I now believe the saying "Curiosity killed the cat." I just died. I have been doing an excellent job since I started eating better on Monday and continuing to exercise since May. But I became curious a few minutes ago and wanted to check on my progress. I decided to weigh myself even though my intention was to weigh on Mondays. Why did I do that? I stepped on that scale and it said that I weighed the same as I had Monday morning. I know I should be consistent with the time and days that I weigh but I couldn't help it. It's 11:33 at night and I understand that I have eaten and normally people weigh more during the day after eating...but I have to vent. I don't know how I feel now. I surprisingly don't have the urge to throw in the towel and eat everything in sight, which is good. But I feel as though I should modify something in my diet. I want to drastically cut the calories and exercise more, but that isn't a good idea. I have read all of the books, learned from personal experiences, and given/taken advice about how your body needs energy, you don't want to lose muscle, blah blah. I am just a little discouraged right NOW, that's all. Tomorrow is another day and reaching my goal weight by August 14 is near the top of my list. The satisfaction of having confidence in myself and looking good...will bring me back!! I can and WILL be a LOSER!! Thanks for listening...um...reading.

For a second, I thought your cat died. What a different post from my expectations! I'm glad that you were able to rationalize yourself out of making bad choices - good for you! That's progress!
