Today begins day 3 and I am hanging in there!
My scale said I have lost 8.5 lbs since Monday night and I do not believe it for a second
Time to buy another scale.
Good thing the contest weigh ins are at work on the fitness center scale. I'll report the true progress on 22Jan08.

Days 1 and 2 have been relatively easy since work has been busy and I don't have time to think about food. Since I have gone to the gym for exercise by the time I get home it is time for dinner, bath, and bed.....not much time to cheat.
I guess the trick is to stay busy...

I read the following quote in a post this morning:

"Your body is the piece of the universe you've been given, the place where love and joy and grief happen, where happiness unfolds.

Do you really want to keep believing that it's a horrible, ugly, lumpy thing? Do you really want to keep punching yourself like that?"

You: are not your weight.
You: are not a number.
You: are not defined by your eating plan.
You: are not your dieting success.
