I had such a great 'diet' day yesterday. I woke up this morning thinking that my weight would have a huge drop on the scale. Because that makes sense, right? Have one good day and reach your goals? Well, the scale was actually up from yesterday by over a pound. Was I pissed? Hell ya. I wanted to be down at least a pound. It was kind of discouraging. The old me would have walked out of that bathroom and started cooking bacon; the new me was very tempted to do this as well, but she didn't. I filled a pot with water and started some hard boiled eggs. I have to keep reminding myself that it took me 2 years to put this weight on; it's not going to come off in a week.
I started my first DietBet on Tuesday at over 167 pounds. That was an evening weight, fully clothed. I'm used to morning weights, unclothed, so this number was quite the shocker. I started my second DietBet last night at 165 pounds fully clothed. That's over 2 pounds lost already in less than a week. These are the successes that I need to focus on. Yes, my scale was up this morning from yesterday morning's weight, but it's down from Tuesday!
My goal is to write a blog post every Saturday morning with an update of how my week has gone. Keep me going, DietBet!!!
