How I’m doing
November 12th, 2007
This morning, I weighed 156.8. I had hoped to have lost 2 pounds this past week (putting me at 155.8), but I’ll definitely take 1! This past weekend was one of those times when things could have gone horribly wrong with my diet. I was spending the weekend with my BF in Florida. We went to an air show with plenty of fair food offerings - funnel cakes, corn dogs, etc. I compromised, drinking a Coke but splitting a grilled chicken sandwich with my BF. I disagree with those diet nuts who say that it isn’t good for us to link food with celebrating. However, it is good to realize that you can have fun and celebrate without eating a ton of calories. There’s a balance, and I found it this weekend.
I’m still shooting for a 2lb weight loss one of these weeks…I hope to be a 154.8 by next Monday. That’ll set me up for almost hitting my Thanksgiving goal weight of 153.8. Writing what I eat down in my little yellow notebook is helping to keep my tendency to snack too much at work in check.

Congrats on the loss of a pound! Often that’s how they come off, one by one, the little buggers!
I think you did great at the fair, it’s hard to pass up temptations one after another, and in those situations there are often NO good alternatives. I think that having a small taste is actually mastering the situation, and I think you did really well.
It’s always helpful for me to keep a food diary too. Nothing else even comes close — keeps me honest with myself and much more aware.
