Well, it's the one week mark and I am still motivated. I am controlling myself around the fudge that happened to arrive at my house yesterday. My husband's mom made it for us, so throwing it away is out of the question. I just have to hide it and behave myself while my husband and son enjoy it. I enjoyed a piece last night and still didn't go over my calories. Since I am about to get on the treadmill again, maybe I will have another tonight. I have to admit, though, I felt a little bloated when I woke up this morning. My husband said he did too, so it was probably the evil fudge. HHMMM, maybe I should resist, even if I have calories to spare. Afterall, those calories are meant to be used on healthy food, not empty food.

It was another sunny day here in Florida, but I didn't go out in it. I would rather walk on the treadmill in the air conditioned privacy of my own home, but I know I should go outside and get some of the sun's vitamins. I will make that a challenge for myself....to get outside and do something active with the family this weekend. There is no rain in the forecast, so there is no reason why we can't do something.

Thanks to everyone who comments and gives me praise for having a good attitude. It's not easy sometimes, but I talk to myself as if I were talking to a friend. I like to give my friends advice and show them the positive side of things. I'm trying to be my own best friend. My husband is my other best friend, but he doesn't understand my relationship with food as much, so I am relying on him for "silent" support. He knows what I am doing and loves to see me succeed, but I have talked about losing weight so much in the past couple of years he is sick of hearing it. "Don't talk about it, just do it" is what he says. So, here I am, talking to myself and to you......and I am doing it.

Well, I am going to jump on the treadmill now. TTYL
