Hey folks. I just posted a list of roster changes for week 4. Teams welcome your new members.

Roster changes for week 4

A bitch of a week...

2008-06-06T16:16:00.003-04:00

Sorry folks for being late this week. I've been doing my best to stay afloat in the real world. Work has been insane - I've pulled 3 separate 24 hour shifts this week and I'm still not quite done. Hopefully the madness ends tonight and I can repair some hurt feelings on the home front. I'll get the weigh-in post up tonight. Week 3 stats may be another day or so.

Confession is good for the soul

So I guess this post, a slight deviation from the typical game related info, signifies a small transition of the purpose of this site. I'm feeling the need to put my week into words and can find no better forum than this one. I know a few of you do check in on this site from time to time and perhaps might find some of my own anecdotes from my personal journey down the road from obesity to fit interesting, disgusting, humorous, annoying, maybe even on occasion inspiring. Well, please don't count on any inspiration coming from this, my first foray into self aggrandizement. I had an awful week. I gained 5.5 pounds from last week and I'm miserable and ashamed. I am so damn ashamed of myself that for the past 3 days I've been operating on the assumption that I, the self appointed Commissioner of the Weight Loss Game, would simply post a steady 255, no change from last week and just work like hell this week to take it off again. After all, who would question it? Who would know? The answer is, of course, I would. I honestly believe that if I had allowed myself to post, record and then calculate that score for myself I would have quit not only this game but the RW Forums the very next day. And do you know what would have happened then? I would have been severing myself from the one true source of support and accountability I have in this thing and who knows where that would have lead. 5.5 pounds this week could very easily have turned into +8 next week, +10 the week after, and by the time my 35th birthday rolled around at the end of the month I'd be right back in size 44's, stretching to fit into XXL's and wondering where in the hell I went wrong... AGAIN!! So here I am. Warts and all. 5.5 pounds heavier. But you know what? I made it through the other side. The week is over. The routine starts again when the alarm goes off in the morning. Confession is truly good for the soul. It's out there. I own it! It sure as hell doesn't own me!
