i had a good week of following my eating goals, then thursday i weighed in. i had gained 2 pounds from the thursday before. what in the world? so i took a couple of days off from spark program. i didn't go crazy eating and still weigh 270 this morning, but i was kind of put off. it's funny because my weight loss buddy told me he had a goal of losing 5 pounds, and i told him my goal was just to do my exercises and follow my goals. i said that way i could make my goals and not be disappointed if the scale didn't reflect my progress. i guess it is easy to say those things but harder to accept them. so my new week starts today, and i will work on acceptance of whatever happens. i know there have been some weeks where i have really overeaten and gotten on the scale only to find that my weight was the same. at those times, i breathed a sigh of relief and went on overeating. so now it is my turn to take a deep breath and go on with my program.
