It is hard for me to accept the fact that, if my realistic goal is to lose a pound a week,  there are going to be many days where I don’t see a loss at all. I have been the same weight 5 days in a row now, despite sticking with my “weight-loss” plan perfectly. Five days. I know I will eventually see a loss, but it is very frustrating!

On the plus side, though, my cravings for sweets and especially chocolate have all but disappeared. I went five days with no sweets at all. I don’t plan them in my menus, so when I have a sweet, it is going to be something I’ve added. But I didn’t between Sunday afternoon when I had a treat at the talk we went to at the library and last night when I had a McDonald’s cone on the way back from the concert. For me, that is huge progress!
