Each Saturday morning I head over to our local Weight Watchers office to weigh in and attend the meetings. The week was not good for yours truly. I gained and of course was not happy but what made it worse was my attitude all week and frankly for the last several weeks.

I am tired of counting. I feel like the Count on Sesame Street. "9! AH AH AH. 9 Points! AH AH AH! And 27 CARBS! AH AH AH!"

Bored? Burnt out? Both. I used to have this vigor and excitement about each meeting and now it is just a bore. Those days when everything I ate was calculated and decided on with each Saturday in mind are gone. I don't care and yet I get upset when the scale does not show a lesser weight. It makes no sense.

My very good pal decided to join this week and I am hoping his excitement will motivate me to get back on track. As of right now, I am not feeling the desire to do anything. I wonder sometimes if having diabetes makes it harder to lose weight? Not that I need another excuse though, I always seem to come up with something.

If you are interested on my weekly Weight updates, you can see them each week on my personal blog. I am lucky that most of my online friends that read those posts always encourage me when I lose or gain. Support does help me but I am in a funk right now.
