good scale!
I stepped on it today with much fear; would my recent 2lbs. down disappear, would I weigh even more???? The scale goddess was smiling; another 1/2 lb. off. I’m OK now, I’ve had my fix; with that confirmation I can believe the 2 from yesterday. I have been being very good with food and exercising my little heart out, the scale goddess should reward me. Ha!!! As I’m typing that “reward” sentence my mind is flashing: CHOCOLATE—I am truly pitiful!!! When will I learn???? AND: Isn’t it funny how the scale went from a monster to a goddess?
Food for the rest of yesterday. Lunch: V8, clam chowder, mixed lettuce salad w/ tomatoes, mandarin oranges…………..dinner: 1/2 shaved steak sub w/ lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and hot peppers
Food today. Bfsk: oatmeal w/skim, V8, Decaf tea w/skim……snack: f.f. cottage cheese, 1/2 wasa……………lunch: 2 meatballs (Ruby Jeans recipe!!!–GREAT!!), cauliflower, 1/2 sweet potato, mixed greens salad w/ tomatoes and cucumbers………….dinner: V8, 1/2 Wasa w/ 1/2 slice Swiss cheese, clam chowder (last of that batch), 2/3 of a blueberry yogurt w/ 1/2 cup extra blueberries added (my grocery had blueberries– 2 containers for $4.oo, thought that was pretty good). Snack tonight was 1/2 wasa and 3 prunes.
A. got her cross country sports letter tonight for making districts. We were there most of the evening while they went through every fall sport. Both the volleyball and field hockey did super this year. The boys coaches bought a cake for the kids and invited the girls to share. What a difference. At her last school we had full catered dinners at these things; it was a much more affulent student body. But this school is ranked in the top 200 high schools in the country—aaarrrggghh—listen to me—everything goes back to food!!!
I give up, one more cup of tea and I’m going to bed; sweet dreams, chickadees!

Woohoo, congrats! another 1/2 pounds less of you, and you did not celebrate with chocolate.
I wish I was that strong

Good work, kiddo! I think chocolate is the PERFECT reward for EVERYTHING in life. Perfect reward for success, perfect comfort for a lack of success, just perfect all around. Every day that I stick to my allotted points (and save two for the very end) I have a Weight Watchers CHOCOLATE ice cream sandwich. They are to DIE for, I swear! I have learned to live with, and make adjustments for, my dependence on chocolate. I can’t live without it. You are doing soooooo well! I’m SO proud of you, Soclose, my dear!

2 and a 1/2 down. I am so proud of you. You are definitely going to meet your goal.
I wish I could be half as good as you food-wise. and I stick to a number in the scale for the longest period.
I feel so warm and inspired reading about your progress, I am going to be good too. 
Hope your daughter is doing well now.
Thanks so much for your comments. As I said, I have come to love you all.
Yes, marriage is a complicated thing here but then whose life is perfect? 
I am lucky in many ways.
love,
