Torture

I am all confused at all the different diets and advice out there. Everything is very conflicting. I am frusterated to the point of eating a cream filled doughnut to spite them all...that will teach them! But alas, instead of eating a doughnut, I broke down and joined Weight Watchers. Look at me, picking Weight Watchers over a doughnut...you don't have to say it, I even surprise myself. So I am trying to put aside everything I have been reading about 'unhealthy carbs'. Weight Watchers doesn't even look at them. They want you to choose 'fat free' ranch over regular, when regular has little sugar and low carbs, and fat free is loaded with sugar and loaded with carbs! I tend to think that sugar is worse than fat, but I am not the expert. Weight Watchers is proven to work. But a little bit of myself wants to follow a low carb version of Weight Watchers (that I make up myself). We'll see how it goes.

Edgar just turned 30 and is really doing great at getting in shape. It is pretty sad when your tall 6'5'' husband weighs the same as you. Anyways, I bought him a scale for his birthday. It wasn't a lame gift, he has been wanting one for a while (who wouldn't want a scale over a video game anyway?). We took the scale out of the box and tried it out. This scale is evil...it is like your worst female enemy in high school. You know the one that finds joy in telling you that your body fat percentage is in the 'obese' range! Yeah, you all know what I am talking about. Anyways, it measures weight, total body fat, total water percentage, and it tells you if you are 'obese', 'over-fat', 'healthy' or 'under-fat'. Torture.
