Thank you ladies, so much, for your supportive comments! It really was just what I’ve been needing! I just want to feel like someone is listening. I’ve looked at your blogs and I’m so impressed with the work that you’ve done! I’ll be following regularly so you, too, can always know that someone is reading. 
Also, thank you so much Grace, for your compliments on my picture. I was actually upset with all of the pictures from our hike and only put ones of my boyfriend up on facebook. It means a lot to know that I can put up my “bad” pictures on this site and know that I wont be judged for not being thin enough. Again, thank you.
Today was.. okay.
I weighed in at 182.2, which is actually great considering I had gotten back up as far as 187. (I don’t think I was actually 187, but eating all day and night before led to some pretty high next day weigh-ins.)
I wish that I could have taken my lower weigh in and let it lead to great choices all day. Instead, I made a few mistakes, but I’m not going to beat myself up too badly.
Mistake #1: I slept very late. Very, as in, 3 something. I didn’t eat anything until I went to dinner with some friends around 8. I suggested Applebees because I know that they have some pretty tasty under 550 meals. Well, because I was starving, I let temptation get the best of me and I ordered the chicken ravioli florentine (YUM.) I did skip appetizers, so I guess thats a plus 1 point? No? Okay, ha.
Mistake #2: Coldstone. Enough said.
Although I didn’t make the best choices, I did refrain from letting it ruin my day. I didn’t come home with the mindset that I ruined everything, that I can eat every bad food in the house and that I’m never going to lose another pound because I can’t even be happy with a steak dinner, I HAVE to have pasta. Although, I am really confused about why I couldn’t just order something off of the under 550 menu. I know that they taste good, I’ve had them. Am I THAT addicted to carbs and cream sauce? What’s the deal. Something tells me that if I can figure this out, things would be a lot easier.
I wish I could write all night, but unfortunately, classes start back tomorrow. Also starting back tomorrow — GYM VISITS. I was doing so well and just stopped going. Hopefully it wont be too hard getting back into routine. Wish me luck!
Night, ladies!
