I have some more encouraging news, according to the scale this morning I am down two pounds. While this is very encouraging I'll check my weight again on Monday and see if I am able to maintain the weight loss. If on Monday I'm still two pounds down then I will consider it as a true weight loss and set my sights on another 1-2 pounds for next week.
I've been trying to eat a lot better and cut cookies and pop out completely except for my cheat day but it's really hard. I'm not sure if it's better to cut it out like this or allow myself to have a little bit of it during the day.... the first week was good but I just had 3/4 of a cookie today and two glasses of pop yesterday. I have kept my calories down (only going over by less than 100) but the past couple of days have been really stressful and for this kind of stress I'm finding that I turn to things like pop and cookies for comfort. This week I think I'm going to allow some cheating during the day but keep it to one cookie or one can of pop. I don't want to cause myself to binge and this way I can hopefully stick to my new way od eating more successfully. It's all about finding balance. I'm a firm believer that when something isn't working anymore that changing is ok.
