Exceeds Maximum Weight Limit… words smaller people need never concern themselves with, but words that have pretty much ruled my life the last 5 or 6 years.
There are so many things small people take for granted like, not worrying if the folding camp chair will collapse beneath you and send you flying into the bon fire, not worrying the entire 45 minutes of standing in line for a totally awesome roller coaster, whether you’ll be able to buckle the safety harness or be the one that has to get off before the ride has even begun. Not worrying about whether or not the seat belt in your friend’s car will go around you… there’s more, and I’ve experienced them myself. But I’m looking forward to the time in the not so distance future, where I don’t need to worry about this anymore.
I’ve been thinking for the last week or so about major mile stones to add to my weight loss success story that don’t involve just the weight loss number. Two big ones have been standing out: wearing my wedding ring again, and not getting a rejection sign from my Wii fit.
It’s not funny! I get a rejection sign from my Wii fit and it is really ticking me off. Supposedly there is a 330 lb weight limit, so I should be able to use it… but it’s still not working! Argh! I hope that it’s just some weird fluke and one day when I get on it, it will decide it doesn’t need to reset its software. (If any of you have any tips for me about how to reset this… PLEASE let me know)
And the wedding ring thing… I’m close, so very close! I can put it on, but can’t wear it for long before my finger swells up and I take it off because I’m nervous about not being able to get it off…ever. So, I’ll just have to keep wearing the fake jobbers I have until then. Don’t worry, the day I can wear it without my finger turning blue, ya’ll will be the first to know.
So, this last week wasn’t fantastic. I gained 0.8 lbs. But considering all the quantities of not-so-good-for-weight-loss food I consumed, I’ll take it. It could have been a lot worse. And you know what? I’m over it. This week I’m doing better, and I’m cranking up the work outs, eating healthy, having some fun on Friday, and I’m expecting to at least have lost another pound by next Monday’s weigh in.
