The Big Weigh In!

I lost 6 pounds!!!!  Yay!!!  My new weight is 201.  I have to admit I was a little disappointed initially.  Stupid I know.  All the experts say that losing 1-2 pounds per week is the best, because losing it slowly will help you keep it off permanently.  But of course being a recovering roller coaster dieter I don’t want to lose weight slowly.  I want to lose it fast.  As always I have to talk to myself so I can change my mentality.  To self:  That is why you’ve been on the roller coaster for so long, because you lose it – binge – gain it back, lose it – binge – gain it back.  I’m so done with the roller coaster.  I WANT TO GET OFF!!!  

So I felt so much better in the afternoon.  I’m so excited because this is exactly what I want – to lose weight permanently and to learn to eat healthy but in a way I can live with for the rest of my life.
