Today went fairly well again until the evening. That is the time I struggle the most. I never used to be an evening snacker, but I’m always hungry in the evenings, and I’m not as busy (I should be doing homework, but usually I don’t), and things are not as regimented for me as they are during the day (no food in the office, and the vending machine never gives me trouble). I had more cereal than I should have, and I had an extra spoonful of peanut butter. It probably won’t kill me, but I don’t want to start off badly.
I’m looking forward to a loss tomorrow morning, but I’m not expecting as big of one as I had this morning, of course. On the bright side, I weighed 174 at the gym, and that scale is pretty accurate, and I haven’t been that in at least a week when I’ve weighed at the gym.
I’ve hung up a couple of new dresses I bought the other day to wear to a wedding mid-may. They lack a couple inches of zipping, but I think I might be able to fit into them in a month. If not, I did keep the receipt, and I have 90 days to return them. They’re providing me with some motivation, though. They’re both sleeveless, and I never would have worn that before I lost weight. They’re size 12s, but I always wear a couple sizes higher in dresses than I do in anything else. Has anyone else noticed that?

Looks like your are doing well - I know those evenings can be tough. Dresses - that’s great motivation. You should post pictures. I honestly don’t know if I wear higher sizes in dresses, because I almost never try one on… I look at them on the rack, and think, “That wouldn’t be flattering on me.”
