I had another day off today. (Yes, I work for the schools!), I had spent the day deciding if I want to weigh myself this week. I need to, but I always have a huge dilemma, because I've been eating healthy, exercising everyday, drinking lots of water, therefore, I should've at least lost 15 lbs. this week right??!! That's my thought process I need to change. I want to lose weight NOW!! And I need to know that I didn't gain it all in one week, so I need to weigh myself and be happy if there is any loss this week. I do feel better, and I seem to have more energy!! I've been thinking of why I'm fat. And the reasons that I'm in this place. I have been measuring my snacks for the day, and I carry the container wherever I go, that way if  hunger strikes, I can munch on something. I'm very conscious now of what food goes in my mouth. I live alone, so most meals are quick while I'm standing over the kitchen sink. I'm sitting down to eat now. I'm preparing a meal, not "tasting" it before, and I make sure that everything is on the table before I sit down. This seems to be working. I feel satisified after I'm done eating, and I'm not rushing or doing a grab and go meal anymore. I'm watching my portions very closely.

        I did pull out my big red exercise ball this morning again. Both dogs came running, and sat there watching me. I'm pretty sure they were waiting for me to fall off of it again. I could've sworn I saw them nudge each other and smile!  And, NO, I did not fall off today!!! Woo Hoo! Another successful day, And I'm happy that I'm able to do this with such wonderful people!!
