Losing 1.1 kg a Week
06 October 2012
Big girls DO cry! I was so happy yesterday to have stepped on the scales for the first time in goodness knows how long and be told that I weighed less than before; so perhaps that is why my experience later in the day was so painful.
I went to see an elderly relative living in a retirement home. I see her often, so small fluctuations in my weight shouldn't be particularly obvious. As I entered the lounge she shouted out "Oh my Julie* you ARE a big girl". Quite why she did this yesterday as opposed to any other day I have no idea, but the whole room turned to look. It was as if they were undressing me and staring at disgust at the 90-odd pounds of fat clinging to my body. I felt awful but of course I didn't let on; you don't do you?
This got me thinking about all the times that people, usually significantly older than me, have called me 'big' rather than fat/overweight or, as is technically correct, obese. Do they think they are doing me a favor? Sometimes they may have had a medical interest (for example I can recall separate times as a child when I was at the hospital about something non-weight related and I was unexpected asked to step on the scales - "My Julie* you are a BIG girl" - and at the school medical "Something has got to be done about how BIG she is getting"). But other times it has just been people who you happen to meet in the community - "Are your family as BIG as you?", "Have you always been a BIG girl?". Would they say "Are your family as FAT/OVERWEIGHT/OBESE as you?" or "Have you always been FAT/OVERWEIGHT/OBESE?". I think not...

Woke up this morning with my heart pounding. I was reliving the experience as a child where I was made to stand on the bathroom scales and everyone stood around discussing my weight. It was just so awful and I hated it every time. Then I remembered that today is the end of week 1 of my diet and I was due to be weighed.
Well guess what? I have lost 4 and a half pounds in a week. I know that you are supposed to lose more in week one than other weeks and it is a small drop in the ocean as I have got so much weight to shift but hey, this is the first time in I don't know how many years when I have been weighed and and the answer was less than before! I just stood there looking at the scales and then I got back on to make sure... yes, I have LOST 4 and a half pounds! Yippee!

A week ago today I ventured onto the scales for the first time in 18 months. I'd added another 17lbs to my overweight frame. Tomorrow it'll be a week that I have been slimming. Anxious!
