Tuesday's Scale Tip

This morning was a GOOD one! I dropped 3.2 this week for a grand total of 35.4 since January 3rd. I really was discouraged in January when I was so heavy reading weight loss stories and how it took them what seemed (to me) like months and months to lose 35, 40, 60, 80, etc. There were so many thoughts about "Why bother?!" "Will I be able to do this for months and months??" and most depressing "What if I get too discouraged because I don't drop that fast and put it back on..." In 13 weeks I have lost 35 lbs! My goal when I sat down with my Dr. was 50 by the end of May. I asked him "Do you think that's possible?" and he said, and I quote, "Hell yeah." He could see that I was determined, and I could feel it.
The other thing I feel is eater's regret! Last night I went to our local mall to use a Bath & Body Works gift card my dad gave me for Christmas. I used to work for B&BW so I'm pretty much burnt out for life, but I do like candles so I figured I would use it on that. NEGATIVE. I like soft vanilla candles or cinnamon candles, and all that was on their shelves were REALLY over powering things like Coconut Water and Margarita Tangerine or something to that effect. Needless to say I left there empty handed and with a slight head ache! So when I got back to the car where the boys were waiting it was already 6:15 and we decided to eat around there instead of coming home. The only restaurants around there are Green Turtle and Don Pablos (and a new Olive Garden I forgot about!) so we went to DP. I legitimately tried to find the thing with the least amount of calories, because I knew I would eat chips and hot sauce. Flautas where the least caloric thing next to tortilla soup. Are you kidding me?!?! Everything was SO heavy in calories. I spent the rest of the evening in pain and carried it with me through to this morning. We will definitely be avoiding that place (at all cost!) for a long time. Even as I sit here now my stomach is in knots. And it wasn't even that good! Damn you eater's regret!!
