A pound is the start of many more.  I love what Hilary says...we are all learning.

P.S.  Good job on 32 pounds Hilary!  Haven't seen your ticker in a while.

Here's what I have to do to keep things in perspective. When I eat a little more than I'm supposed to or eat something I'm really shouldn't , I start to feel guilty.  If we allow ourselves to stay in that guilty mode, it will lead to the self-hate mode.  We all know that the self-hate feelings make you want to sabotage yourself...and give up.  SO...I just have to remind myself before it goes that far that this is a learning process.  I will not always be perfect.  And, something what motivates me is to think about how I was eating before I made any changes.  Even a bad day when you are trying is better than a day from your past when you weren't trying at all.  Keep going, and soon that one pound will have lots of friends to keep it company!

  God Bless ~~ Hilary

Congratulations!! One pound down is one pound gone...you are certainly headed in the right direction...keep it going!  Hugs SisterC

This was my first weekend on the program. I tried my hardest to stay on the plan but I admit it was VERY hard. i slippe dup a few times of the past few days but I tried to recover and most times I did. I got on the scale today and I lost 1lb. I was super excited even though it was one pound..it was one pound in the right direction.

On track today.
