While my posting may seem positive becasue I can post a loss for the week, I am feeling like a bit of a failure due to some choices I made over the weekend.
Current Weight: 197 (3 lbs. lost)
I have successfully reached my first goal of anything that begins with a "1". My new goal will be 175 by my 33rd birthday in mid-February. This should allow me to wear a size 16, something I haven't seen since my wedding 12+ years ago.
What am I feeling a failure for? I had nachos for dinner at friends Saturday night. I did bring baked chips (only 1gm of fat per serving) and lowfat sour cream. But I also had nacho cheese, refried beans, chili and hamburger on them. And, I had one of Sean's molasses cookies. It rocked. Then on Sunday after a healthy, but plentiful, dinner at my parents house I commited the ultimate cheat. It was a very small piece, but never the less it was a piece of french apple pie with about 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream.
I tried to make myself feel better by noting that beside the nachos and cookie on Saturday, all I had (all day) was 1 packed of weight control instant oatmeal and water. Sunday I popped in some pre-packaged meal with 210 calories and 4gms of fat but only ate half of it, as it was very gross. Besides that...water.
I know. Not good.
I need to get back on my several, well-portioned, healthy meals throughout the day habit. Going places where I know the choices will not be in my best interest, I tell myself to not eat all day so I can take part in the festivities (= food). I have to stop equating the festivities with the food if I am ever going to make it through the next two weeks.

Read this statement carefully...
You are LOOSING weight DURING the holiday season!
PS
What happens after you hit your target? Will you be able to have a little pie then?
I'm just thinking about quality of life. You shouldn't have to eat card board lunches to get healthy. It's just not right!
While I really do see your point, I just am very afraid that one piece of pie makes it really easy to have two, three, four, etc. This would not be a foreign concept, based on my past experiences.
Once I do hit my final target, I will have to carefully create a balance to stay status quo. That will be tricky, but I will worry about it when the time comes.
Okay, I try not to do this sort of thing in real life (outside of work), but this is the only thing in the world that bothers me more than "renember".
Lose = opposite of gain
Loose = opposite of tight
I feel better now. Carry on.
Jane you make me smile with your bad ass editor self.
