If you had to choose between losing 1 lb in 1 week, or finding 3 genuinely happy moments during that same week – which do you think would come easier?
If you guessed losing weight for Maya, then *DING DING DING DING* you would be right! 
I weighed in 2.4 lbs below what I weighed in last week. Reasons of vanity prevent me from saying how much that really is, but suffice it to say that I had gained a LOT of weight in recent months, and I’ve been recycling the same 1-1.2 lbs for the past two months – up 1 lb, down 0.8, up 0.6 lb, down 1.2… a never ending bitter cycle. In fact, I don’t know if this 2.4 lbs loss will be sustainable, but for now, I’ll take it
Of course, it’s a testament to my mental state of unhappiness right now, that I can lose weight more easily than I can find reasons to be happy. How sad is that? Oh well, losing this weight *IS* a cause for happiness, and if I can lose another, oh say 20 lbs, I’d be ecstatic I wonder if I ever will? Lose the 20 lbs or be truly ecstatic?
