7 week weigh in.

I weighed in today at 178 pounds. I gained .4 ounces today. I was told that the gain was water. My fat mass went down 1.2 pounds. So in retrospect it wasn't a terrible weigh in.

I started my day very angry after my weigh in.  I knew I didn't lose weight and I knew it was because I got stupid with my choices over the weekend.  I am always so hard on myself. I am constantly thinking "if I had or hadn't done this or that the result would have been better". So of course my thinking was if I hadn't of went crazy devouring everything I saw over the weekend I would have actually lost weight. I had several friends tell me that everyone makes mistakes and it's okay to take a small step back. Those kind words helped a lot. I was still growling about the .4 when I got home this evening. I saw the quote above while scrolling through Facebook and it changed my perspective.  Sometimes this journey seems unattainable and so out of reach but I am proud of the progress so far. I have lost 16 pounds in less than 2 months!  So despite my mistakes this past weekend I am happy. I know that I have done well this week and am ready to continue the journey. I would love nothing more than to reach 20 pounds in 8 weeks!!
