I was really starting to worry that I was at the beginning of a weight loss plateau, with my weigh-in being the same for 3 weeks in a row, but I weighed myself this morning (I am in the habit so I enter the correct weight on the machines at the gym) and I’m down 3 more pounds. I can’t claim it on my official weigh-in, but that’s okay, I know I’m losing weight again & that’s what matters to me.

This time of year has always been hard for me, with all of the delicious treats, drinks and foods around, but I seem to be doing okay so far without appetite suppressants. We’ll see how that goes after I start baking cookies, though. I’m not giving up my old traditions, the kids and the rest of my family like cookies & I like to make them, I’ll just have to make sure I keep track of everything I put in my mouth this month. I know I can do it, I gave up McDonald’s French fries, after all & if I can do that, I can do anything.

It doesn’t hurt that I just go some brand new jeans that I love, and that they’re available at Old Navy, and not the plus size section at Walmart, you know?
