Fat Class Recap 8

Class was long and boring again this week.  But, there was still enough to report on.

I started with a very long one on one with Ginah about my challenges on Thursday.  She was very interested in learning more about how I "problem solved."  Then, through discussion, she learned some other things I do (like write down my outfit each day and what exercise I do on the log and I regularly take my measurements)... and asked me to talk to the class about that when everyone arrived.  I did, but I always feel stupid talking to everyone about that stuff... like, "look at what I do and how wonderful I am" when really it's sorta personal.  I write down those things for various reasons.  One, as I lose weight I know my clothes will fit differently.  I was to know how it might have been just a week ago I wore a certain pair of pants and now they are too big.  Or, perhaps I have a week when I don't lose weight... how did my measurements change (by the way, on those two times I didnt lose a pound -- those were my biggest loss in inches).  And, I note my exercises to see if there is any correlation between them and weight loss... maybe I didnt lose much one week, were my workouts intense?  I dunno.  I just like information.  But, that doesn't mean it works for everyone else.

The drinker returned and informed me that she had not cheated ALL week.  No drinks.  But, she lost less this week than last, so she's going back to booze. 

Jed informs the class there is a nonalcoholic, low calorie wine and everyone gets excited.  Ginah was not excited about this conversation and discouraged the use of this while in the box.  I googled it while in class and Paulie made plans to pick some up on the way home.  The drinker said, "no alcohol?  Why bother??"  Gotta love the drinker!  Then someone said "well 4 ounces of wine is only [however many] calories!"  The drinker interjected, "FOUR OUNCES!?! What good is FOUR ounces?  That's just teasing!"

Later Jed asked Ginah if they could make something that people could snack on.  (A regular topic).  There is nothing to snack on for those on the All Inclusive option. 

Jed said, "like popcorn?" 

Someone else said, "Or crackers!" 

"Fruit snacks?" said another.

Then the drinker said, "Or how about cheese and crackers and a glass of wine!!!!"

I distributed the oatmeal chocolate chip muffins and they were a hit.  Jed asked me to come over to make a batch.  Paulie distributed some incredibly delicious sugar free gum.  The drinker moaned incessantly while chewing which sent funny looks.  But, it was tasty.  I felt like I was giving mine a pretty good chew!
