Have you noticed all the commercials for weight loss? It's a new year and like most others, I want to lose weight. I want to lose it NOW. I'm not strong on the patience-side of things...just ask Hubby. We've been talking about getting a Keurig coffee maker. We love coffee but we have a perfectly fine coffee maker (two to be exact!). Both cost about $40.00 between the both of them. So why did I have to purchase that Keurig? I don't know. I wanted it. Period.
Last night I told both boys in the house "I'm getting a package and it's mine. Don't open it. Ya hear-- it's mine!"
Hubby says "What if it's something I bought?"
I retorted "Mine is bigger than a book box" (Hubby has no restraint when it comes to books.).
Boy wanted to know if it was something for him. Ha ha ha...silly Boy! It's after Christmas and after his birthday which both fall in the same month so NO, it's definitely not something for you! pppffff
Getting back to topic (I'm still doing it/ I'm sorry) I want to lose 5 pounds (forget the 7 in a previous post...I'm perking for 5). And I do mean perking. I want to lose my 5 pounds and THEN I get to open my prize package. WW encourages giving non-food rewards when you meet a goal. Makes sense, right? Why sabotage your victory with a hot fudge sundae (yes, I do like my H-F-S)? Why not sabotage the pocketbook? After the weight comes off, I'll tackle my "shop till you drop" addiction. One thing at a time.
Boy wanted to know if there would be more incentive to lose the 5 pounds if they got to open my package and start drinking MY coffee?! I see a politician in the works! Poor kid; I don't think he thought through that comment! My look and baring of teeth told him the answer.
The great thing about WW is not feeling deprived. I, on the other hand, might be deprived for a week or two, but I will have my coffee and drink it too!
