..went better than I thought.

I stepped on that scale not knowing whether I had gained or lost- but it said I lost 2.2 more lbs!  That may not seem like a lot, but when you think you might have gained, 2 lbs is a lot to go down!  So now the total is up to a whopping 29 pounds.

And then there’s the chocolate cake I ate yesterday.  Yes, I said chocolate cake!  When you deprive yourself for so long, you just end up going off your diet and onto an eating binge, so I decided to try something new on this diet.  This worked for my mom when she was on a diet years ago- she would be on her diet all week, weigh in, and then go out to eat and have one meal of anything she wanted. 

We’ve gone out to eat after our weigh in for the last few weeks now, and we’ve still continued to lose every single week.  I really think this is going to work.  The end (where I can eat something I really like) is always in sight and it helps me to stay focused on losing weight the rest of the time.

I LOVE my sweets, and that chocolate cake was delicious!  And I’m also down another pound this morning.
