SCALE SHAME, but probabally a good thing

OH, such shame last night was experienced ... Beth is traumatized with her recent summer weight gain of at least 10 lbs, and Maureen not so happy either, me I think at times I become so apathetic to it I forget how unhappy I am with my weight.  We all were marched upstairs to step onto the scale and face each other, I wanted to crawl into the cabinet - UGH.

So we have all faced the music with our current weight and are now accountable to one another to call and or text our food intake for the day (confessions and/or successes).  This is a good thing.
