My weigh in

Date: Friday 10th April 2009.
Week at ww: 7
Weight: 18st8.5lb
Loss this week: 3lb
Total loss: 1st 5.5lb

Yeah!! I have lost another 3lb! I am very happy as I was not entirely sure how well this week had gone. In fact, just to check, I stepped on and off the scales about three times. Each time was slightly different???? But all showed I had lost at least three pounds.

I decided to treat myself so when I went shopping at the local shopping centre I thought I would stop for a coffee and a muffin. As I started drooling over the cakes in Starbucks, my subconcious voice kicked in. 'Do you really need that? You could use those points better later.' I couldn't believe it! My willpower left me over the last few days and decided to return at a time when I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't there! Why does this always happen? I can refuse a treat when I deserve one yet when I turn to comfort food I am left to wallow in self pity and just keep eating more and more.

Don't get me wrong, I am pleased that I was able to leave the cake. I enjoyed my coffee without it. I just need to learn to transfer these thoughts to times when I need to hear that voice reminding me that I don't actually need to fill my face with food.

Well. lets hope that my next weigh in is just as successful!!
