I love the sense of taking care of ME! Even if my days OP are not always perfect. Wish me well at my weigh in. I will update later. Bird maybe need to lose less than 45#!

Not always so easy when you suspect a gain or a small loss, but those are the times we need to go to meetings. Sounds like you're getting a handle on it - keep up the good work!

this is a great attitude. I tend towards that perfectionism thing. I realized this so the "perfection" is going to every meeting and learning when it doesn't go as I would like.

I'm still learning that the only way to fail is to quit. Good for you for not quitting.
