Progress

I am so excited because I weighed myself today.  I’m going to try to weigh myself every Wednesday.  I am officially down 3.5 pounds since I started two weeks ago.  I know that it’s not much, but it’s a start.  It’s more than I have lost in a long time.  I am so proud of myself.  This new diet and exercise program that I have started myself on is working.

I have worked so hard these last two weeks and it’s such a good feeling to know that all my hard work is starting to pay off.  3.5 pounds is so close to my goal of two pounds a week.  I’m not quite there yet, but I am hopeful to lose so much more.  I look forward to the day that I see progress when I look in the mirror, not just on the scale.

I must confess that I did kind of cheat on my diet yesterday.  I felt so bad about it.  Last night, I realized that I had forgotten to take my pill which I am supposed to take with food.  I tried to take it without eating anything as soon as I realized that I forgot it.  However, within a few minutes, I began to feel sick, so I ate a piece of cheese that was not part of a meal.  I felt so much better except for the guilt of not following my diet.  I know that it’s not a big deal. I just worry that one exception will lead to more and that will be the end of my willpower.

I think that is way I am so happy with my weight today.  I need something to keep me excited and wanting to work towards my goal.  I need to stay on track.
