Day 20 of 84

I know that to succeed at changing my weight from too much to just right, the journey is a slow and steady process. That understanding is part of why I am not eating a slice (a huge slice) of the cheese cake that is in the fridge. Why would I even contemplate the sweet creaminess of that, oh so not worth the momentary silkiness on the tongue. Because the scale is not moving. Ok, Ok. A change of over 10 lbs averaged over three weeks is the correct rate to keep the weight off. But I mean, really. I am careful about what I am eating (even if it is not enough) and I am working out, raising the heart rate, working up a sweat, on a daily basis. Yes my clothes are looking too big. In fact a favorite sweater is so now too big and I was told I looked doughty wearing it. So out it will go. So I guess that means the weight is just getting rearranged and muscles are being built back up. That is why I am writing this and not succumbing to a temptation that has been a pattern in the past.
