This week was tough. It seemed like I was either SPOT ON or ON A FOOD BENDER. 
Next week I’m shooting for more balance. I have had a lot of stress, which I could use as an excuse. But life will always have stress and I need to learn how to eat well even in trying times.
I also want to get better about blog updates. When I regularly blogged on 3FC I posted every day, but since I moved to a different URL, I’m procrastinating. I also haven’t been taking my food journal photos. SO, we’ll work on that!

UPDATE (later in the evening):
I’m suddenly feeling very grumpy and I’m having a bit of a meltdown. I *know* I’ve lost weight. I *know* I’ve gone down a few sizes. Therefore I *know* I should be happy and more importantly grateful.
But WHY do I feel like I LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME???? I’ve been comparing recent photos to older photos. I can tell that I have lost a tiny bit of weight in my face, but my arms, stomach, butt, thighs all look the same to me. A grand total of two people have mentioned my weight loss. Not even my husband, closest friends or family have noticed.
I’m not trying to bring anyone down and I am not phishing for compliments. I’m just frustrated and I know I can share that openly here at 3FC. I know it will happen eventually and I need to be F***ing patient. I just needed to get that out.
Rant over.
YUmmmYYYY =D
YAY to your weightloss this week ~
How much have you lost now?
Back in 2002 when I had a big weight loss I think it was about 40 pounds before I got comments. I was pretty surprised, but I think people were hesitant to comment until they were sure they saw a real change.
And I feel you so much about looking in the mirror or in photos & not seeing a big differnce. When I was a teenager I used to think that if I lost weight I could look like my friends, or even models. I really bought into the magazines talkng about reducing this or that, all through my 20s. I never lost a substantial amount of wt until I was about your age, and then it was a Rude Awakening to realize that I was still an apple. A smaller apple, but an apple none the less. I’ll never be a pear, no matter how much I lose or how much I invested in cosmetic surgery. At first this was a big disappointment to me, and since then it’s been rather liberating.
I ran across this article and immediately thought of you and your yummy pictures:
Photographing meals could help weight loss
sorry I have not been on in a while. How are you doing?
