Okay, that's enough.

Yeah, last week's weigh in was great... a little weight loss was enough for me. I'm not looking for miracles here. But today, I am at 201. That's 2.5 more than last week. I know it's been a tough week - we had a potluck at lunch Friday, I ate too much Thai food last night, and Sonic for lunch and pizza for dinner Saturday was not a good idea either. But I was still really frustrated this morning when I stepped on the scale.

The worst thing about my weight is that my clothes are not fitting well. I refuse to go buy more pants unless the ones I have become to large. That means that I will be going to work in uncomfortable, ill-fitting clothes until I drop about 10 pounds.

All that said, I did make a few good choices today:
  • Spinach salad for lunch.
  • Yogurt for a snack instead of the crunchy granola bar or M&M's that were also available.
  • Tea for a drink at work instead of soda.
  • Plate full of fresh fruit and veggies with a Thai summer roll for dinner, also with tea.
  • Went to the store when I was hungry and didn't pick up a candy bar or any junk food.

I don't know what is keeping me from being able to stick to my guns when it comes to meals. I know when I am overeating that I should have put less on my plate, or that I could have made a different choice, but it's like I constantly feel I deserve to reward myself. I need to come up with another reward besides food. Or remind myself that a bag of Doritos are not a good trade for smaller clothes, better health, and longer life.
