Perspective

I lost half a pound , (was one pound BEFORE I went to the bathroom.. not sure how that happened) but anyway, I felt a little discouraged by that because I'd like to keep losing 1.5-2 a day.  But really, one day doesn't make a difference. I am eating right, it will show up. At the same time I have lost SIX POUNDS IN FOUR DAYS!!! I need to celebrate that. I guess I am just so hungry that it seems forever since I've just been able to eat much... but it has only been 5 days. I assume the hunger will get to be less. Also 6 lbs out of about 120 just doesn't seem like much. But it is!!

I am trying to get butter or margarine packages to make a visual of just what a few pounds LOOKS like. I think that will help. Going to go get tenderloin this morning, so I get that for supper. Will get BIGGER apples... maybe some strawberries. The pork Kevin loves is on sale. Probably make that for him this weekend to freeze so he has it when he wants it. Even though lean, I can't have it.

Lots of housework to do. Trying NOT to think about food, but that is difficult. I am meeting a friend for coffee later, and it will be close to lunch time. It is not as easy anymore to just do that. I have to take fruit or chicken with me so I have something. Ok.. enough whining!!

Change my perspective Lord. I am grateful. I can do this!! Bring me encouragement today Lord in some surprising ways!! Please??? Dumb to ask that. I need to encourage myself. Ok. Now to get on with the day.
