I have gotten in the routine of SPLURGING the day of my weigh in...however, I am starting to think this might not be such a good idea.

I had my first weigh in this past Saturday and I lost 6 pounds...and then ate 4 pieces of pizza and a half gallon of ice cream...

Advice please...cant talk myself out of this!

First, congratulations on the 6lbs! That's a good loss.

I totally understand the splurging feeling. I wonder if it's a question of still viewing the weightloss process as a penalty to be endured. We get to Judgement Day, we've escaped the wrath of the scales, so we celebrate. Maybe we need to talk our heads into making the weightloss a part of who we are, not an imposition, a thing we choose to do to better our heatlh, not a penalty.

One thing to remember on your first weigh in, is the first couple weeks the weight you drop will be mostly fluids. Then you will have a standstill for a couple weeks (that's where I am right now) The thing to remember is it isn't about the number, you have to look at it as a different lifestyle. And what you eat has to work for you for the long term. Try buying a pizza and cutting it frozen and only cook your portion. Then substitute your icecream for frozen yogurt. Hope that helps! Congrats by the way!
