Weight Loss Surprise

Posted on October 19, 2014

I just weighed in after attending my dad's bday party last night. I PASSED on the bread basket (really proud of that), had one glass of wine, a small amount of steak and green beans, a salad with balsamic dressing, AND a bigger piece of birthday cheesecake than I had hoped (my brother did the serving--he likes to sabotage my efforts)....Before that I did not eat all day or much the day before. I have been dieting a lot, but too busy to do anything more than walk. I have been sacrificing. Still, this morning's loss shocked me! I am SO used to NO loss showing. I weighed myself FIVE times to make sure I saw the scale correctly. Guys, if this is accurate and I HAVE reached my goal, I will be the happiest participant in this game. You cannot know how slow my loss is, despite my continual efforts. If it is FINALLY paying off, then I am a changed human for sure. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed (and water at my side)!!!

That´s good that he isn´t sabotaging consiously. :-) Good for you, anyone who sabotages needs to mind their own business. And ofcourse expensive cake has to not get thrown away ;-). Once on the plate it´s considered eaten. It´s a real struggle to trow away tasty food but sometimes I have needed to, if it´s int the cubboards - I eat it... that´s just the way I operate most of the time so I have thrown away cuite a bit of candy in my days. I hope and think that you are gonna succeed in this period. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you, FancyNancy. I'm still nervous about the scale, but trying to believe it's true.

That´s awsome! I wonder what the sabotaging party gets out of it... Why would anyone wnat you to be big and what should you do about it?

I think he just cut the cake and when I said (even before he cut it) that I needed a very small piece, he was just too lazy or too insensitive to accommodate my wish. It was expensive cake, so I certainly did not want to waste what was in front of me...and of course, once I tasted it, it was so light and delicious, it was hard to stop eating. It wasn't a huge piece, just larger than I planned on having. I think it was low in sugar--it certainly did not taste very sweet--and it had fresh fruit on top, so a strawberry here a blueberry there. Didn't seem to show up this morning on the scale...maybe tomorrow? I was pretty good today, too. I don't think my brother cares about my weight one way or another, really.
