OK, folks, I'm all about honesty here. I am SHOCKED that the scale read 287.0 today. I went in fully expecting to have gained at least 5 pounds. I'm a little bloated, and I've been eating pretty much whatever I've wanted for the last week or two. So, to hear that I've lost 2.4 pounds nearly floored me.
I've asked Joseph to be in prayer with me. I don't want to develop a complex that I can eat whatever I want and still lose weight. I know that isn't true. My bad choices most certainly will catch up with me.
Joseph was sweet today and reminded me that although we've made some bad choices lately, we're still doing better than we were. That was a good reminder for me. We're making progress. That was our biggest goal.
I'm down a total of 13.4 pounds. Weighing in at 287, I'm almost where I was when we started dieting last fall. Maybe in a couple of months I'll be where I was when we stopped dieting. I'm 1.6 pounds away from my 5% goal of 15 pounds (that's 5% of my starting weight). It's exciting to be so close!
Thanks again for your prayers and encouragement. They're much appreciated!
