184

I’m down two pounds. That feels so much better. It is really tough not getting too eager each week and keeping things in a healthy moderation. I have to work on not getting discouraged when I don’t lose or even when I slightly gain.

It’s so easy to say “screw it” I messed up “let’s eat!”

I don’t know where the rationalization is in compounding the problem and making it that much more difficult to get back on track.

I have to work on not being a slave to that number on the scale. It shouldn’t define me. I need to remind myself that, when I forget about the scale, I feel great. I’ve been lingering at the view of my reflection in the mirror and loving it. That is what should count.

After all, that number is quite arbitrary. We could have come up with another numbering system. Take the English and their stones, for example. According to one of those blokes, I weigh just over 13 stone.

13 is a nice small number and when I envision what the stone looks like, in my mind, it resembles more a pebble than a boulder.
