WW, but not II

A funny thing happened to me on the way to a WeightWatchers message board.  As I meandered through the topics being discussed, there was a lone soul who had done a baddie by bringing up politics.  The ground rules ask you to avoid controversial topics "such as politics" as being inappropriate, as if people with political ideas didn't get fat.  Anyway, there are dog lovers who are fat, fat riders (that's where I am), fat cat lovers, knitters, you name it, a group for every interest.
  
Oddly enough, however, considering the ground rules, there are groups of people who profess every kind of crackpot religious opinion, and talk about boring!  Not to mention, of course, controversial, but somehow these possessors of THE truth haven't caught on to that.  The big question is, how come agnostics and atheists also loose weight??  Is it a trick of the devil?  Does God make these rabid Christians fat to put them to the test?  And will I get kicked out of WW if I ask some of these questions on the religious message boards?  Let's try it and see...

Meanwhile back at the proverbial ranch, our dog training course begins this evening at seven.  I can't take the dog with me in the morning until I get my new collar, which the trainer will probably get on Tuesday.  One of my grand-daughters is interested in watching the training; she is an animal lover par excellence.

The house is unbearable; there are people working on three doors and two bathrooms, pounding and drilling and painting and installing and getting stuff dusty and dirty.  We are having spinach quiche for lunch today, complete with gruyere cheese, but the stress alone around here will prevent me from gaining weight.

And for the dad-gummed record, after being hungry all week, I only lost a small portion of a pound!!
