Seven pounds, two ounces.
That’s all I’ve lost.
It’s hard not to be just a little bummed about it. But, why beat myself up over it? That’s seven pounds I didn’t have before. That’s seven pounds in the RIGHT direction. It may not be as much and as fast as others, but I have to quit beating myself up about not being the best at it.
This is hard.
You would think it is easy. Faced with two choices I have proven unable to take the healthy option. I will rationalize the hell out of every situation and possible outcome to eventually get what I want. And that’s the bread. Or the sugar. Or the butter.

But, I am committing to keeping my attitude positive. It’s difficult when I’m not keeping up with everyone else. Or I watch as others triumph only to see myself fail week after week. That type of comparison has no room in my head and I’m going to continue to remind myself that it’s one step at a time. One pound at a time.
It took more than a day to put it on. It will take more than a day to get it off.
This is crunch time and it’s now or never. Stay positive! One bad week (or month) is not enough to stop me this time. I refuse to let the negative thoughts take control of me. One bad choice doesn’t equal an entire day of bad choices. Start now.

Hang in there and stick with it. It’ll be so worth it!
I hope that you remember that one pound per week is a good and healthy weight loss and is actually normal! Those who lose around a pound per week are those that are most successful in keeping the weight off. I lost about a pound per week (and a few times nothing. Like when it was that time
Of the month) and it took me 5.5 months to lose 30 pounds but it was so worth it! You can do it mama. Just stick with it!
BEEPS!!!! I still love me some beeps!! =)
We can do it! I am in the same boat as you are – except, I have to have a decent Jamaican-resort body by October! HA! We will see how well I do! I also have only lost 7 lbs…. in 3 weeks of dieting with one of those being a “bad” week. I keep getting discouraged but I have to keep in mind what I am working towards! Love you sis! Keep it up!
Thanks SIS! =)
PS. didn’t know you were dieting?? =)
