So Close and Yet So Far Away

This post is all about giving props to myself (sorry to sound vain). I have been wanting/CRAVING/dying for a huge Rice Krispy Treat from Starbucks. I have wanted it for weeks and weeks now. I have been going to Starbucks regularly because it has really seemed to help with getting the weight loss moving the past two weeks.

The treat is 55 carbs, and 2 grams of protein. NO WAY. There is no way I am going to jeopardize my loss by eating this. I want goal. I want my mini-goals. The pleasures of certain foods just are not worth the sacrifice of stalling out my weight loss. As a pre-op, I really didn't have a lot of will power or control. The DS has given me a great majority of that back.

The Willpower to...

PUT AWAY THE SCALE!!!

Will I ever have this willpower? I guess from failing so many times with diets it is ingrained in my brain. I need to start with mini-goals, like weighing every other day, then weighing once a week, every other week, and work my way up to weighing once a month. It is so difficult. I don't want to fail. Even though the scale doesn't go down every day. It is so encouraging when it does. I also like the pattern of seeing how my weigh changes from week to week.
