FiNaLlY!! (AKA: Week 14)

I finally broke through the barrier (mostly in my head) and LOST 1.8 pounds!!!

For the past 5 or so weeks I have been the girl who weighs herself EVERY MORNING - it sucks!! This week, I did NOT weigh myself every day. I didn't prior to that because it was fun to see those "big" numbers. But after a while, I began to expect weight loss EVERY day. Then the self loathing came with it. If I was up a pound or 2 - I would beat myself up for the rest of the day. "Tina, you fat lard!" And suppose I was down a pound or so - I would treat myself to something nice... i.e. REAL (not baked or rice) potato chips, or a chocolate chip cookie, or an extra slice of naughty pizza heavy with cheese and pepperoni. It's a vicious cycle. I really don't want to be one of 'those' people who weigh themselves constantly... what a HORRIBLE way to start EVERY day!! I need to be grateful every day for a body that moves, breaths, smiles, laughs, cries (occasionally), processes food efficiently and houses my spirit - it may not be perfect - but it's good enough for me.

I hope you all are seeing good changes!! Here's to another good week!!
