achievement

I have succeeded in losing about five to ten pounds. You may be wondering why the ambiguity. Well, my weight has never stayed constant from day to day, it always fluctuated within the same five pounds. My happiness comes from now being in a completely different set of five pounds. muwahahahaha
How did I do it? I shamelessly copied the pastaqueen whose blog I read and started trying the south beach diet. Having never done an official"diet" I am suprised that it actually worked. Of course I should have figured they never would have sold thousands of books if it didn't work at least a little.
I am on day six now. I weighed at the start of day five. That is an amazing loss in four days. ESpecially it was sweet since I was preparing myself mentally to see the same number. I was used to trying to eat healthy and excercise but still see the same number at the scale. My mind was saying that would be okay, that healthy changes were healthy changes regardless of the number and that it would be wrong to quit. I know I would have still been discouraged, I think numbers distract us from the real success, that we are making positive changes. However, I do know that even so I am totally psyched about the numbers. No matter what I tell myself the key to my mental celebration or pity party is still the numbers. I have no control over this reaction. So I have decided not to weigh myself on any schedule. I may not weigh at all for awhile.
I realize if anyone wants to know if I am doing well they want to know the numbers.
Ha, I am not going to tell you.
At least until I fell like weighing myself.
