Doing My Happy Dance

Well, after a 2 week plateau, I finally lost some more flab. I won't tell you how much yet, you'll have to read all the way down to the bottom of the post. I love keeping you in suspense.

I think I've done really well while on the You: On a Diet plan, but I have to tell you, I was feeling a little discouraged the last couple of weeks. It's disappointing to step on the scale and not lose any weight. I'm only human, folks. I was bummed. But you know what? I DIDN'T GIVE UP. I kept up my daily walking. I didn't slurp up the ice cream or throw in the towel. I just kept doing what I was suppose to do. I kept my eyes on my goal, visualized how I wanted to look, and kept telling myself that I can do this. One meal at a time, one day at time, one meal at a time. Several times during my other weight loss attempts, when I got frustrated, I cheated. I ate what I've craved. Then I felt guilty afterwards, felt bad, and ate some more junk. Then I told myself, 'self, you've blown it now, no need to continue the diet, try again next week, month, year'. Sounds familar to anyone else? I know I can't be alone in this cheat/guilt/gorge/guilt/give up cycle, am I? I'm really proud of myself this time for not throwing in the towel. High fives anyone?
