Lost 3 pounds and Gained some self-respect
Getting back on track, Weigh-In April 28th, 2008I’ve lost 3 pounds! I would normally weigh in Monday, but since I was out of town Monday morning I did it Sunday, and was glad to see 3 pounds gone of the shocking high weight of 215.
I am mainly happy what I have gained, however : A more optimistic outlook and feeling better about myself. I’ve gotten back in control of my food, and even started walking a bit.
It is such a change to be able to want to come here and share good news instead of the weeks and weeks where I just wanted to hide & cry…
I was still coming to post from time to time on my blog, but with such despair and self-hatred. I am pretty proud of the fact that despite the backsliding I managed to come here from time to time anyway - I credit that to the goals I made for 2008 and not wanting to see myself failing at all of them (one was keeping up the blog - most of the rest have been big failures so far this year…).
Anyway, 3 pounds are gone so I have something to show for my efforts, and even without something to show I’m really pleased to be back.

Thanks, Round, for the comments on the Pepper Steak Salad. It really is great! I was experimenting with trying to post some of my favorite recipes in a separate category but everything I enter shows up on the General Category. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but I’ll get it figured out eventually.
Don’t give up on your blog! It’s a great way to vent and reflect on successes (and setbacks). I look forward to hearing from you!

It is great to see a reward for all of your hard work. It is so easy to get bogged down and defeated. Three pounds is GREAT! Can’t wait to see that number on my own weight loss tally!

Thanks for your comment. I was starting to give up on my blog, so I know how you feel. Congrats on doing so well. You’ve inspired me, both to keep plugging along toward a more healthy destination and to try to write more often.
