    YAY!!!!

    I'm choosing to count it ALL joy about dropping 0.2 lbs, rather than give in to the temptation of grumbling or complaining and being dissatisfied with such a "seemingly" small loss.

      Love the attitude! It's exactly the one I need to keep when I get bummed over seeing a small budge on the scale. :)

      If every day you make small steps when you look up you will see that you have climbed mountains...or something like that!

      Any loss is better than a gain! Good job :bigsmile:

      Exactly! I am longing for the time in the not too distant future (a girl can hope, right?!?), where losses and even gains on the blasted scale won't make much of a nevermind to me--but until that time, WOO-HOO for loses:wink: no matter how small:drinker:
