Anyway, sorry to hear about your less-than-stellar day. I really understand how that frustration of not losing as much as you thought you should can get to you. I wish I had the solution to that feeling. On the cookies, honestly, if I were you, I would consider not baking them even though you do have guests coming over. Is there any dessert/food that you actually don't like. (Like for me it's peanut butter.) I know that if I even had cookie dough sealed in the package somewhere in my house tonight, I would have eaten some of it. Especially in the moments where you can feel yourself starting to waver, it's really hard to resist those temptations. And it's far better just to make your guests eat broccoli than to end up consuming a bunch of extra calories. Tonight, I had Katie over for dinner and served exactly what I needed to eat anyway. And as far as the one pound...that's good. You've lost so much already. Some weeks are likely to be slower, but that's okay. And you definitely did not eat enough calories to hurt you at all. I put your food in CalorieKing and it was about 1100 calories, not enough to even think twice about. Looks like I was commenting on your last post as you were writing this one!
