Day Eight

Today's Weight:

237.4

Yes, you're reading it right - and so was I! 2 Ounces, I lost 2 OUNCES! Give me a break! This diet has always been so good to me, and here I've been on the thing for a solid 7 days, wavering only slightly, and for like one single solitary M&M, and I lose 2 OUNCES!

For SHAME!

I'm confused, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't have weighed myself everyday? Maybe just once at the end of the 10 day mark, and then I would have been satisfied with the 14 pound loss.

I have been sedentary, so there has been very little activity which would encourage my body to start burning fat - other than what we are told it does just breathing, sitting up right, walking, etc..

Maybe today I need to go to the gym and just sweat off 3650 calories on the eliptical in fat burn mode? It's really upsetting to me that I'm losing at this really slow rate, even though I know it's still TOO fast. I wanted to be down at least 16 pounds by today, and I had hoped 20 pounds by this party I was supposed to go to on Saturday.

I tried on the pants today, or what I thought were the pants that I was hoping to get into by Thanksgiving. Boy have I grown! I'm a little confused though, I think they may be from a different time in my life ... a thinner time, and they're just the same brand. I'm telling myself that anyway - and I guess we'll have to see when I get home and look through the closet that never ends! Skinny clothes, after Skinny clothes ... none I can wear and feel good about.

I suppose that and the pictures I took of my fat body were inspiration to make a change. So, I have to stick to my guns here. I am going to exercise today, if it kills me. Maybe just a run/jog/walk thing around the streets in my neighborhood. I can't keep on letting myself go. Perhaps I'll break out the slim-in-6 DVD? There's no time like the present, right?
