- I resisted the temptation of a brownie sundae Monday night and of tons of baked goods this morning. This has been a tough week but I have my eye on the prize...which is better health. Also found out today I have extremely high cortisol and very low progesterone which both have symptoms of making it really hard to lose weight so I'm hopeful now that I'll be on medicine for both. Despite it being hard I'm still slowly losing. For me it's little wins at a time...and non scale victories. Also I got a new haircut!!
