When I started weighing myself daily I quickly experienced dashed expectations. Success did not come. I was discouraged and berating myself. I ate a huge bag of Honey Dijon potato chips. Not good.
However, I didn't quit. In fact, I added the following:
6. Stopped eating after 8 PM.
7. Signed up for a yoga class one evening a week.
8. Started using smaller bowls and plates for my food.
9. Stopped eating bread.
10. Started a food journal. Identified my downfall---chips (duh).
11. Watched a weight-control program on TV.
12. Took a pair of good walking shoes to work.
13. Started drinking more water.
14. Read "Total Health Makeover" by Marilu Henner.
15. Did not restock Mac & Cheese, soft drinks, or ice cream.
16. Sat on the floor to watch TV (suggested by yoga teacher).
At the end of the second week I had lost one pound. One pound!? After all my good behavior?! This was so unfair. More self pity, silent railing at the scale, the dog, the stupid diet. I ate a whole peach pie for dinner. Not really. Only half.
Dang.
