Dear Wii Fit -
Thank you for giving me a good workout. You reminded me that it has been 565 days since I last used you for my physical health routine. You then proceeded to suggest to me that since I haven't been using you for working out that you hoped I had been keeping up an active routine. When you found out how much weight I have gained in the past 565 days, you were amazed...and you told me so. Although, you were excited that my weight was under overweight...just barely.
I'm not sure that I feel better after my workout. I felt like you were telling me that I've been lazy, which is true. However, I don't need to be reminded by a machine. As a matter of fact, I realize it every single day that I look in the mirror.
565 days ago, I told you that my goal was to lose 5 - 10 lbs. Today, my weight loss goal is 15 lbs, which doesn't even get me to my weight 565 days ago. You told me that I have gained 16.5 lbs since I last used you. That's not very nice. You could have just told me that I need to make better goals for myself. Thanks.
One good thing that did come about from your cruel remarks is that I am now more motivated to lose that 10 lbs in 2 months. That is 2.5 lbs every 2 weeks. I think that isn't a bad goal. I can do it. Especially now that I know tomorrow will be better when it comes to your verbal abuse. You will be proud of me for working out twice in one week. That's a nice feeling.
The reason I'm writing this letter to you, Wii Fit, is because I know that I can reach my goal...with or without you. It's getting warmer and that means I can ride my bike more. I can also run on the dirt road, not just on the treadmill (which is how I run when I use you to run - very clever isn't it? Better than running in place. I sure tricked you). On cool days, I will still use you to Hula Hoop and for Boxing. I might even use you for abs and yoga (I do enjoy your yoga moves). Do not fear, I will be back to use you.
Thanks Wii Fit.
Sincerely,
Carrie
