It works, it really works!!!

So yesterday I went out with my son and I ate without guilt, without the desire to spend two hours at the gym working off what I ate. I went out with KNOWLEDGE. The knowledge of knowing how to do this the right way. I knew that I had extra calories that I hadn't used so I could enjoy myself. I knew that I didn't have to beat myself up or reduce myself to eating lettuce to enjoy a nice dinner with my son. The biggest thing I knew was that I could wake up this morning and keep going. I hadn't "fallen off the wagon" or "screwed up my week". I got up this morning and felt great not only because the scale actually showed I lost a pound but that I had GAINED so much more. I finally GOT IT. I finally knew that I could do this. So I'm here to tell you that "gaining" is pretty fun too!!!
