I have great news!
I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down ten lbs. I know it is just water weight, but that was part of starting back. OMG it felt so good to see that number. 10 lbs in 5 days I'll take it.
My shoes are still a little tight, but not bad.
I went out walking this weekend and I intend on doing the same tonight.
It is funny, I was listening to this radio station about shopping. Women like to go shopping when they are depressed but they only shop for shoes. Because clothes will always look bad but shoes will always fit. Ha not in my case... maybe next month.
I had a family gathering to attend this weekend and it was murder. There were sweats galour and fresh baked buns. Oh lord... I wanted to run. But my mom made me a special dish just for me. It was still hard though.
Thanks for your words of encouragment guys I appreciate it.

I weighed this morning and out of the 6 pounds I lost last week I gained 2 back and I have no idea why.
You really deserve a pat on the back!
btw, is that why women love shoes?! Well i'll be.
I never knew why women loved shoes so much(not to reinforce a stereotype).
OK, I guess I have to share one of our secrets too then, huh?
let me think....
I got it.
At the end of the day, when all is said and done, all any man really wants is peace and quiet. Most, such as myself, would even take it as far as to say "to be left alone", but not all.
If you don't believe me, test it. Ask your husbands, brothers, fathers, friends, and any other men in your lives.
