14!

Good news at the scale last night - I lost another 3.4 lbs - bringing my total to 14lbs.... I am so excited! No real change in clothes yet, maybe my belt is a little looser, but no real changes just yet...

So - I am honestly trying to follow the Weight Watchers good health guidelines - I am eating apples, oranges, salads, and carrots everyday - and I'm liking it... But...

In last nights meeting the group was talking about not denying yourself things you really enjoy, for example one girl said she eats 3 mini milky ways everyday (3 points) and that way she doesn't go crazy and buy a king size at the check out stand....

Another person said she allows her self 1 small cup of ice cream every night just to curb her cravings... This went on and on..

Tragically I was born without the power to curb cravings and self control... This is why I'm there in the first place... I just don't get the shut it off and stop eating it- if it's there, I'm going to eat it... Example - I LOVE potato chips - and if I were to have just one of the salty, savory chips - I would eat the whole bag. I know me... so how does a person find that balance? Can I purchase a shut off valve?

So - I have been so so so good for the past three weeks, and for now my plan is to continue to be so so so good, with a hint of food denial.
