YES!!!

Well, I have to say since the last time I posted (8 days ago) that I havent been really motivated. I've stuck with the program but only barely. Everyday I have struggled with giving up and shoving platefuls of mexican food, smothered in sour cream, into my mouth and then finishing it up with a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts..... but, I didnt do it. I went the gym....ate my protein and veggies and kept those hideous thoughts to myself. I wonder sometimes if I am the only person who struggles this way. You here all kinds of success stories from various women...and I only include women because men seem to have it easy when it comes to weight loss... but, I think sometimes that I am the only one out there that struggles with these thoughts of eating myself to death. I know that isnt true of course

So anyway.....I decided this past Saturday, after staying the same weight for over a week, that I was going to continue doing the protein/veggie thing for one more week. If by this Saturday I hadnt lost anymore, then I was going to go back to previous eating plan. Yesterday I was so un-motivated that during my workout, I decided I wouldnt workout another day this week. I was just going to quit until next Monday... When I woke up this morning I decided I would weight myself just to see if anything had changed, even though I wasnt going to weigh until Saturday. Im so glad I did because I have lost 3 more pounds since last Saturday!!! What a relief and it has given me renewed motivation to continue....its amazing what a little weight loss can do for your psyche! This puts me at 228....I havent been below 230 for 5 years. Im so excited!
