Today I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started my diet. All I was thinking was, "If its anything less than what I started with, then I will be happy." (I have a tendency to be negative, and its my diet downfall if I don't see a minus sign in my dieting.) So, for me, it was a thrill when I saw that number be 7 pounds less than what I started at! I know that won't happen every time but it is a start to get me going at least. WOOHOOO!!! Just wanted to share!!
