Mini Weight Loss Goals Work.

I announced in my Weight Watchers meeting a few weeks ago that the way I was going to Treat Myself Well (the theme of the meeting) would be to reward myself with a haircut after I lost four pounds. Today, I weighed in precisely four pounds lighter than I was that day.

I've been looking forward to this for weeks; even though I only declared my intention publicly a few weeks ago, I'd been wanting to cut my hair since before we went on vacation in May. Although it's not the perfect cut, I do like having thirteen inches off of my hair — and, as always, I like the thought that my hair will go to help a cancer-stricken kid have a head of hair again.
