I fight with my dog over food. I take stuff that I put into the garbage out if it looks clean. I try and hide food from myself but always seem to find it. Oh yes, I am in the battle for weight loss. The good news is that I am doing great right now. I weighed in last night. This was the first time that I have went 1 month between weigh-ins. It was tough, it was discouraging, and it was scary. I went anyway though. When I stepped on the scale the lady told me to get off because she wasn’t done with my sister who weighed before. At that moment I saw a special glimpse of the first 2 numbers in my weight. What a relief, what a victory. I ended up losing 3.8 lbs. which put me at a present weight loss of 122 lbs. My goal is to be 185 and under for my maintenance. I weighed 185. I really want to be in the 170’s, but it is more realistic to be at <185. What a relief. I was pretty freaked out!

Congratulations on your loss – 122 pounds! You have more will power than I do to go a month between weighings. Sometimes I cannot go a day.
Sometimes staying away from the scale for a while is the best thing you can do. Lets you focus on what you’re doing instead of what the scale is saying.
