January 16th - Joining WW

Today is the big day when I am going to join Weight Watchers.  I'm fairly outgoing for the most part, but I've always hated going to new things.  I guess it's pretty normal to feel apprehensive but it's worse when it's something you feel self-conscious about like weight.  I've got most of today to sit around and worry about how it goes.  I keep imagining that I'll get there and nobody else will turn up.

On a brighter note, I had  a motorcycle lesson today.  I am going for my licence in a couple of weeks and have a few more lessons between now and then.  It gets pretty hot and sticky on the bike for two hours - as I was riding along I was thinking about the possibility that the fluid loss due to sweating might help minimise my first weigh-in tonight!  The convoluted things my brain comes up with to try and cheat my way into being lighter is just laughable. But then I know a lot of other people who do it too.  It's obviously a general human failing.

Wish me luck for my first meeting, I'll fill you in on the details tomorrow.
