I Did It!

I stuck to the South Beach diet for 2 weeks (for those of you who aren't familiar with it, the first two weeks are pretty strict - only meat, eggs, some cheese, and vegetables). My cheating was VERY minimal (I had one bite of cake on my sister's birthday - and it was an actual, normal bite). I actually thought the food that you get to eat is pretty good, the really hard part is everything you CAN'T eat. Anyway...I lost 5 pounds the first week and 1 pound the second week. I'm a little disappointed in that "1"; I was hoping to be 130 at the end of two weeks. I did put on some pre-pregnancy pants today and they went on very easily (not too big, not too small). That felt good. I'm thinking that 120 is pretty unrealistic. I'd like to get down to 125 though. I think all of my old clothes will fit at that weight. We'll see. I'm pretty sure that it will take me the next several months to lose those 6 pounds. I'll still stick to the diet, but I'm not going to be as strict as I have been. If I'm at a party, I'll have a small piece of cake.

(Look how easily I'm talking about weight.

It's therapy - working through my craziness.)
