Am I Skinny Yet?

Start of week 7/14/13: 182.8
Weigh In 7/28/13: -1.2 (two week total)
 Current Weight: 181.6

Last Sunday (7/21) I forgot to weigh in until the late afternoon, since I prefer to weigh-in at the same time, I thought I'd do it Monday. Well I forgot Monday too. So I decided to put it off until today. I want to keep it to at least 6 days between weigh-ins to try to be as consistent as I can. Having less than 6 days between weigh-ins can be misleading when it comes to how much weight I am losing weekly.

While I really did forget those two days, I think my brain didn't want me to remember, since I didn't have the best week. I'm sure if I had weighed myself last week, I would have put on weight. I had a better week this week and lost 1.2 lbs. I would have liked to weigh-in today and see I lost 2.2 lbs, I'm not that far off my 1 lb a week goal since I have lost 2.8 lbs in the last 3 weeks.

Portion control is still my enemy. I don't know what my problem is, maybe I need to start cooking things I don't like to eat.

I'm kidding of course. I already have a hard enough time resisting temptation. I get frustrated (like a small child) when I can't eat whatever the heck I want, and I overindulge (which includes portion control) out of spite. If I eat only foods I can't stand, it won't be long before I give up altogether and put all the weight back on. And that wouldn't be good.

Speaking of putting all the weight back on. I was at my pain doctor's office the other day and the assistant asked me my weight. Without even thinking about it I answered 202. It took me several seconds to realize what I had just said. I mean you hear about people lying about their weight, but it's usually less than what they weigh, not more and certainly not almost 20 lbs more! Good greif!

Though it was a good reminder that I don't weigh over 200 lbs any more and never want to weigh over 200 lbs again. It made me happy to realize I lost that weight and therefore I can continue to lose weight!
