Well, I've gotten over my discouragement from yesterday and feel better today. I think hitting the 10 pound weight loss mark helped! <even though I gave in and ate a half of a peach last night right at bedtime>.

I started re-reading my YOU On A Diet book but was afraid it would be to drastic of a change and mess up my weight loss. Then I remembered my South Beach book. I dusted it off and will begin re-reading it today. I think I've brainwashed myself into thinking every form of carb is off-limits. Now I need to reprogram my thinking to include the healthy complex...

Winding down for the nite, although all I did today was mostly relax. I got in a nap, made a veggie casserole, spent time out on the deck with the kitty and my laptop, kicked back in my La Fuma, ate healthy... I can say it was a good day.

I'll do some reading and studying before I make a decision.

Finally after six weeks of doing everything right I have lost three lbs this week. Maybe my body has finally come to the conclusion that it doesn't need to store fat as I keep feeding it plenty. I could feel that I had lost because I was hungry a couple of times and that hadn't happened before. Didn't have any time to do the treadmill as I was busy collecting all mum's clothes from the Rest home she was living in. She has now gone to a private hospital but it is doubtfull that she will walk again. She has had a partial hip replacement but it probably won't stand the strain of walking. She has...
