Dont really know why I havent lost anything over the last few days but overall I am very happy with my loss so far. I have been feeling a little discouraged. There is this little part of me that keeps saying that Im fine the way I am and if I stay this way I can eat what I want. But then I have to remind myself that I cant just say I'll be fat and happy because I am not happy this way. Im not fine with the way I look. I need to remember how I felt when I was strong and healthy before. After my second child I had lost so much weight that I was less than I was in highschool. I went to the gym almost everyday. I ate healthy but didnt starve myself. I was about 135 and felt better than I have ever felt! I want that again. I just need to get to the point mentally where I am willing sacrifice my old eating habits and go through some tough moments to obtain that. The fact is that this wont be easy all the time. When we mess up, often times making up for the mess up can be difficult. I just have to keep reminding myself that it is all going to be worth it!

Anyways, today is a new day and its going to be a SMASHING day!

169.5 lb Lost so far: 5.5 lb.    Still to go: 34.5 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
