The changing, sweet taste of success!

Oh yes! I am feeling different about my weight loss. As you all know, I have been stalled at 150lbs for the past month. I would like to lose another 5-10lbs but I have just been maintaining.

Here is the deal...this morning I stepped on the scale. I had an okay week...a couple of slips that I documented on here but nothing too serious. Last night we went out for dinner. I couldn't face another grilled beef/chicken/fish and veggies meal so I ordered a half order of Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesidillas with a side of brocolli. I ate 3/4 or it and gave the rest away. Sooo, back to this morning and the scale. I stepped on and....drum roll, please....149lbs!!!! I was so, so happy! Not because it said I had lost a pound 'cause I doubt that will hang around for tomorrow but because I hadn't gained anything despite the dinner choice last night, the cream cheese brownie fiasco of a couple of days ago, a beer and a couple of glasses of wine and...a serious run-in with some almonds a couple of times this past week.

So, you see, my attitude is changing. Before, I would be obsessing about not losing any weight...now I am satisfied to hold on to the weight that is really gone. Before, a couple of food failures might have resulted in me saying, "Forget it...I don't mind being a little fat...just let me eat anything in sight, anytime I want it." Now, I say, "Okay...that brownie/beer/nut/tortilla was good but it was a"treat"...back to eating LC and in moderation. I worked too darned hard to get to this weight to throw it all away! No sir!"

I feel like I am finding balance. I feel like this is really becoming a lifestyle and not even just a WOE. I feel like I can do this. Yeah!

All blog readers? You can do this too! Have a fabulous weekend and hugs to you all.
