I stopped weighing myself for several weeks, not intentionally, but out of discouragement in my failure. My job was and remains very demanding. Sometimes I have the energy to care about diet and other times the best I can manage is to grab something quick on the way home.
Imagine my surprise at seeing a 5 pound loss from my beginning weight this past week! It was so exciting. I thought back over my habits as of late. I have continued to try and avoid excess sugar intake. I am eating a lot more school lunches...so I am eating less because those meals are pre-portioned. And I had been making an effort to have healthier snacks in the house.
The little things do count. It has been 6 months from my first goals to lose 7.5 pounds. I'm over half-way there. A 10 pound loss by December would be awesome, but if I can reach my goal by September I will be happy. Happier still if I can keep it off. I have seen my weight fluctuate in this 6 month effort and I hope I can remain steady.
