Perfection’s Crucible

Today at my job they announced the winner of the weight loss challenge that the owner sponsored.  The contest was for three months and the winner only lost 13 pounds.  During this time I was busy working out and everyone in the office was wondering why I wasn’t in the contest.

For all my life my battle with my weight has been a very personal issue.  Only till recently have I decided to be more open about it.  So yesterday my boss started another weigh loss contest and the winner urged me to enter it so that he would feel he "had some competition."  One never to shy away from a challenge, I entered our contest this time.

August 14th is the weigh-in and I’ll hopefully have my first "official" weight that I can post and begin to track my progress in pounds instead of inches.  I’m nervous that I might be too big for their scales but there is only one way to find out…wish me luck.
