What?

I actually lost again! .8 pounds making a grand total of 7.2 pounds since starting Weight Watchers. I really didn't expect to lose, I expected to gain. Likely it was the super strict eating the last half of the week that saved me. I felt terrible about my three (BIG) pieces of chocolate cheesecake I ate the first three days of last week and tried to make up for it.

The cheesecake "binge" made me realize how bad my emotional eating can actually get. I didn't have a good Mother's Day, which put me in a bad mood then when my son and husband brought home a chocolate cheesecake from Whole Foods, I ignored it for a while but eventually went for it. It felt so good. Lifted my spirits about three bites in. The good feelings faded by the next morning and I was ready for another pick me up by the afternoon. And then Tuesday came along and more than a pick me up, it was a major craving. That's the problem, once I get started, it's hard to stop. I made myself throw away the rest of the cake the next morning because I knew if I didn't I would eat more. I'm still having a little withdrawal but today's loss is making it easier to ignore.

My goals this week are to take at least 2 walks with the boys, have a plan for every meal and make time to read some of the book I just bought. Here's to a healthy week!
