Today I went to Curves to get weighed and measured. After dropping out of Curves last year to join a regular gym (complete with sweaty men and skinny fitness instructors), I have done nothing but gain weight and go up in sizes. So last month I paid 30 bucks to join Curves for a month as part of their fitness study. Something amazing happened: I actually went to the gym. I have been 12 times, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks now. To complete the study, I had to go back in today to get my final numbers. I knew I had not lost any weight, but I really did not deserve to lose any weight since I have been pigging out all month (hey, it's my birthday month!).
Well, I am quite proud to say that I have lost over 12 inches this month. That's a whole foot of flab!!! 3 inches from my waist, 6 from my lower abdomen , 2 from my hips... (I wish some of it had been from my chin. Maybe next month. They don't measure double chins though.)
Needless to say, I rejoined this morning, which I had already planned on doing. Curves is just the most practical solution for me and it is the only thing that has ever given me results. I also don't have social anxiety every time I walk in there. I just feel safe there. And it smells so much better than our regular gym.

I had to change the title of this post because some people though the original title was a little suggestive, which I had NOT intended. But, I can see their point.
