so, this isn't an instant gratification kind of thing

So, if you don't know this about me, I will let you in on a little secret...I'm addicted to instant gratification.  I mean, I even have a problem with online shopping [although I do my fair share of that too].  I just like it when it happens and it's there.  I can also tell you that I love beauty products, as-seen-on-tv things, pens..and oh, I l-o-v-e gadgets.  

Now, I am trying to remind myself that weight-loss too fast can result in some pretty heinous things like....

Um, no thanks. 

or....

really, this is gross.

Not really something that I'm interested in.  I've been told that if I loose the weight healthily and work my body like it is supposed to be worked, this won't happen.  [If this isn't a fact, do not tell me.  One day at a time here, I can deal with that wwwaaayyy down the road.]

But, the waiting isn't really fun; correction, it isn't even a little fun. It is a complete injustice that it takes 2 seconds to eat something that is going to go straight to my ass, and that it takes some seriously hard work to get that shit off. 

So, the last time I stepped on the scale, I had a minor break down about gaining weight back over the holidays.  That is the thing that spurred this whole 'change.' But, through my breakdown, I didn't record my exact weight.  But, without further adieu` -- I've lost 6 lbs this last week.  [it's somewhere between 6 and 9, but we will go with the safest estimate.]

Woo...let's hope next week is as successful.  :)
